It was not the most satisfying season for our cross country team. The squad finished last in NAIA District 2 action. But for a team in a rebuilding year, encouragement can be found in the talent developing for future seasons. According to team captain Scott Ball, There were numerous in- dividual efforts that made the season worthwhile. Ball said improvements could be seen in nearly every runner after each meet. Highlights of the season includ- ed junior Scott Ball ' s 14th place finish at the NAlA District 2 cham- pionships at Monmouth and Kevin Ball ' s (Scott ' s younger brother) 20th place finish at the Pacific Lutheran Invitational meet in Tacoma. Over 105 runners participated at the PLU meet. Our main problem was just that we lacked experience, said Scott Ball. Only two runners returned from last year. Of course that ' s no excuse for when we ran poorly. But experience would help us tremen- dously. Also running for the Bruins this year were Jon Aday, Dwight Larabee, Roger McCollum, Fred Tillman and Keith Wigley. Ed Kidd CROSS COUNTRY NEWS by Ed Kidd INTRAMURALS by Ed Kidd On the surface, it looked like a bunch of college students getting together every weekend for some friendly competition. But for those who participated in intramural foot- ball and three-person basketball, the competition was as intense as any professional or intercollegiate con- test. In men ' s football, the Whitehouse edged out Lewis Apart- ments in the final minutes of the championship game winning by a score of 28-20. In the semifinals, the Whitehouse had beaten Sut- ton Carey Newlin, also by a score of 28-20, while Lewis had defeated the defending champions, Hobson II, by a score of 20-16. In women ' s three-person basketball, Teresa Black, Joanna Elam, Cynthia Miller, and Becky Wayland won 16-14 in the cham- pionship game against Julie Simp- son, Janine Smith, Amy Tomchak, and Sue Woolsey. In the men ' s basketball championships, Paul Alm- quist, Scott Kwasnitza, Alan Roush, and Dan Swanson defeated Gene Christian, Rick Meyers, Bill Schniedewind, and Eric Smith by a score of 40-31.

LIFE IN OUR TOWN by Kasey Crocker As a member of the cast of Our Town, I watched the faces of the audience as they shuffled out night after night. Some people were eager to share their impressions. Others silently returned to their cars to con- template their feelings. Following each performance, the audience members were given the opportunity to meet the cast and discuss the play at a reception held in Hoover. They were also treated to a special slide presentation of the ac- tual New Hampshire settings of the play. (The slides were photographed by Michael Graves, a New Hamp- shire native, on a recent trip to attend a conference and visit family.) The community of Grover ' s Corners (this town name is fictitious, but other towns mentioned in the play are the real names of south New ' Hampshire towns) comes to life in this inspirational, Pulitzer Prize win- ning play by Thornton Wilder. The town is introduced and described by the leading role of the Stage Manager portrayed by Michael Graves. Joy Uitdeflesch and Mark Coterill played the young lovers, Emily Webb and George Gibbs. Their parents were protrayed by Dean Judson and Leslie Wogberg (Mr. and Mrs. Webb) and Ken Stewart and Carrie Miers (Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs). In addition, there was a strong supporting cast. Our Town catches an in- teresting concept about our view towards life. By the third act, the au- dience is swept away with emotions from simply watching two families ' lives. The three acts represent various aspects of daily living. — 19 —
