Physical fitness. Maintaining the condition of ' physical fitness is a demanding requisite of being a healthy person. To be truly healthy, a state of fitness is needed mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically. Mentally, curricular activities supplement one ' s stability. Socially, a person ' s advancement depends greatly upon his extracurricular functions, such as clubs. Emotionally, a person ' s major development results from constant trials and testing of his daily life, inclusive of his ability to handle responsibility and to make decisions. But what of PHYSICAL fitness? The answer lies, in part, in one ' s participation in the athletic program sponsored by his school. This participation is a vital cog in the gearworks of staying healthy. At Granite Falls High School, the sports program revolves around the central theme of maintaining optimim physical health, in addition to developing abilities in its participants. A skill MUST be refined before it is useful. Consequently, the athletes in this school are involved in rigorous practice and drill sessions, exercising programs, and full schedules of meets, games, and tournaments. Their coaches, learned in the ways of physical conditioning, and with much experience in the education of high school youths, play their agendas in a way that makes full use of the time allotted them to polish young men and women into well-rounded athletes. Athletic participation is often very beneficial later in a person ' s scholastic advancement. Many colleges look favorably upon such involvement, and military schools and academics relish the admission of such students. As far as the leadership roles, in sports go, there are few more responsible duties than being captain of the team. Aside from the physical benefits, the youthful sportsman reaps other rewards from his athletic career. A sense of togetherness, along with the capacity to function as a unit, follows naturally fVom the prolonged exposure to fellow teammates. It is learned that one must cooperate, taking orders as well as giving them when circumstances dictate thusly. Although these things are taught at other points in the early years, they seldom take firm root unless put into practice, for only through the utilization of an asset is it exploited. Without the utilization of one ' s body, the highest level of physical health is unattained; without the utilization of one ' s mind, the basic talent for thought is lost in the maze of the unthinking.

Go Team — Rah!! f Granite Falls High was very fortunate this year, as in years past to have a group of spirited young girls wilHng to go before the sports crowds, lead the fans ' yells and screams, and coordinate their pep into a solid backup for the various Demon sport squads. This special group of young ladies, determined to exemplify the high strung majority of the student body, was known as the varsity cheerleaders. They worked ardently to perfect a uniform quality in each of their numerous cheers, and painted a virtual i.; , graffiti gallery of signs and posters. Since their influence upon morale is unable to be measured, it is relatively easy to underestimate their im- portance. But, it must be said that the cheerleaders provide a boost to the sports program that is second to none. 10
