The Skins did manage to win this game. -Q art-time Athletes T hrive onCompetition My favorite thing about IBA is its unstructured and total chaos. We play however we want to, said senior Phil Mattes. Besides the chaos, intramural basketball CIBAD allowed those who didn't want to play for the school still play competitive basketball. The IBA was organized by Mr. John Pergi and Mr. Norm Sheets. There was not a freshman-sophomore divi- sion this year because of lack of interest, there was a sophomore team which was incorporated into the ju- nior-senior division. The teams picked their own mem- bers and any people who wanted to play but couIdn't find a team were drafted into a team. The teams played a series of games which ended the season with a tourna- ment and championship game. I really liked IBA this year, I wish there were more sophomores that wanted to play, commented sopho- more Tren Mays. The IBA was not for the weak at heart. Play was usu- lntramural Basketball ally very competitive to say the least. Most took the games seriously and had a strong will to win. Games werevejry physical and one could see many elbows be- ing thrown throughout the duration of the game. lt gets prettyrbugh underneath the hoop, said senior Troy Kort. Tempers would often flare and the game become a little too rough. Occasionally a player was ejected by the referees for getting a little out of hand. The Bud Lite team won the championship by easily defeating the other nine teams. Senior member of the winning team, Don Biggs said, The key to our success was that everyone put us down and said that we didn't know how to play basketball, we had something to prove. Finishing second to the Bud Lite team was the Skins, while Spectrum and the Sophomores took up the last two spots respectively. Phil Mattes Deidre Walker

During Foreign Language Week, all of the foreign language students began by making posters that pro- moted their individual language. These posters ranged from simple greetings and messages to signs outside of classrooms that told the name of the course in the different languages. The students hoped that by making the signs, peo- ple who were not involved in language would become interested and decide to enroll in a langauge course. Freshman Anne Kingsley said, Making these signs not only makes the halls look better, it is also a lot of funl Next on the roster of activities was a spirit boost- ing soccer game in which each language must play ev- ery other language in a round-robin fashion until a win- ner is established. Said French studentjunior Matt Neu- mann, lt was a great disappointment after our crush- ing victory last year to lose the soccer match to the .asf-M ' W , his , . D -3 Q. 'Est i ic 'Y Germans. Finally, a banquet was held where each person who attended brought a dish that is native to his or her lan- guage's country. The dinner could have been better if there were more main course items instead of deserts, remarked sophomore Aaron Lamski. After the dinner a game of Quizmo was played. In the game, representatives from each languages compet- ed by in answering questions about the other lan- guages's countries. Junior Lorelei Nash said, lt's a tradi- tion that the Germans win the soccer match, the French win the Quizmo game, and the Spanish walk away as los- ers! Even though the activities lasted for only one week, it was enough time for the whole school to have a taste of the foreign languages offered here at HHS. Senior Lisa Blauvelt concluded, I think that Foreign Language Week promotes good feelings and camarade- rie between the foreign language students.

The games between the three languages were played in a round-robin fashion to determine the two finalists: French and German. The championship game ended in a tie, which was broken by a kick-off that declared the Germans triumphant Foreign Language Week
