Another First for Imperial High School O.K. boys, fifteen push-ups on the fingertips. After that, thirty quick sit-ups. These were the familiar sounds the Imperial High School boys heard since the long-awaited basketball season began on November 15. The boys were soon being taught the basic fundamentals of ball control, foot work, dribbling, lay-ups, and jump shots, as well as general conditioning, under the direction of Mr. Petty and Mr. Gillen, physical education instructors. Vigorous workouts took place daily as the eager boys pre- pared for the intramural basketball season. Imperial basketball teams attended the 1965 Los Angeles Invitational Basketball Classic held in December at the Los Angeles Sports Arena and saw ULCA win their third straight classic. The boys also attended Laker games in Los Angeles. Many professional techniques and plays were brought home and applied in the Intramural League and against Ambassador College B teams.

IMPERIAL FIELD DAY At 9 a.m. Sunday, May 8, 1966, Field Day began for more than 450 anxious Imperial boys and girls and approximately 500 spectators. This long-awaited and much-prepared-for event was the seventh in the history of Imperial Schools. All previous field days had turned out to be sunny and warm, but not this one. To the dismay of students they awoke Sunday morning only to be greeted by a drizzling rain. However, it soon became apparent that it wasn't raining hard enough to call the contests off, and the meet began on schedule. Although participants were hampered by the unusually cool day that was interrupted by occasional showers, nevertheless, many records fell as a re- sult of all-out effort. Special honors went to a junior, Merle May, outstanding boy athlete of the day who broke high school records in both the 100- and 220-yard dashes, and jill Hockwald, a ninth grader, who re- ceived the most outstanding girl-ath- lete award for breaking junior high records in the 50-yard dash and broad iufHP' Best Performer GIRLS-Jill Hockwald-New Record-50 yard dash, 6.95 First Place-220 yard dash: New Record-broad lump-I4'I0If2 7 First PIace-880 yard relay.
