They sold these products by taking orders and by selling their products at Glendale Mall. This class was simulated to be like an ordinary working environ- ment.

There were many thrilling and disap- pointing events in their sports pro- grams. When they lost their first football game to St. Rita, it was one of the disappointments, but their victory over Fairfield in a close Homecoming game was rewarding. The girls ' volleyball team placed fourth in the MWSSD tournament here and the swimming team set some new records. Several wres- tlers won first place in different tour- naments. The girls ' basketball team had a frustrating year with only one victory over Minnesota in CSSD. But, in contrast to the girls ' team, the boys ' basketball team easily beat all deaf teams to claim the CSSD champion- ship. The cheerleaders started their year by competing in the Marion County Fair and State Fair contests and ended their year with the CSSD and Southport championships. IT ' S NOT EASY to be a winner. Each team had to work and practice hard everyday to accomplish its goals. During the Minnesota game at C SSD, Brian Bippus drives past ttie defense and goes up for two points. ISD won and moved up to the championship game. DeShane Roberts, a freshman, attempts to rush past two Union defenders. Union ' s pass- ing helped them beat the Orioles.
