for the campout that followed, we burned off pounds we could live without. Cullum and Boren and Oshmanns wouldnt lose business after graduation, They'd get rich.

Nine Austin high schools continued a raving battle for the number one spot in all sports. Everyone worked together in a team effort to be crowned number one. Varsity stakes were greater than running a mile or passing a football in PE class. Hundreds ol fans cheered for us in the rainy, cold loolball season. We packed spectators in the over-heated boys' gym to see a basketball court come alive. The cheering crowd made the challenge of competition worth fighting for, But their high hopes and expectations put pressure on us. We had pushed hard at practice and planned undefeatable plays. Come game time, it was all on the line. We played against people shooting for the same goal. We tried to read the opponents' minds, hoping to counterattack their plan of action. We'd hurriedly seek their weakest point and interpose with our strongest defense. We learned our own playing abilities were measured by how well our opponents put up a fight. Win or lose, we learned to play the game. 5 Gail Hamnck runs to the lar corner of the court to return a serve.
