h ng kong ,ohooey W, ost people relate being new with being better. One group of people who agrees with this statement is the members of the newly-formed judo team. The club was founded by junior Richard Jones and his instructor, Andy Connelly, a fourth degree black belt. I have trained in judo before and I realized that a club here would be a good idea, said Jones. The purpose of the seven member team is to teach self-defense and to pro- vide a fun way to exercise. Through sev- eral hours of practice each week, team members learned many ways to protect themselves in case they ever needed to. A standard judo match consists of ei' ther getting your opponent down to the mat using different techniques such as a pin or a choke or getting him to surrender. Team members were able to compete throughout the year and participate in the state tournament. ' 'Q - Richard Jones holds Andy Parks and forces him to surrender. 1--.,-:i. ik , I . .

Both the girl's team and boys team faced a much tougher schedule than in years past. But by working hard and pull- take your mark . . . stroke for stroke ing together as a team, the swimmers came through with a rather successful season. We may have gotten off to a slow start, but by the end of the season eve- ryone was swimming best times. More people qualified for State than last year. We proved to be a dominating team in the region, said Sunny Smiley, Girl's team captain.
