Intramurals Promote Athletic Competition Intramural sports allow every student at Norland to participate in competitive athletics. During the past decades the fitness of American youth has been on a steady decline. Now the need for fitness in todayhs Amer- ica is being stressed across the width and breadth of the country. An integral part of this program is encourag- ing students to participate in athletics and competitive sports. The intramural program at Norland fulfills this aspect of the fitness program. In accordance with this trend toward htness, an after- school sports program was initiated. Basketball, football, volleyball, and softball competitions were organized on approximately the same basis. Students formed teams and a schedule was compiled by the physical education department. The leagues were organized on a class level. After the class champions were determined, the three played for the school intramural championship. The winning team members received 1962 intramural patches. Through these functional activities students who might not have had a chance to participate in com- petitive athletics were given the opportunity to do so. The program created a spirit of competition and good sportsmanship for all involved. Shugieboard is only one of a varied selection of activities provided by the physical education department's aftewtschool program at Norland. 171 Boys do not have a monopoly on basketball as these girls scramble to receive a long pass. Height is dehnitely a determining factor in deciding which team gains possession of the basketball after the tip 017.
