Sports of All Sorts!! Lori Bms. a reserve starter, has the look of deter- mination and concentration it takes to be a good volleyball player. If someone came up to you and asked, “How many sports does Milan High School have?” Could you answer it? Well, if you don’t know, the Indians compete in nine sports on the junior and senior high level. Those sports are foot- ball, tennis, wrestling, track, cross coun- try, golf, volleyball, baseball, and basket- ball. Another point that should be men- tioned is that Milan has as many sports as schools that are much larger and the In- dians do very well in them. Milan is a member of the Eastern In- diana Athletic Conference otherwise known as the E.I.A.C. Grades play a big part in sports. If a student cannot keep up with his studies, he loses his eligibility and no longer is a member of that particular team. During the year, after each of the seasons (fall, winter, spring), the Athletic Booster Club sponsored banquets to award athletes for their achievements. This year with the school being remodeled, many things were contributed to athletics. New locker room facilities, training room, weight room, and remodel- ing of the old locker rooms were a few things done to the building. Fencing was put around the football field as well as the baseball field. An all-weather proof track was also added. The gym floor was redone and the old stage was torn out and made into a wrestling room. Another tennis court was built to make a total of four courts to add to Milan’s already growing athletic program. 13

Iii9hta, Oimifi» ltvm Showtime!! Fifty cents! What the heck is that for? commented a student. The teacher stated, Well, if you want to go watch the assembly in the cafeteria, pay up or go to study hall!” Milan students were introduced to a wide variety of programs like movies, rock bands, and student performances. Many of the programs were highlighted by the lighting effects on the stage. The student council sponsored some of the programs, while others were money makers for other clubs. Most people when they hear the word cafetorium, turn green in the face and wonder in amazement what you just said. For those who don’t know what it means, it’s a cafeteria at one time, while an auditorium at others. At showtime, all the tables are moved out and more chairs are added. After the show, the tables are moved back in and once again it becomes a cafeteria. “Now class, weren’t you glad you went down to watch the program!” the teacher said. The class replied, “We sure did!” 14 Isn't life great! In a hobo’s point of view! Spec- tacular ’82 is the scene of this happy bunch of students. Again this year the annual powder-puff football game is held on Homecoming day. At certain times of the year, like Homecoming and sectional, the cheerleaders lead the students in pep sessions.
