Costly Equipment Looking down a residen- tial street or at any teenage hangout, anyone could see young people playing different types of un- organized sports. Though many enjoyed playing them, they didn't always appre- ciate the cost of the equip- ment. Some sports involving such items as a hackey sack, frisbee or skateboard required only one piece of equipment. A hackey sack, a small ball resembling a bean bag, cost approximately 56. Frisbees ranged from Sl to as much as S25. Skateboard- ing was the more costly of the three. Skateboards started at S25 , but often were much more expensive. Teens played every im- aginable sport involving a ball. Footballs, basketballs, soccer balls and baseballs were used when students played a game either in someone's backyard, in a nearby park or in an open field somewhere in the neighborhood. The equip- ment usually started at S10 and went up from there. Whatever the cost, students enjoyed playing un- organized, recreational sports and made sure they had the equipment. The only problem was that occasional rainy day after- noon when there was no one else available and the only altemative was to get out the old standby, the 59 cent pack of cards, and play a game of solitaire. If acking It. Senior Chris Hartman plays hacky-sack to kill time before going to class after lunch. Hacky-sacking required skills not used in most sports. 'I Recreational Sports Sports at 4-i. .
