A strong running game led to the junior varsity football team's success. Mark Hebert breaks to the open field in one of the team's 10 uninterrupted victories. Exciting events filled the year. Student and faculty involved themselves in school activities ranging from the everyday routines of break and lunch to the special occasions of Homecoming and Celebrity Ball. National events and holidays also affected the lives of pupils and personnel. Man-made holidays such as teacher-in-service days grew in number. Students who were exempt from exams received an extra week away from school during Thanksgiving. Athletes competed in almost every sport imaginable, with some coming away victorious and others experiencing defeat. A long- awaited addition to the scholastic sports program was instigated. Gymnastics was added to the standard seasons of football and basketball, On the whole, the teams playing less popular sports did better than the teams with a large student interest. Interest in these so-called minor sports grew as the teams' successes grew. Over-all, many more students became involved in school activities than in the past. Everyone wanted and expected big things to happen in the eventful year. Annual Activities such as the Powder Puff game attracted more spectators than in previous years. The spectators watch the seniors defeat the juniors at the November4game. One task the La Petites had was deco- rating jv football player's lockers. Robert Guy's locker is decorated with a small leopard for the game against Adamson. Xl stuafxg
