The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat Some students like sports but don't want to commit them- selves to a heavy practice schedule. Because of this, intermur- als came about. This type of team sport enables friends, clubs, and organizations to bind together and enjoy a bit of friendly rivalry. Annually, football, soccer, basketball, tug-of-war, and volleyball are competitive events that occur. Participation in these games is not forced, the teams are organized by individ- ualsg anyone and everyone can play. The soccer intermurals were held September 3-October 30. The Team emerged victorious over six other teams playing. Phoenix ll was defeated by the Team in the final game. The second annual 'Great Palm Bay Tug-Off' was held De- cember 15-17. Sixteen teams, comprised of 148 students grunted and groaned as they each put forth all the effort they had to pull the other team headlong into the mud. The team at the origin of the final winning tug was X-Country. They defeat- ed the Rhinos who was made up of members from the varsity football team. Those who participated in any intermural enjoyed the fun, sportsmanship and camaraderie that took place at these events. At last, high school sports for fun, not profit. Girls have muscles too, and here Linda Burnes shows just how many muscles she has as she tugs her way to victory. The agony of defeat struck once again, this time it hit Kelly Miller and McCove Sutton. The force was enough to knock them clear off their feet. Fighting what seemed to be a losing battle, Russ Manion was pulled nearer and nearer to the losing line. It was the splash heard around the world, as senior Paul Tolbert was dragged down in the mud. 24 f TUG OF-WAR

No Scrooges Here! One of the most fun filled times during the year is the short few days before Christmas break. The work load is lightened, and there is a mad rush to hand in last minute assignments. A lot of good deeds are done during this time, one of the biggest is when the faculty and administrators get together and host a Christmas Party for the entire student body. All the hassels of the past are forgotten. Here Jennifer Swasezy, and Mitch Garner discuss Lynn Westenbargars new fad, balloons instead of bells. Modern dance students, Valerie Johnson, Jennifer Johnson, Kim Sepelyak, Annette Maraki, Bonnie Lucci, and Vicki Ellul strut their stuff during the Christmas Party, as a going away present for the Holidays. Walking out of the party area, Joe Vitialiano was caught red handed, cokes, candy canes, and all. Ready for the Christmas hunting seasons, Terry Tenpenny, Tim Huffman, and Carry Moorehead show off their army fatigues. :gr
