flntlamuial The Intramural Program, under the direction of Coach Zuchowski and Mrs. Nafziger, was very successful this year. Students participated in the co-recreational sports of whiffle ball and volleyball. In addition to the individual competition found in bandminton and ping pong, boys’ basketball and girls’ basketball were included in the program. These sports not only filled in the noon hour but served the valuable purpose of developing good sportsmanship, athletic ability, and a desire to win. 15

To the tune of “I am a little Freshman” the class of ’64 began its memorable first week at Paxton High. Although the traditional peanut rolling and hair braiding were present., everyone enjoyed them, even the Freshmen. During the afternoon program on Friday, the Freshmen entertained the upper classmen with many clever skits ranging from “Beatnicks” to “Boards.” This program brought the Freshmen Week to a close. The entire student body sang the loyalty and officially welcomed the Freshman Class. Numbering 115, by far the largest class ever to enter Paxton High, we expect great things in the future from them. 14
