PE Department Sponsors Activities If you're anywhere near the gym during homeroom, watch out! Intramurals take place at this time. There were no set rules for organizing a team except tc have lots of enthusiasm. Volleyball and basketball were offered for girls. Ninety girls competed to play in a championship game held Fun Night. Six boys' physical education classes participated in intramural hockey. The gym class picked an A and B team to compete for the championship. Twenty-five very active members with sore muscles, bruises, and originality participated on the gymnastics team. Each member learned stunts and routines on the different apparatus. Mrs. Toni Molck formed the team last year because of the large amount of talent and ability that many students showed in gym class. In the spring, they presented a program to the public using the tumbling mats, spring board, vaulting box, and the newly added trampoline and parallel bars. Gymnastic team members watch Debbie Albers and Charlie Owens perform. The newly organized team presented this program to the public during the spring of 1971. 28

Freshmen Pat Graham, Kippy Hoover, and Mary Meuser string lights in the hallway. The freshmen won the Christmas Hall Decorating Contest sponsored by the Student Council. After Thanksgiving, anticipation of Christmas and vacation began to increase. The lobby was decorated in traditional yuletide fashion by the Student Council; the choruses and bands presented their annual Christmas concerts; and the movie Wait Until Dark was shown before school was dismissed for vacation. Most students enjoyed this spine-tingling thriller, those who didn't did enjoy throwing pennies and trying to eat Fritos without getting caught. Students lay in bed on cold winter mornings listening to WRTL and waiting for snow days that never came. The furnace broke down, and students went to class in coats and mittens, with false hopes of early dismissal. The blue slip, a method to check the attendence of late-comers to school, was introduced one Friday morning. The same morning, students voted for Illinois state tree. The basketball team ended the winter sport by placing second in the Regional Tournament. The ad- ministration granted Paxton's Community Sale Day as a short vacation for the students before spring vacation at Easter.
