Complications Decrease Girls' Volleyball ction In the second year of defense of its state volley- ball title, the Provine Volleyers met arch-rivals Wingfield, Central, and Murrah. Since qualified referees were in short supply, the number of actual games was considerably reduced in 1968. The Safety Council sponsored a boys' basketball tournament in December, stimulating class rivalry and school spirit. The team representing the senior class edged out the junior team for the champion- ship after the juniors had powdered the sopho- mores, hopes by a twelve-point margin. During February a powder-puff basketball tour- nament was held, pitting a team from the sppho- more class against a junior squad. The winner met the senior girls on February 19 for the school cage championship. In the spring, tournaments were held in softball and badminton, featuring competition between gym classes. A weight lifting competition wound up a year of diverse intramural contests. In an early morning session Provine Volleyers get in valuable practice for their upcoming games with city rivals. Brenda Shows tips over a backspike in the match with Wingfield while teammates Pam Lowery and Susie Farris look on.
