Cross country sport of endurance Cross country season featured three home meets this year. On the home field, the harr- iers ran a two-and-two tenths mile course which took them from the parking lot, across the baseball fields, across the track, up over the hill behind the football stadium, around the baseball fields again and back to the start. Team receives final instruction and gets ready to race. 19 Coach Hug gives details of race to both teams.

Donkey basketball A hilarious first for Sandy happened when the Future Farmers of America chal- lenged the Dads' Club to play basketball while mounted on donkeys. The boys who sold the most tickets to the event were allowed to play. The Dads' Club was help- ed by some faculty and staff members. Each donkey was equipped with leather shoes that would not harm the gym floor. At times during the game, the animals became quite stubborn and refused to bud- ge which added to the already almost in- surmountable problem of playing ball while riding donkeys. Although the adults tried valiently, the students defeated them, 16-14, with the final basket being made only seconds before the clock ran out. The game was a success for the FFA. Their profit was more than $150. Upper right: Mr. Jim Kitchen urges his trusty mount down court. Lower left: Donkey basketball stars await their curtain call.
