South was paced by Steve Stageberg who won the district meet and placed eleventh in the state finale. Greatly improved over 1963 were Chuck Pietka, Guy Renfro, Dick Thorin and Bruce Dyer, who were counted upon to fill positions left by graduating seniors.

In the second meet of the season the harriers successfully defended their Willamette Invitational crown while Steve Stageberg won the individual championship. Lack of depth, however, was apparent as the Axemen placed third in the district meet at Cottage Grove and sixth in the state championship at Salein's Bush Park course.

Bill Gloss shools BOYS' INTRAMURALS just for Fun Opportunities for all interested boys to participate in athletics were provided through the intramural program sponsored by the Axemens Council. Satisfying student needs for physical activity, intra- murals extended beyond the program provided by PE classes. Boys not competing on school teams found personal challenge and fun by participating in volleyball and basketball. This year's response was the greatest ever with over 150 taking part. In volleyball, Ed Larsen's squad, consisting of Bill Miller, Al Tuttle, Fred Jennings, jim Burke and Randy Rubenstein, captured the championship of the eight-team league. Ninety students turned out to form two basketball leagues of seven teams each. After two months of tough play under modified rules, Pete Nilsen's team won the cham- pionship, his squad comprised of John Larsson, Fred Jennings, john Guske, Don Walster and Bill Miller. The council purchased a plaque on which the names of championship team members will be engraved. Due to the tremendous interest, the program will be continued next year.
