Well, at South you can enter into athletic competition through the intramural program and experience all the thrills of victory and the agonies of defeat. Under the direction of Mr. Jim Moyers, intramural ' s director, students may participate on an individual bases in various sports before or after school. Young men and young women are given an opportunity to compete in tournaments of ping-pong, bowling, and free-throw shooting. At the end of the year winners are named, trophies are presented, and often challenges are made. This year Assistant Principal Ross Barrett challenged the champion ping-pong player and Pepper Bego, leading free-throw shooter from the varsity basketball team, challenged the champion free-throw shooter. All in all intramurals was the perfect way to join in the excitement of competition. 1. Steve Hartley, Mr. James Moyers. 2. Darrin Johnson. 3. Darrin Johnson. 4. Steve Hartley. 5.

It should have been a good year for the girls in gold and blue but the road to victory was rocky. ...the first day on the new practice field was just the beginning of a season plagued with problems. The pitcher ' s mound was built on top of boulder size gravel and it didn ' t take long to realize that steady footing was going to be almost impossible. The baseline between second and third base was the location of an uncovered sprinkler and slides had to be taken out of the practice game. Then the rains came and among the mounting problems were muddy infields, swampy weed- covered outfields, and weather cancelled games. Add a few injuries to key players and the jinx became complete. It was almost as if the gods were playing against the Wild Kittens. They allowed the girls a feeling of friendship that offered a taste of victory but they placed the winning score just beyond their reach and gave the Wild Kittens a season that was truly rocky. 1.
