5PDRT5 H5 H PR5TTimE This was a good year for rhe in- tramural program or South as many students were actively involved in the program. Using rhe physical education classes as a source from which to draw participants, Ms. Ann Reno set up a pro- gram which met the needs and interests of the many students, and many of the intramural activities dealt with sporting events that students could continue to participate in after they left high school. Bowling and ping pong were good in- door activities during rhe winter months, bur with the spring thaw, those students involved in inframurals rook to the sporrs of archery and tennis. A small group of girls even spenr their rime lear- ning and practicing the skills of gym- nastics. This program is one that allows any student to try a sport he or she has never participated in before or improve skills in a sport they hope to continue By: Daisy McMahon with in later life. Ms. Reno was extreme- ly pleased with the participation this year and she commented that seldom has she had a group that worked so hard or with so much determination. Even though those students in in- framurals just participated for the enjoy- ment of the sport, trophies were award- ed at the end of the year for excellence and for improvement in individual skills. 202 Scarboro Street 322-3162 Salutes 1983 Graduates 140

It seemed so easy and graceful when viewed from the stands, bur down on the track it was a different matter. When the girls lined up for the starting gun, few spectators imagined the pounding of the hearts or the straining of the muscles that the girls experienced as they tensed for the grueling task ahead of them. In only a few moments the race was over and all the months of hard work was behind the participants . . . only one could be the winner and all the others must look ahead to the next meet with the hope that the next rime will be the time for them. This year ' s Girls ' Track Team worked under the direction of Coach John Derr who took over the team for the first time this year. Since many of lost year ' s ream graduated in 1982, this was a building year for the girls and although the team was small, the girls gave enough in determination to make up for rheir lack of numbers. It was a year where the girls increased rheir skills and improved their times for next year. By: Tommy Smirh RND THE RACE 15 DN GIRLS ' TRACK TEAM 139
