There is life other than school Spare time revives All right! No homework, no jobs! Although these words might have rarely flowed from the mouths of SV students, when they did, they were accompanied by feelings of happiness. Even if leisurely activities like watch- ing TV, lis- tening to music, talk- ing on the phone, read- ing, and spending time with friends were favorites, many students opted for more dynamic in- terests. Recreational sports took up a big part of students free time. In this area, basketball was a favorite. Even those students who were not on a team liked to shoot around. Other popular athletic choices were tennis and swimming. For the out- doorsman, three-wheeling, horseback riding, and hunt- ing were preferred activities. Some pastimes had a more domestic flavor. Budding cooks liked to try their hand at different edible cre- ations, while some busied their cre- ative hands with a thread and needle. Those with an artistic flair spent their time work- ing on a variety of projects. No matter what students did, they valued their spare time and spent it involved with the activities that gave them the most pleasure.

Basketball Fever Hits S.V. Hoosier Hysteria Support for the Wildcat team peaked for the Sullivan vs. S.V. game and for sec- tionals. The game against Sullivan was designated WPFR-Pepsi Hoosier Hysteria night. Area schools, including S.V., par- ticipated in a contest spon- sored by WPFR radio station and Pepsi. Points were given for posters, ban- ners, Pepsi ap- parel, and at- tendance with the winning school receiving a free dance. Students from ele- mentary through high school levels designed post- ers to make the event a big success. South Vermillion earned 33,850 points and was beaten by only one school, North Central. High school basketball tournaments arrived in March. Since the S.V. game was on Wednesday, section- al week was shortened with Monday being Beach- comber day, Pajama day on Tuesday, and Wednesday, traditional Black and Gold day. South Ver- million drew Terre Haute North in the first round at Hulman Cen- ter. The Wildcat team played hard, but was beaten 86-54, to bring an end to another winning season.
