Showing heir Skill Individual sports offer chance to shine. F ootball, baseball, tennis and others may be the most common sports, but many Southside students prefer to occupy their time with other athletic activities. From dancing to racquetball, students have different reasons for their choice of individual sports. Greta Lomon, sophomore, looks on dancing as a great way to keep in shape. Jen Culp, junior, occupies her spare time riding horses. it's a lot of hard work, but when you win a competition it's all worth it. On top of that you have a good friend. Racquetball appeals to Kelly Glass, senior. it's such an active sport. Not only does it keep me in shape, but it's in- teresting too. Andy Smith, junior, enjoys baseball as a pastime activity. it's great, he commented. lt's one great way to meet people. No matter what the reasons, sports still play a part in many lives, from the slow to the quick, it's all for one main reason - to have fun. is . at U Q --0 Senior Rod Fondren is demonstrating his skills of karate.
