X between the lines Each homeroom had a different Team Psyche One of the primary reasons for the success of intramural football this year was the strategizing employed by different teams. Just as in professional football, each team had its own style. Pure brute force was the calling card of Webb ' s Warriors. Mattingly ' s mighty Mashers called on powerful talk to psyche out their opponents. Likewise, McMenamin ' s Monks made excessive use of the PA system to verbally taunt their opposition into submission. Sister ' s Savages relied heavily on game films while Kober ' s Keg Killers wrapped themselves in a shroud of mystery to surprise their way to victory. And who could ever forget the Worm Dance that propelled Szymanski ' s Worms to victory? As the year ended, one could only hope that next year ' s competition is as fierce. If this year can be used as a measurement for intramural football ' s future at SFS, one can expect exciting competition and more sophisticated training styles than ever before, n — Ed Stelnicki CKEYS v reatively designed homeroom logos added flavor to the intramural competition. Two of the most original logos dealt with Mr. Stucker ' s sophomores and Mr. Habit ' s juniors. Photos by J. Pierce. Intramurals 25

When good friends meet it proves to be Competition of the Best Kind Competitive sports, to the students at St. Francis, are a vital part of high school life. But not all students participate in varsity sports. And that ' s where intramural sports come in. Intramurals match homeroom against homeroom in a number of activities, ranging from football to bowling to basketball. The student is given the opportunity to compete without the pressure of the keeping the honor of the school up. Intramurals have a long tradition of promo- ting healthy competition among friends and fostering class spirit. This spirit was taken to new heights this year with the introduction of home- room names instead of numbers. These crazy names, ranging from Kober ' s Keg Killers to McCartney ' s Manglers, added a sense of pride and enthusiasm to a team. They were also known to strike fear into the hearts of the opponents. The competition is fierce, even among friends. You can have some kill-blood-maim football games, and some good basketball games, claims Doc Murad, Intra- mural Director. Doc went on to say the games are almost always a lot of fun and will be remem- bered in future years as a good time. Students participate in intramurals for a number of reasons. The chance to compete among friends, says senior Gene Gebolys, is one reason I like intramur- als. Gene was a members of Fran ' s Fighters. Others, like Matt Claus ' 82 of Kober ' s Keg Killers, claim intramurals are good because it ' s a chance to compete in a sport I usually wouldn ' t play with people I usually wouldn ' t compete against. Whatever the reason, intramurals turned out to be a good time among friends. D — Ron Peeps L ropping back to pass, Kevin Johnson enjoys the protection of a strong ofensive line. Photo by J.

Promoting spirit its own way, SFS has A Band For Every Occasion The promotion of school spirit. An awesome responsibility. The work started in August for the Marching Band with four hour practices under the burning sun. The marching Knights spent that summer time preparing for their upcoming half-time performances. But the practices didn ' t let up when the school year began. At the 2:40 bell, the band trudged out onto the CYO fields four days a week, perfecting routines meant to dazzle the crowds. After marching season, referred to as football season by those not associated with the band, the Pep Band and Dance Band started rehearsals. The usual (continued on page 28) L iftins spirits and generating enthusiasm, the Pep Band fills The Pit with music as Bob Zirker ' 82 and his brother Jeff ' 83 put their saxophones to work in leading the group.
