f” requent interceptions, such as this one by Bill Brown, are characteristic of every senior football game. Competitive Intramurals Strengthen Homeroom Unity clober rolled in and with it came intramural football. Only the most spirited junior and senior homerooms dared to brave the hurrican winds of Lake Erie, the journey to Edgewater Park, and the $2.50 entrance fee. Those homerooms which survived pitted speedsters against speedsters, musclemen against musclemen, and cheaters against cheaters. Related to the art of cheating, intramural bowling enjoyed another flamboyant season at the plush Kri .sak’s Lanes. All four years got in the knee-slapping excitement as the oohs” and aahs” of intramural bowling filled each kegler with glee. Winter came, football went, ami intramural basketball commenced. Unlike intramural football, all four years could participate in the program. The after school competition produced homeroom unities, good sportsmanship, and pungent aromas in the locker room. 24 IGNAflAN 1 72

c V. old weather and the relief that school is out inspires this Ignatian to make a spirited run for his bus. A few drifting snowflakes perched upon the edifice, only to disappear. The howling wind nimbly dodged between the buildings. just enough to cause him to stir. He gazed intently at the moon, then looked down and thought. He contently reflected on past memories and events yet to come. He swelled with pride when he thought of hundreds of cans. Cans brought in by students for only the love of their neighbors and the pride of their classes. No prizes. No gimmicks. He laughed when he remembered the faces of the students just a few hours earlier. He vividly recalled the celebrating, the joy. and the relief of a student body leaving for Christmas vacation. He saw them dancing, smiling, gazing at the December 17th snow. He anticipated the sheer ecstacv of a sixteen day recouperation period. This sudden rush of joy quieted down and he pondered the future. He could see the basketball team heading for a great season, the J.V.'s. the talent of the wrestlers, and the expectations of the track team. He had remarkable faith in the students. It was winter, but by spring he felt they would side their differences and become one body. He dreamed of the future greatness. These were his wintery thoughts. As a final snowflake fell on St. Ignatius' head, he seeped back into the walls of his school, still pondering winter. A common sight at Ignatius during winter class changes is a thinly clad underclassman desperately dashing to his next period class. 26 ICNAIIXN 1972
