Hicnmcrns or nn me v v As we entered the auditorium last September on the first day of school, we rather regretted leaving behind us those lazy summer days of vacation with the swimming, fishing, picnics, trips, etc. But at the same time we were quite eager to meet new friends, renew acquaintances and take part in the mary school activities that would be offered during the year. . As usual one of the firstaactivities of the school year was the sale of activity tickets. For one dollar the purchaser was admitted to all school events suchoas dances, athletic events, etc. 'Ihis also included the monthly issues of Who's who, our school paper. About five hundred and fifty activity tickets were sold. ' Boy's Sports ' THCKTIL' FOOTBALL. 'Ihe tackle football program was changed this year, giving more boys an opportunity to participate. The season was divided into two six-week periods. During each period the squads were divided into two teams the Blue and the Gold , playing a night gameunder the lights. Both of these squads were coached through the entire season by Hr. Ogles by. The W. K. boys really put forth much effort to make the season a successful one.

Higalights of the Year Kllontinuedj The seventh and eighth grade had a good squad too. They didn't come through with a winning record, but many of their games were fairly close. The regular squad consisted of Scott Orr, Brent Willson, Doug Sackett, Leroy Tisdell, Ivan Ranger, Brick Storslee and Dick Osborne. SWIMMING. Llthough the swimming team took third place in the All-City swimming meet, we are exceptionally proud of them. It was a very close scoring event all the way and we lost out by a small margin. W. K. took eight first places to top both Southeastern and Southwestern, but bowed out in the relays. Southeastern was first with 113, Southwestern was second with 109, and W. K. third with 105. The swimming team was coached by Mr. Vydareny. Some outstanding swimmers of the team wercg Gordon Hjortaas, Alec Borden, Bill Clawson, Mickey Franklin, Bob Morris, Mike Reed, George Manusos, and our diver, Ron Roberts. INTRAMURAL. The intramural program, coached by Mr. Vydareny and Mr. Stone after school , and Mr. Blackburn, at noon, was very successful. The boys participated in a variety of sports, such as touch football, basketball, volleyball and softball. Awards were given to all boys that took part in the program, based on the point system. Those with one hundred to two hundred twenty five points received a felt letter, two hundred twenty five to three hundred fifty points, a chenille letter, and three hun- dred fifty points or more , a gold pin, which is the highest award. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. This year has been a busy one for girls who participated in the GAA activities. First on the 5 agenda was volleyball. There was a ninth grade team and a seventh and eighth grade team combined. 'Ihe Playday was- held in W.K.'s gymnasium and many girls from the junior high schools took part. Basketball came later in the season and again teams were chosen to represent W. K. The girls went over to Southeastern for their Playday and had loads of fun with the other girls. In the spring time softball and swimming dominated the scene for the girls' sports. All of the sports taught girls fair Continued on Page 17 16
