T-Birds Show Good Participation in Intramural Program Offering a year round sequence of athletic events for all Wasson boys, the intramural program of Wasson's athletic department attracted some 350 participants. In- tramural sports began in the fall with handball and gymnastics, progressed to basketball and wrestling in the winter, and wound up the year with softball and water polo. The competition within these sports was characterized by strenuous team and individual efforts, which led toward keen competition and much fun. Gymnastics and handball, two of the many new addi- tions to the list of intramural sports, gave Thunderbirds a chance to show their coordination and agility while sports like wrestling enabled onels strength to be shown. The team sports, basketball, softball, and water polo, proved once again to be the most popular of all the intramural sports offered. Some 250 boys turned out for these sports. The coaching staff provided new and interesting sports this year along with maintaining its traditional ones, the ultimate goal being to interest every boy attend- ing Wasson. T-BIRD ATHLETES FIGHT for the ball in their attempt to gain first place in the basketball intramural league. Y fi , ' qfftvav-U :::'.. .2'.S33'v53 it

State Meet . . lst lst 2nd 1st 5th T-Bircl Golfers Compete ln New Regional League Coach Bert Hoffmeister's golf team started its prac- tices at the beginning of the school year. The team held practices at the Patty Jewett Golf Course, with the sopho- mores playing in the morning and the juniors and seniors after school. These players put in many long hours of hard work, striving toward a conference and possibly a state championship. Along with their tight conference schedules, the coaches of many of the schools in Colorado Springs or- ganized a city league. This consisted of competition be- tween all the city golf teams on three of the excellent golf courses within the city. This will be continued as a regular competitive event in future years. This year's team has many returning players from last year's team. Two of these, Greg Johnson and Roger Pagels, were elected as the co-captains for the team. Roger Pagels was also the only returning letterman. This year Mr. Hoffmeister hopes to letter at least five eligible boys, if not more. 1964 SCHEDULE Trinidad . . . .
