HG What did you do if you were interested in sports not provided by the school system? Many students struck out on their own or in groups to find their niche in the world of athletics. One of the most popular out of school sports was rodeoing. Students of all ages and sex could be found trying their hand at bull riding, calf roping, or barrel racing. Most of the students were sponsored by the Wylie Rodeo Club, a private club created by in- terested parents. In addition to those who chose to try to rope or ride a wild horse, some found training and showing horses to be a fulfilling job. Back on the traditional sports level, several students showed their athletic prowess by playing soc' cer for nearby teams.
