Pumpin' iron becomes daily routine Three years ago there was only one weight machine that sat unused, but in '79 when coach Chuck Chevalier arrived a new weight program was started. Today muscles are pumping on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on 10 new lifting benches and apparatuses. The first year averaged about five - seven kids a day. The next year the average was boosted to 18 - 23 kids a day. This year there was about 25 - 30 kids lifting thanks to the new program and the 34,500 equipment. There were three clubs you could be in that dealt with weight lifting. They were the 600 lb., 800 lb., and 1,000 lb. clubs. T-shirts were awarded to the hardworking members according to how much weight they could lift. Coach Chevalier was aided by Mr. Roger Uecker who supervised the lifters after school, This program helped school spirit as well as the sports performances. by Tommy Toms 78 Weight Training PS
