l. HOWIE 2. TRACK PRACTICE 3. STRIKEI Aftizfcd Sports are, and always will be, one of the main contributors to school morale and to school spirit. Sports give us another incentive to attend school and to participate in school activitiesg they attord a release from the tension of a hard day at school and open an outlet for our extra energy. Most of all, they teach us team spirit and the art of co-operation, with- out which, nothing can succeed. Page Sixty With our new athletic field speeding to completion, the outlook of sports at Z-B should be an excellent one. Night games will be popularized by our new lighting system, which is one of the best in the state. This will provide an opportunity for Zion-Benton residents to enjoy our athletic program even more than in the past.
