No
sooner have the boys gotten underway in basketball
and volleyball than they change places. This
week the fellows in basketball will go to volleyball
and vice versa.
The
boys were just beginning to get the hang of
the games. The basketball enthusiasts were finally
beginning to function and get the range of the
basket. And the volleyball teams were learning
how to handle the ball in the wind.
In
about five weeks, we will change again and move
into football, soccer, or track. By the end
of the year we will all have more comprehension
and experience in all the major sports.

ON THE SIDELINES
|
|
CHIP
SCHRAM WAS SEEN SPORTING A wide brimmed cowboy
hat at the Howard game. He also wore a false
face. Did you go trick or treating too, Chip?
|
|
|
|
Everybody
thought the cheerleaders idea of having the
team enter through a Glenridge hoop might
clever. Linda Schmidt made the hoop.
|
|
|
|
Which
blond almost fell off the stand when Number
One broke through the hoop? Too bad she has
so much competition!
|
|
|
|
The
big heart break of the game was missing the
first down by six inches in the third quarter.

It's
always nice to report compliments received
about our student behavior and school spirit.
When the compliment comes from one of our
rivals -- it really makes us feel good. It
was a Lee student who said -- we might have
lost the game to Howard, but we always win
in school spirit. We might add Lee has a fine
reputation for spirit and sportsmanship, too.

Plaid
Day was a huge success. The plaids were varied,
to be sure, but just about everyone was wearing
one. We ought to do that more often.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes
the little folks who come to our games can
be a nuisance, but when we hear fourth and
fifth graders talking about "Our Team
-- the Lions", our hearts can't help
but glow. It's a good school when students
look forward to getting here for years.
