There is still snow on the downhill slopes. Modern snowmaking machines make even springtime skiing a reality. Urey Voyager club has seven ski trips scheduled to accomodate 130 members who are always looking for a new challenge. A same, progressive approach to skiing places students on runs that match their ability. Students learn that they do not become better skiers by skiing on runs that are far above their ability level. Instructors teach students how to fall. Bend! Lean! Plop! Then get up. Plant poles! Push! Then whoosh down the hill. Heart pounding! Trving to balance! Turning! Smash! On the ground again. A fall can be an educational experience. Riding lifts back up can be as much of a challenge as skiing for beginners. Grab the tow rope and you think its going to pull both arms off before you get to the top. Or sit on a chair lift and swing and sway to the top of the hill. Finally at the top, it seems like a 1-o-n-g way down. Individual personalities certainly become evident as students encounter their fears. For some it is full speed to the bottom only to remember that they forgot how to stop. Smash! Flying skis as they execute an unplanned crash landing. They learn the hard way——of hard knocks. It hurts so it had better listen to the instructor next time. Others listen intently to every word and learn from the mistakes and expertise of others. Skiing offers an opportunity to explore the limits of the body and mind — and it's fun . . . ask a Voyager. Knox Edges Lady Falcons 43-42 In Conference Game The Knox girls basketball team came from behind in the final quarter on Wednesday night to grab an exciting 43-42 victory over the John Glenn girls basketball team and finish their Northern State Conference record at 5-1. Knox is 14-3 overall this season. Glenn slipped to 5-9 with the loss and 2-3 in conference play with a make-up game remaining with LaVille after the sectional is completed. The game was tight all the way and Glenn led at every quarter stop except the final one. The one big thing in Glenn’s favor early in the game was the stopping of Knox’s Lon Rose, who had only two baskets through the first three quarters, but she "rose" to the occasion in the final stanza when the chips were on the table. Glenn led after one period 12-11 as Jennifer Price, Angie McKesson and Theresa Northam all had two baskets in the first quarter. The slim lead was held through the half, 22-21. In the third stanza, the slowest scoring quarter of the
contest, the Lady Falcons moved to a 32-28 lead, but were to see this disappear in the final quarter. Rose came on for Knox in the last eight minutes. She put in two baskets and six of seven from the line to take charge offensively. Glenn tried to hold on with Northam getting nine of her own, but the rest of the teams on the floor found Knox getting five and Glenn only one as the Redskins pulled it out for their important conference victory. Northam ended the night with 21 on seven baskets and seven of 14 from the foul line. Rose finished with 14 for the winners and had a big 12 point assistance from Kim Zachary. Glenn’s girls outshot the winners hitting 15 of 40 from the floor to Knox’s lb of 50, but a 12 of 26 at the line compared to Knox’s 11 of 17 made the difference. Knox outrebounded the Lady Falcons 30 to 24 in this game with Rupel and Osborn having 8 and 6 respectively for Glenn. McKesson and Northam had 8 and 5 assists respectively. Knox B-Team Wins The Knox B-Team won the preliminary game 30-20 over the Glenn reserves.

After a rather low scoring first period, the Lions had nine players split up 25 points in the second quarter to completely dominate the Falcons on the way to an easy victory. The win dropped the Falcons below the .500 mark as they suffered their third straight defeat and are now 7-8 for the season. The Lions bounced back from a couple of losses in a row to an 8-6 record. The Lions, a much bigger and certainly deeper team, really dominated the entire game although the first quarter remained fairly close, thanks to Glenn's five out of six free throws as the Falcons
trailed only 12-9 after one. Carey Jones, Tim Feldman and Ryan Mishler each had two first quarter baskets for the hosts while Roger Spier and Wes Pavey had six and three respectively for Glenn's total. The second quarter put any doubts to rest. With the deeper bench, coach Dean Foster ran his players in and out and in this quarter alone, nine different boys shared the scoring as the hosts romped to a 37-24 halftime lead. And it was only to get worse as the game wore on. By the end of three, Bremen led by 23 and the two teams battled even in the last period with much of Bremen’s time being handled by the reserves. The good balance of Bremen found Jones and Steve Ricketts each reaching double figures with 16 and 10 each. Ten of the 11 players dressed shared in the scoring for the Lion. Pavey and Spier led the Falcons with 15 and 12 while all eight of the boys used by coach Gordon Mosson hit the scoring column.
