Fast-paced action sparked the annual Faculty-Staff vs. Student basketball
game several weeks ago. The photo above depicts some of the fast court ac

scorekeeper to tie the students. The game was sponsored by the campus’ Day
Student Organization. The group pictured below is the faculty-staff
cheerleaders. From left, Esther Whitaker, fietty Batchelor, “Head
Cheerleader” Doug Eubank, and Rowland Pruette.
