ORTSMANSHIP
"Sportsmanship is playing hard to
win in a game but losing well if you have
to lose. Good sportsmanship involves
such matters as fair play, keen rivalry
but careful observance of rules, courtesy,
and a generous attitude toward an opponent.
Sports:
1. Demand a combination of physical
strength, an alert mind, enthusiasm,
purpose and team work.
2. The body has to be trained and the
person must apply himself to become skill
ful.
3. Is associated with physical well
being and vigor.
4. Is associated with mental relaxa
tion in forgetting one's worries and
cares.
Friendships are formed through sports
because the ability of people to get along
with each other receives one of its great
est tests in sports. Finer qualities of
the human spirit are brought out and de
veloped through games. Included are lead
ership and the ability to give and take.
The code of Sportsmanship has 8 points:
1. Keep the rules
2. Keep faith with your comrade
3. Keep yaur temper
4. Keep yourself fit
5. Keep a stout heart in defeat
6. Keep your pride under in victory
7. Keep a sound soul, a clean mind,
and a healthy body
8. Play the game."
The Copper River area has come out
in full force in participating in the
sport of basketball. The area has 5
^ basketball teams; the Glennallen School
(Hornets), the Copper Valley School
(Bucks), the Copper Valley School Faculty,
the A.C.S. Team, and the Alaska Native

On the week-end of the 9th and 10th
of November, the Bucks from the Copper
Valley School came up to the Glennallen
School and played on Friday night. The
Cheerleaders and the Copper Valley School
came up in full force, all the local
area people too (you never realize how
many people there are in the area until
, you attend some function where everyone
I turns out) - it was wonderful. And both
sets of cheerleaders -they were all
tremendous - it is a show pn itself in
watching the cheerleaders.and the re
sponse they get from the crowd. That
same night, , the A.C.S. team and the Copper '
Valley School Faculty played a close ex
citing game. On Saturday night, the
games were played in the Copper Valley
School Gym. The Glennallen and Copper
Center area groups all came down to the
Gopper Valley School to boost their
teams. Two games were played.. It was
another exciting night. After the games,
Sister Ida and her staff served refresh
ments to all in the cafeteria - delicious
chocolatecake with fluffy w. Jo' using j
and punch. The cafeteria Was 'decorated
