The Tama-Toledo Tennis Team had a rather unsuccessful season this year (1965) due to the loss of their lettermen fron the previous year. Coach Osborn hopes the firls will be out in full force this next year, putting forth the effort and times needed to make a good, successfull team.  

The Tama-Toledo GRA was very active this year with softball, valleyball, adn basketball intermurals.  Lamb's team won the basketball championship over Weaver's team.  These two groups of girls were first and second in all intermural contests this year.  A GRA slumber party was held in February.  Twerp Week was successfull again this year.  At the end of the school year a Junior-Senior camp-out was held.
