Team sports represented were hockey, volleyball, basketball, and softball. Tennis, archery, tumbling and golfing were favorite individual activities. Co-recreation featured bowling, fencing, and badminton. Tournaments and playdays provided competition and fun for all. Season's in Dance', an original program of interpretive modern dancing, climaxed the season's activities for Orchesis. Appropriate choreography and costumes depicted the mood.
