Margie Martini Jones - Title IX
Times have changed for the better!! We have gone from intermurals for girls' athletics to my daughters being able to compete in sports with some equal support with the boys. My youngest daughter, Barbara, was always being challenged by boys in swimming who did not know she was a competitive swimmer and she usually beat them! One great story in my family is about my sister Judi who graduated from Glacier High. She was a cheerleader there and later her daughter Marcy was a cheerleader at Kennedy High. Now her granddaughter is a junior and an athlete. She was asked if she wanted to be a cheerleader and carry on the dynasty and said "never". I say "hooray for Title IX
