My school is known for the intramural traditions of Oozeball and the Bed Races that all lead to our big Homecoming Bash and Parade. Oozeball is the best to play in the summer because its really hot outside and what better way to cool down than to play volleyball in the mud. Our other tradition is the Bed Races which basically states what we do. Since we don't have a football team, we have a team of five people, race a bed down the football field.
