Floats needed to be built, cars decorated, and bizarre costumes dug out of the attic. Students showed their radical side on Punk Rock Day and their usual wear for family vacations on Tourist Day. That day was also memorable thanks to Coach l3arnett's asking his football team to play tourists also. an I 5 ttf 3 The senior girls practiced long and hard for the Powderpuff game against the junior class. Their defeat was a big disappointment, as it is tradi- tion for the seniors to win. Jennifer Riley gains yardage for the seniors in an impressive ot- tempt to beat the juniors ftop lefty. Crowding around the junior float, the winner of the float competion, students show their ex- citement for the junior class. Each year all three classes have afloat. Hard work and a lot of time is put into the floats: they were all beautiful flower leftj. This year's powderpuff game was extremely intense. The juniors' practices started six weeks before the actual game, but their hard work paid off in the end in an astonishing 12-5 victory over the seniors.
