You can't play with a dirty ball “What a dirty trick!” The juniors could not have been more surprised when Martha Brown took oft down the field during the “Dirty Ball” play. At the start of the play, senior captain Kris Johnson said, Hey, this ball is dirty.” She then snapped the ball to Martha, who walked past the junior team towards the referees, to apparently show them the mud. When she was far enough away, Martha ran 94 yards for a touchdown. Events such as this marked the ninth annual powderpuff game, held November ninth. It was rushed with only five days to practice. The day of the game, the junior class had a potluck at the home of Pattie Rooney. The seniors, in all their rowdiness, journeyed to Macs where 25 extra Egg McMuffins were ordered and had to be thrown away. Everyone arrived at seven, full of enthusiasm. Varsity football players squeezed into cheerleader uniforms padded with a variety of round objects and led the crowd in several amusing cheers. The seniors won 52-0. The large difference in the scores was a result of the little practice time allotted the less experienced juniors. Stated senior Margo Gustafson, “It was the most hysterical experience I’ve ever had, and I’m sure none of us will ever forget it.” With the speed she acquired from run- ning track.

“Would everyone who took home Snowball decorations please return them. They are not ours, but have been borrowed. Thank you. This announcement was read during home- room the Monday after Snowball. It seems that the couples had such a good time that they wanted to take a part of it home. Breaking a long-time tradition, the annual girl-ask-boy dance was moved from mid-December to the beginning of January. Snowball Committee Chairperson Cindy Cash explained, “We took a poll and a majority of people said they’d rather have it after Christmas.” There was more to the dance than just dancing. The Snowball committee spent several weeks planning the dance, hiring a band, printing tickets, making refresh- ments, and decorating the gym. “We tried to disguise the gym as much as possible, explained Sonja Linke. The paper scenes covered just about everything but the basketball hoops. For the couples, the evening was a big success. Upon arriving, Mr. Dick Scott took up his usual post near the mistletoe to help get couples into the romantic mood. The band, Love Affair, played a variety of music ranging from Michael Stanley to the old favorite Stair- way to Heaven. Summing up the evening, Deedee Foster stated, “The Snowball com- mittee did an excellent job on the gym and the whole evening had an enjoyable atmosphere. Many dancers were sorry to see the evening end. Someone was so reluctant that they even walked off with the Christmas tree. Professional photos by Hal Briggs provide momentos of the evening for Laurie Mittag and Ed O'Neal. Mr. Briggs charged $5.50 for six photographs. 30 Student Life Slow songs provide a romantic interlude for Greg Waters and Barb Wolfe. High temperatures in the gym led many males to remove their coats during the dance. Early In the afternoon, Jeff Geuther stops at the home of Ms. Marianne Worley to pick up flowers. Ms. Worley advertises her service in the Bay Window before each formal dance.
