Powderpuff Play Seniors stage comeback —Student Life Ready? Ready! Set, hike! After practicing this drill about thirty times a night for a week and a half, every junior and senior girl playing Powderpuff Football had to be able to execute the center snap perfectly. The traditional rivalry began with the selling of jerseys by Key Club. Then practices be- gan. To liven up the junior practice on the Tuesday before the November 12th game, the senior cheerleaders decided to play a little prank. Using two fire extinguishers, they raided the practice and sprayed a few players. The administration's reaction was one of calm dis- approval; Mr. Loomis subtly voiced his opinion on Wednesday's morning an- nouncements. Before the game, the seniors met at Karen Peterson's house for a potluck, while the juniors met at Lora Isabell's. At 7:00, the seniors marched onto the field and began warming up opposite the juniors. The game began, and by the end of the first quarter, the juniors were leading, 8-0. The senior of- fense, headed by Gwen Hampton ran hard. By the end of the game, the scoreboard read 28-14, seniors. The ju- niors, led by Kelly Ford, set a new record for most points scored by the junior team. Senior Beth Popernack summed up the game by say- ing, The juniors put up a good fight, but I knew we would pull through in the end. BEHIND THE VISITOR’S BLEACHERS, the junior team huddles around their coaches for their last pep talk before kickoff. The juniors had four main coaches to help prepare them for the game. INJURED IN THE FIRST QUARTER of the game, junior Vicki Stratton had to view the rest of the game from the bench. Vicki tore the ligaments in her leg. ON THE SIDELINES, junior offensive coach Marty Gilan watches the line for any penalties. Only four coaches could enter the field with- out buying a ticket. BECAUSE OF THE SENIORS’ 20-8 lead over the juniors in the third quar- ter. a quick look at the score- board makes Marcia Rowden smile. The bandana around her head was a 'trademark’' of the senior girls.

—B Dettev Whatever Floats Your Boat The elated mood from the levy carried into homecoming week as spirit soared. When Bay High students were clad in pink panty hose, ripped T-shirts and painted faces, it could have only meant one thing—Spirit Week! As tradition held, each day had its own theme. Monday was pronounced T-shirt and sweat pants day. Senior Julie Funtik said, I think they should make this happen ev- ery Monday! I'm so comfy! Thursday was everyone's chance to go crazy and deck out in garbage bags and chains. Punk Day was a hit— everyone participated. Fresh- man Bob Bailey exclaimed, ”1 can't believe people actually wear these kinds of 'clothes'! The total participants in each grade were counted and awarded points. The frosh led, followed by the sophomores and juniors. The seniors hopes were shattered when barely anyone showed up at the rainy bonfire October 15th. The tro- phy was awarded to the fresh- man for the first time since 1972. Meanwhile, the committee was decorating the East gym for the dance, with a Carribean Cruise theme in mind. On Friday morning, the school voted and at 10:30 saw Laurie Wilder and Pete Zaremba become Bay's 52nd Homecoming couple. Senior Mary Slaman com- mented, Even though we lost the football game, the spirit that was generated all week long made up for it. I'll never forget this Homecoming. WITH VICTORY ON HIS MIND.
