Powder Puff Permission slips ore handed out and practices begin for the annual Powder Puff clash between the senior and junior girls. Tackle foot- ball is voted on unanimously and spirited girls and coaches train hard for the big game. Bruised bodies limp around school during the next two weeks, and despite many injuries in practice, excite- ment grows as game time gets nearer. Friday finally arrives, and before the game, as the stadium fills, boy cheerleaders entertain the crowd while money is collected for the air conditioning fund, and senior roster sheets are handed out. The whistle blows and ten- sion builds as the game starts. A senior touchdown on the second play surprises the crowd, and the cheering gets louder as the gome progresses. A short first half ends with seniors leading 7-0. During the second half juniors get past a tough senior defense and tie the score 7-7. Fourth quarter is mass confusion with coaches, referees, and players fighting for the boll. Juniors are given the ball for a fourth or fifth down. As seniors ore close to a second touch- down, time runs out and the score remains 7-7. 30
