Fast, Furious Fun The competition was in- tense; the atmosphere electric as representatives from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes, Vocational School and faculty battled for number one in a wacky competitive events in an “Almost Anything Goes” frenzy, by the Student Council as Boone County’s coun- terpart to the Olympics. The first event was the obstacle course. This wild spectacle con- sisted of: sinking a foulshot, whirl- ing a hula-hoop, bobbing for ap- ples, manuvering through tires, diving under chairs and popping a balloon, with anything but the hands. The seniors were able to take an early lead with the fastest time. The next competition was the three-legged sack race. It was an amusing sight as couples hobbled across the gym floor, joined at the leg by a canvas sack. The sopho- mores made ground by finishing first. Then the flipper relay was one of the most dramatic events of the competitions. As the contestants ran up and down the gym with rubber flippers on their feet, the juniors flipped their way into vic- tory. Things began to get messy as the contestants geared up for the pie-eating contest. Rules for table etiquette were disregarded, when five faces were hurried in choco- late pies. The juniors won as Wes Reynolds finished first. As the teams prepared for the final event, the tug-of-war, ten- sion built. The faculty was strong- ly favored before the event, but were dramatically upset, as the seniors took first place in the tug- of-war and the overall champion- ships. 28 Anything Goes

Spring Comes Early r ■ 1 ven Mother Nature J agreed that Boone Coun- ty High School needed a break from winter; she set the mood for the Hawaiian Dance. For weeks the snow was piled knee deep, and the temperature hovered below zero. However, the weather be- gan to clear up; temperatures reached the seventies; and the Hawaiian Dance seemed to be in season once again. With the weather as a perfect backdrop, the students enjoyed a warm fun-filled evening. The dance was Hawaiian down to the last detail with leis, pineapples, and palm trees. The students danced the night away to beach party music. Student Council spent many hours in preparation for the tradi- tional dance. First, they decided to create an atmosphere that re- minded the students of Hawaii. Greeted at the door by a Student Council member bearing a lei, it was apparant that this task had been well accomplished. The stu- dents added their own spark by showing up in colorful beach wear to celebrate the winter reprieve. The dance was a breath of fresh air and the cooperation from Mother Nature made the Hawai- ian Dance a big success. As the dance ended, the students left with the hope that, the warm weather, unlike the dance, would never end. 30 Howaiian Dance
