Seniors claim Sno-days title The 1972 Sno-days blasted off with a streak of enthusiastic class competition. With the distribution of a thousand pins to the classes, the race was on. As athletic competition began, students discarded land feet to show their skill as broom sweep- ing ice ball players. With fights and spats and a toss of a coin, the seniors swept their oppo- nents off their feet to take first. The traditional Sno-days pep- fest began with a new look in spirit modeled by noisemakers, confetti, megaphones, pom pons, and screeching, raspy- voiced students. The teachers rated the seniors the most spirited class. The juniors upset the seniors' winning streak by pulling to- boggans over treacherous ob- stacles and tripped into first place. The seniors recovered, roping in first in the tug-of-war. The Mount and Central united and danced to the tunes of Deerskin after the bubble- pushers' game on Feb. 12. Sno-days royalty from the past, Janna Samuelson and Dwight Lindquist adorn King Paul and Queen Ruth with symbolic crowns. Moments later Paul's crown burst apart to add a grand finale for the seniors' third year of fortune. , Upward bound Mike Davis is caught in an "ante-aye-over" position to drive a piercing spike as Dwight Lindquist readies himself for a dreaded netball. 65
