POWDERPUFF Proceeds from powderpuff tilt used for minature cannon Brisk October winds failed to stay six football teams practicing simultaneously after school. After several weeks of practice, the annual powderpuff melee was on. The two powderpuff teams clashed on the same night as the contest between the rival Key and Inter- act clubs. The junior varsity and varsity teams made the scene as coaches and court members. In the powderpuff clash, the junior-freshman team 28 jumped off to an early lead but the senior-sophomore team wasn’t to be daunted as they came storming back to win a hard-fought contest 21-31. In a tough defensive battle the Interact club main- tained its tradition by defeating the Key club 13-10. The Key and Interact clubs received a total profit from the game of $136.00. The clubs used the pro- ceeds to buy a miniature cannon for ball games. ABOVE: Powderpuff activities were highlighted by the crowning of the queen and “‘her’’ court during half-time. Court members from left to right are Ricky Johnson, Todd Dorsey, Charlie Hunni- cutt, David Hunnicutt, and Hubert Gibson.
