Twirp 2 Student Life Week tThe Woman ls the Re- sponsible Partyl provided stu- dents with a unique opportunity! to understand what the other sex goes through. For women, it meant the re- sponsibility of asking guys out for a date and playing football in the junior-senior Powder Puff game. For the men who volun- teered as Debs and cheer- leaders, it meant makeup and skirts and learning cheers. As with other special events, organizations turned out to mix business with pleasure.

A few cheers later, Bobby turned around and accidently hit me. Then Ronnie Darr tried to do a jump and kicked me inthe side. I learned more about self-defense than anything else during that week. Friday morning brought stu- dents to school dressed for roles they were to play that night. The female football players arrived in jerseys while fellows who were cheerleaders and Debs dressed in skirts. Aside from the smirks and cat- calls of their friends, the guys lcontinued on page 25l
