Underclassmen buy j Saniors to he thair SLAVES Fon A DAY What do I hear for this Senior? Do I hear one-dollar? Seniors stood on desks, one at a time, as under-classmen gathered around three and four deep to bid for one day's control of a senior. The money was raised for Stu- dent Council. Bids were anywhere from one dollar to twenty-one dollars or more. The auction went on for two hours, and many seniors were sold and a lot of money was raised. The next day was the actual Slave Day. Seniors who were sold as slaves were permitted to leave class five minutes early in order to meet their master at their classroom, and go to class five minutes late. Things that the under-classmen had their slaves do ranged from just carrying their books to class for them to carrying them to class. No senior was total y abused and they said it was fun and a great way to raise money. Senior Slave Day just might be back next year and the years to come. Auctioned slaves accept their certificate of slavery. T A good crowd turned out for the Senior Slave Auction. Many of them with S20 or more dollars in their pocket, ready to bid. 32 SLAVE DAY l 'Y Seniors waiting to be auctioned off stayed together next to the auction table. Being auctioned also means having take the jokes and fun that auctioneel Tim McCallan makes, as Senior Todd Davis found out.

HAT IT'S ALL B0 This year, Powder Puff took place on Saturday, March 2, with a competitive battle between the Sophomore and Senior classes. The Seniors won both the game and the entire competi- tion with an overall score of 1716 to the Sophomores' 716. The competition begins with preliminary playoff games on dates prior to that of the big game between the 9th, 10th, and 11th grade classes. The winner of that tournament then goes on to play the Seniors in Powder Puff. The class of 1987 won this tour- nament for the second year in a row. Both teams then choose themes, which are worth 3 points in the competition, for the ultimate game. The Seniors chose Seniors Take a Bite Out of Crime and the Sophomores chose Sophomores Through the Holidays. One member of each class is chosen to design a cover for the program. Lorna Libert did the Seniors' and won 2 points in the competition for the Senior class. Another part of the competition is ticket sales, worth 2 points. Whichever class sells the most tickets by a certain time wins this aspect of the competition. The Seniors also won this. Other parts of the competition include: costumes, worth 3 points, decorations, worth 5 points, sportsmanship, worth 2 points, cheers, worth 3 points, and the game, worth 5 points. The entire competition was very close. If the Sophomores had won the game, Powder Puff would have been a tie. The Girls Athletic Council has sponsored this event for the past 26 years. The money raised goes toward summer camp for the school's athletes. Dr. Wilcox has run Powder Puff. Thanks to her, Powder Puff has been one of the most fun, exciting, and successful occasions of the school year. gyms.-1 ...al Senior Chris Iohnston describes one of the cases in one of the seniors' cour- troom skits.
