borne egg in the egg-relay, I took refuge on the goal post and rooted for each class in turn. The pyramids were unbelievable! How can that many people scramble atop so many other people in so short a time? The go-cart grand prix was fun to watch, as around and around the locker rooms they went, switching driver with pusher at each lap. By the end of the week, the Seniors were ahead with more points than anyone else. All that remained to decide the score were the flower-decorated cars. All week I waited impatiently for Friday night — the coronation. When the time finally came, I was as excited as anyone else. It was disappointing at first, though, that the coronation was held inside Rogers Community Cen- ter, instead of at Lutheran High.

Homecoming Week was a real riot for me. Even though invisible to students, I was right in there. Sitting in the quad between classes, i ' d watch shepherds, bums, queens, kings, gangsters, flappers, bearded wisemen and angels in oxfords rush by. Then at lunch, I would pad out to the football field and watch the activities. Laughing when the Varsity football players were auctioned off as slaves, I watched many players carrying books r either the girl or freshman who had bought him. One day the girls couldn ' t talk to the boys for fear of losing boys their tags. On Depression Day, I observed the classes battle for the title of tug-o-war champion, and what a battle it was!

That brought back alot of memories To avoid being trampled in the balloon bust or yolked by an ai : 1. Splashing through a six foot puddle, juniors hurriedly sloshed to overtake the seniors. 2. Folding out paper petals, freshman girls work intently on flowers for their class car. 3. Bible Day inspired shepherds, prophets and Marys to concoct two thousand year old cost- umes. 4. When the tension became too much it was common to clasp hands to head and shut your eyes. 5. Yeech! A mud bath was the inevi- table result of the tug-o-war no matter how hard each team struggled. 6. Maneuvering as gracefully as possible with feet tied and egg in hand, Kathy Schlaht bounces ahead in the egg-relay. 7. Flashing smile s of anticipated victory, sophomore girls strained as they pulled seniors twice their size through the mud 8.Pyramid building im- proves with age— although juniors appear victorious, the seniors were triumphant. 9. Flexing a muscular arm. Bob Anderson goes on the auction block as Auctioneer Mike Jordan sells Varsity football players to the highest bidders.
