Assembled once again, classes battle for victories The four separate classes congregated once again in the gymnasium on Friday afternoon with sly schemes for rival classes burning in their brains. The contending class strove for the finish lines throughout the afternoon in contests like gunnysack racing, football pushing, marshmellow eating and rope jumping. The super seniors” ended up running away with nine of the thirteen first places, and they chowed their way to a victory in all three of the edible contests. Senior Jim Sobel made history during the assembly by consuming more than his share of Big Mac’s as he chomped his way to his fourth Homecoming Big Mac eating victory. Like in the previous two years, the student body advanced their spirit by raising almost $1,400 in three short days for the United Fund Drive. The seniors brought in $516.45 with the juniors not very far behind with $408.66: the sophomores contributed $327.88 and the freshmen brought in $141.22. 1 8 ' Homecoming

The Mighty Redskins remained unbeaten as they walked over the Coldwater Cardinals 22-14, with help from their Electric Fence.” During the game, the seniors were announced as the winning class for the Homecoming Week celebration with 139 points, the juniors grabbed second with 112 points, the sophomores found themselves third with 102 points and the freshmen rested at fourth with 70 points.
