PERSONIFICATION - King-sized Malcolm Hunter, as Lord Atlas, reigns over all at Mardi Gras, includ- ing his Lady-elect Debbie Chamness. DUTCH WINDMILL - Pam Morguson and Paulette Camden watch the spinning blades as Dave Caudle tries his luck at their booth, constructed by Judy Clark ' s Y-Teen group. iVorld ' sports Atlds Richmond High School attempted to catch the spirit of New Or- leans by moving the Y-Teen Mardi Gras to the springtime. Traditionally held in the fall, the spring 1974 Mardi Gras was an ex- periment in appealing to student in- terest. Hoping to increase at- tendance by scheduling the event at a less busy time of the year, RHS ' ers found that tradition still holds true with most and attend- ance was sparse. Lord and Lady Atlas, Malcolm Hunter and Debbie Chamness reigned over Round the World in Eighty Days as 26 booths each represented a different country they chose to sponsor. Games and prizes for each booth were to orginate or relate to each particular country represented. 26 Mardi Gras

Time enough for fun and goldfish stepping into the colorful and action-packed Time Machine were about 1600 Richmondites as Y- Teens sponsored the annual Mardi Gras. The event took place during the fall season again after last year ' s try with a spring date. Twenty-three booths represented as many clubs. The Gold Nugget was awarded the best all-around Y-Teen booth. Lynn Zaieski was chairman of the group. Spanish Club captured the prettiest prize with its sailing vessel and background. Serving as Mardi Gras chairman was Dawn Otto, assisted by Julie Humphrey and Cheryel Pruse. As fun and games reached a peak, those present watched John Trammell and Annette Phenis being crowned as king and queen. Attention was then focused on a goldfish-eating contest given by Julie Deleo ' s Y-Teen booth. Three contenders finished in a tie for top prize, each having eaten 23 fish. Julie ' s supply of the shimmer- ing morsels was totally depleted. 28 Fall Mardi Gras
