Packing it in several students show their spirit by stuffing themselves to capacity For most students, ice cream was a treat to be eaten slowly, its taste and texture savored. But packing a pint in the least amount of time? Such is not the use intended for such a delicious food. But devouring the dessert in mass quantities was the purpose of the sec- ond annual ice cream eating contest. Once again, area high schools sent their teams of top gluttons to the local Baskin Robbins for this unusual competition. Led by team captain Tige Savage, the WSHS crew placed a respectable third. They weren ' t as good as last year ' s team, said Tige, but 1 was proud of the job they did Each contestant was given a bowl , a spoon, and ice cream in the flavor of their choice. When all was ready, the judge gave the command to begin. From there, it was everyone for himself-eating as much as possible as quickly, as possible. Afterwards, there were mixed emotions among many of the participants. Although headaches and upset stomachs were the norm, everyone left in good spirits, refreshed by the cool ice cream in the early fall heat. All in allj the second Annual Ice Cream Eating Contest continued a growing tradition that will hopefully become a long standing one at our school. — Troy SthneideK FOAMING AT THE MOUTH The .te cream eating contest nivulved qu lips.
