Kailyn Sprinkle twinkles as she joyfully hugs the pigskin for a 6-0 victory. The camera was quick, but not quick enough, as Jane Bowman hurtles down the field. Hopefully, after each play, every gal will get up laughing like Sid Carter. 23

Powderpuff Football SENIORS OBTAIN Rainy weather and a soggy field could hardly dampen the raging spirit of the ’68 powder-puffers. After sacri¬ ficing many beautiful Sunday afternoons to diligent practice, both Juniors and Seniors were eager to dis¬ play their football skills. REVENGE BY WHIPPING THE JUNIORS 6-0 Oakey’s Field was filled with spectators Sunday, No¬ vember 17, when these teams clashed. The Juniors won the toss and chose to receive the ball. Junior fire¬ ball, Mary Etta Halstead, struggled for several yards of gain. Soon after, the Seniors had the ball but failed to score. Junior fans were going wild in the second quarter when Halstead flashed across the goal line only to be called back due to offside penalties. Half¬ time found a scoreless and not soreless game. Desperate coaches tried to mend tattered and bruised spirits while the powder-puffers needed only water to be rejuvenated. In the third quarter, determined 69’ers savagely plodded toward the end zone, but failed to reach it. Again the Juniors crossed the goal line but were called back due to a penalty. With twelve minutes left to play, it seemed that the game would end in a 0-0 deadlock. Both coaches and spectators nervously paced up and down the side¬ lines as ten of those twelve minutes ticked away. With only one yard to go, Senior Kailyn Sprinkle scored the only touchdown of the day. Senior fans were drunk with happiness and happily staggered away with a 6-0 victory, the second Senior victory in history. Muddy, discouraged Juniors gave a sportsman-like cheer for the Seniors as the victors triumphantly headed for Lendy’s. Senior Spartan Penny Stallings, makes a savage attempt to down Ann Hatcher. Muddy Juniors pave the way for another sprint by Mary Etta Halstead. 5 p f II v ■M - 22

Senior Talent Show HAPPINESS IS...THOUGHTS OF 69 Early in December preparations were being made for the annual Senior Talent Show which was entitled “Happiness Is .. Progress was slow; but, steadily it improved until Bev Mo¬ ran, Senior class President, discovered a mis- Bonnie and Clyde, i 4.1 i. i • , mi alias Linda Morris hap that proved to be near disaster. Ihe open- anc j Andy East, dis¬ ing song, Apple Cider, had to be scrapped due Pjay their talents as to the untimely disappearance of the PRE- monies! MIER’s band equipment. Amidst all the con¬ fusion however, the 69ers once again pulled through with flying colors. Various acts created an atmosphere of fun and good times, such as the “Body”, a comedy de¬ scribing the reaction to a harmless kiss, a Phil¬ ippine folk dance named “Binansuan”, presented by our foreign exchange student, Cely Abril, and many others that added spice to the lives of all the students. Presented to the upperclassmen and a few sneaky freshmen on gain time, the mighty Seniors displayed the hilarious(P) talent of 1969. The Seniors reminisce those earlier years as Cheri Burton, Becky Waters, Cindy Eubanks, Mary Jo Sherrard and Karen Helstrome sing an original version of “That’s What Happi¬ ness Is . . .”. 24
