The Bulldog Auburn High School Auburn, Nebraska Faculty division Student Fife Sports division Student division CONTENTS Rulebook for the 1980 game The idea of the game — Overcome all obstacles, and successfully advance yourself through the school year to the square labeled May 23, 1980. Downlists and report cards may induce temporary discouragement: however, A pins and honor roll status signal success. Equipment — Players should be equipped with textbooks, pencils, and notebooks. In addition, it is advisable that all players carry this game board and rule book with them in case memory decides to play the role of the elusive opponent. Preparations — Without preparation, players move from event to event, box to box with sluggish determination, only to find that they are half a game board behind their opponents. To avoid this dilemma, read rules, instructions, and schedules. To start the game — While adhering to the rules, gather all needed equipment and place your token on the square labeled August 24. 1979. When the clock reads 8:20 A.M., a buzzer will sound.
