ALMOST ANYTHING GOES The skies were blue, and the temperature was pleasantly in the 70 ' s on a windless October day. Students were excited; this was the perfect ending to fall fest weekend. Classes were cancelled and students were preparing for the 1987 Almost Anything Goes contest. Eleven teams were present for the competition. Class- mates, teachers, and admini- stration cheered on the side- lines. Each team competed in eight zany games. The first was the through the leg shuffle fol- lowed by the waddle-walk relay , the banana sharing relay , spoon on a string , the dizzy-izzy relay , the great chicken race and the balloon hug relay . Teams exhibited strategy and skill as they laughingly participated in the events. After all this exertion, stu- dents were tired; howevw, a huge mudpaddle was awaiting then. ItUa mud pa Mle was the site for the final game, the mud tug of war. Many unfor- tunate teams were pulled into the mud. While most people headed off to the Green for wa- termelon, a mud fight broke out between some teams and team- mates. The team that came out on top, and were still clean, were Ratz ' s Rats, consisting of James Ratzlaff, Karen Rice, Dalen Ziesch, Eric Holdeman, Vickie Hofer, Byron Riesen, Michelle Wicbe, and Jill Frie- sen. The Anything Goes com- petition is a traditional event at Fall Fest, anticipated by stu- dents eager to release the pent- up energy of the first month of school. Luckily, no one was in- ju red in the wild scramble of games, and the Bethel tradition of good clean fun continued into the second century. § Remember, Jan and Greg, cleanliness is next to godliness!
