Derby Day — Exciting Competition Guys from Taylor show their enthusiasm for a win in the Derby Day competition. Saturday, August 29, 1982, brought out the child in each of us. A play day, new people day, a competative day — all of these combined were part of Derby Day. Beginning with an outdoor picnic there were many exciting events such as the three-legged race, watermelon-eating contest, egg toss, and the ever popular Izzy Dizzy Relay. The winners for the gals in this stiff competition were East Beam with East Jones a close second. The guys were led by West Beam and Green captured second place. The fun, laughs shared, and new friendships made during Derby Day were a great start for a new school year. John King, Jim Deason, and Cindy Rhodes enjoy the picnic before Derby Day events.
