PEEP SHOW Drew Record Crowd Each year at Byrd the students have fun watching iheir friends get water-logged in the dunking booth, skin their legs trying to climb the greased pole, and try other games around the Carnival. The Drum Corps supervised the booths, with help from the Junior and Senior Pep Squad. The Peep Show skit, written by Barbara Ewing, Patti Mullenix, and Fran- nie Norris, was staged in the gym after the Carnival. The Pep Squad dressed the football players as members of the Harri- son and Moody clans, trees, and frogs. The theme was Romiet and Julio , or ff Who Stole the Pigskin?” At the White Elephant Sale. Celeste Ellis sold paper flowers and other arti- cles which students might want. 77 Dr. Shaw and Mr. Rife spent most of the time in the jail during the Carnival. A student reached for the top of the greased pole in hopes that he might get the prize money.
