Rain, rain, go away. Come again some other day. That was What students were saying when skies darkened and rain threatened to cancel Spring Day. But the storm held off long enough for the Class of '81 to obtain their second Victory in three years. With six new events, most of them messy, Spring Day had a different look. The 'Classics - the Obstacle Course and the Tug-of-War-were the high- lights of the day. Although the weather wasn't ideal, the enthusiasm of the par- ticipants shined through to make Spring Day a success. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, freshman Charles Kellar shows enthusiasm with the Jello toss. In this new event, contestants flipped Jello at their partners' mouths until it was caught. However, more Jello ended up on their clothes than in their mouths. AN EYE-CATCHING but gross event was the to- bacco spitting contest. Here, Johnny ' Snuffy Eickholtz displays his spitting ability. h JUNIOR SCOTT GRAY chokes down another ,b one of his four chocolate dill pickles to bring his classmates to a second place showing.
