KILL, ATTACK, DESTROY Buxom cheerleaders vied with baby trumpet players for the crowd’s attention at the annual Powder Puff football game between the junior and the senior girls. The cheerleaders for both sides set the atmosphere of hilarity with their gaudy costumes of ribbons, bows, and quantity of ‘‘stuffing.” For the juniors Jeff St. George, Bobby Kemp, Ray Kennedy, Brian Williams and a host of other hairy-legged beauties cheered on their team, which was captained by Beth Resolute and Yvette Hardy. The vivacious and cuddly Mike York, all in curls, led the senior cheerleaders with the help of Russell Hinton, Eddie Woody, Doug Creecy, 28 POWDER PUFF Billy Kline, Mark Marchetti, Chris Crawford, Chris Mounie, Jerry Butler, Tim Holland, Ned Deaver, Steve Roberts, and Todd Porter. Styx Baron muscled through the junior line for two touchdowns. Lisa Colasanti scored the first touchdown in the first quarter. For the juniors a touchdown by Colleen Parker was called back by referees Coach Rhodes and Coach Phelps because she had lost her flag. The final score was a rout by the seniors, 22-0. Lisa Saunders and Ginny Ward, senior captains, expressed pleasure at the victory and groans over the injuries. The CHS Pep Band outclassed its last year’s effort with outfits ranging from Cowboy Bob to monkies to clowns to punks. Tammy Wright wore green army fatigues accented by Dazzle Dust. Suzanne Zawacki looked chic in a garbage bag. The coaches for the teams, football players such as Tom Wiggins, Carol Young, Billy Damron, Todd Vance, Brian Veal and Chubby Hardy, only had two weeks to whip their teams into shape. The result was an exciting evening of nonsense. The senior and junior classes together grossed almost a thousand dollars, making the Powder Puff game not only fun but profitable. Let's Go Girls.

HOLIDAYS AND EXAMS As the Churchland students wit- nessed the first snowfall of the school year, they realized that Christmas was just around the corner. The holiday spirit filled the air as winter vacation approached. The month of December was filled with Christmas activities including the Holly Ball, two one act plays, the Christmas basketball Tournaments, the Chorus and Band Concert, the Villager show, and the collection for charities. The Truckers spent their weekends putting up Christmas trees and buying gifts for their loved ones. Also the Hannukah holiday was in swing and the eight days of feasting were under way. However, the month was not all fun and games; teachers began piling on the work to make sure chapters were finished before vacation. Students were encouraged to study for exams during vacation, but as Kathy Whitehead noted, “Il was too busy just doing the work assigned over the holiday. | had absolutely no time to get an early start on exams.” The thought of a two week break was at the top of everyone's mind. 30 HOLIDAYS AND EXAMS ANS Mark Marchetti could not wait for the holidays so that he could “go see a few late shows with Tom Wiggins, Billy Damron and B-I51.” Lory Crone, Kristin Swanson, and Kathy Whitehead looked forward to the days off so they could “get some sleep.”” Trey White prepared himself for “hanging around the mistletoe.” As the New Year's Eve approached everyone was prepared to celebrate. The seniors were filled with excite- ment as the year they would graduate was just a day away. Parties were attended by all. As the last minutes of 1982 were counted down, everyone yelled, “Happy New Year.” And of course, kisses were exchanged to welcome the new year. The holidays ended and Churchland High was back in action. Basketball games and wrestling matches contin- ued with great attendance. Also, play practice for the January musical, Carnival, was in full swing. For the next few weeks teachers prepared their students for the “dreaded” exams. Luckily seniors with an A average were able to be exempted. Everything that had been learned so far was combined into one Santa's elves. These helpers can be seen at Coleman's Nursery. long test. The night before each exam was spent cramming. Minds were boggled by all the information. The Truckers cheered as a day off followed the three days filled with tests. The seniors planned a ski trip to celebrate the end of exams. Churchland High School was back to normal as the new semester began. Hantzel and Gretel.
