Seniors Triumph Atop Stubborn Beasts Bright lights beamed throughout the gym as the crowds streamed into the area. Everyone was set for an exciting, laughter-filled evening. Basketball is fun in itself, but with the addi-of donkeys you can’t miss. The clock ticked its way around to 7:30, and the first game began with the Seniors challenging the Varsity Club. It was a steal for the Seniors with a final score of 24 to 12. In the final game the Seniors triumphed over the teachers with a score of 12 to 6. Donkey basketball proved to be another victory for the Seniors. (Ac right): An unidentified player hangs from the basket to make an assist, good for another two points for the Seniors. Mr. Vaara wants to know how you can score a basket when you don’t have the ball and your donkey won’t move! The seniors won this one, 12—6. Frustrated at being unable to get his donkey in gear, Jerry Powell gives up and decides to wave at the audience. (Below): Taking the opportunity when this animal stood still, Mr. Mauti takes Mr. Kenyon’s place ... to be promptly bucked off.
