N While posing in front of garbage cans for their MORP picture, Senior Willie Linnemeier and Junior Marty Ambriole can ' t resist laughing at each other ' s antics. Before the MORP, seniors Diane Falkenstern and Innovations add excitement i rom watermelon seed spitting to reverse proms: student council sponsored a vari- ety of events. In an effort to please as many people as possible, the officers con- centrated on creating new, unique ideas. Starting with homecoming and continuing throughout the year, students were con- stantly being surprised with different ideas and activities. The first new innovation, the Almost Anything Goes contest, was designed to replace the Powder Puff game. It fea- tured such competitions as banana split eating, drinking Pepsi from baby bottles and tricycle riding. The contest brought the classes together and encouraged team work. The seniors had the best team work as they led throughout the competition and managed to finish in first place. After the homecoming excitement died down, girls were given the chance to ask their favorite guy to the reverse hayride. The hayride and square dance were spon- sored jointly by Student Council and G.A.A. (Girl ' s Athletic Association) Wom- en ' s lib hit Concordia and three months later girls were again given the chance to ask a special guy to join them for an evening of fun. This time though it wasn ' t for a hayride but rather a reverse prom called the MORP. (MORP is PROM spelled backwards.) Girls either took their dates to some exclusive place like McDonald ' s or prepared a brown-bag din- ner for consumption in the cafeteria be- fore the dance. Everything was done re- verse of the prom: dress was informal, corsages were dead, and pictures were taken in black and white with a back- ground of trash cans. The creativity of these activities and other council sponsored events provided a change of pace and a chance for fun. 28 innovations
