“Whaf Did We Get Accomplished? shopping tour for underprivileged chil- dren, light-a-bulb, the apple butter sale, and the Special Olympics for retarded children. I think the club was carried on fairly successfully this year, especially con- sidering we had a new advisor. Miss Goad. She did a great job, said Tammy Downer, vice-president. But I felt we could have had much more participa- tion than we did. We had around 60 girls on the roll for members, but the same few always showed up at projects. The Ms. Jayteens are supposed to be a community organization, but I felt they never seemed to get around to doing anything except talking about what they could do for themselves, said Janie Curtin, member. I hated it. I definitely won t join next year. The Boys ' Jayteens proved to be a very busy club. They sponsored such projects as Kid Wrestling, a basketball game between their club and the Key Club of Alleghany, and a game between the faculty of CHS and the faculty of ACHS. They also built the stand for the PA system, which they worked during all varsity basketball games held at home. They bought a new amplifier and micro- phone for the PA system. Certain people did all the work, but the whole club received credit for it, were the sentiments of Jere Shawver and Tracey Leet. The Jayteens worked along with the Ms. Jayteens on most community proj- ects. The highlight of the year for both clubs was the convention held in spring. The Beta Club had one donut sale and the annual initiation banquet in spring. The Pep Club edited the Pep Sheet and baked cakes for the football and basket- ball teams. ' What did we get accomplished at this meeting? Nothing, as usual. Hey, want to get something to drink at the Burger House after the meeting? Sure, Let ' s go. And so, the meetings at CHS ended with a note of somewhat unconcern . . . ••» TOP: Vice President Tammy Downer dreams of what the Ms. Jayteens may do next year.

Hustle Bustle Sore Muscles There was a tremendous amount of pregame publicity. Boasts were made Challenges were accepted. Coaches wor- ried Cheerleaders cheered. Both teams practiced long and hard on trying to get their battle plan in order. By all appearances this seemed to be just like any other football game. Such was not the case for on one bright and crisp Saturday in November the girls of the Senior class met the up- start challenges from the Junior class in the annual Powder Puff Football Game. The first quarter of the game the two teams were scoreless. But in the second period the Juniors found them- selves backed up in their own end zone. The Juniors then went into a shot- gun position. Rita Lemon snapped the ball to Shelia Halsey which went over her head. Shelia then picked up the ball and threw it to Dorthea Jordan. But not before Kaye Smith could grab Shelia s flag in the Junior ' s end zone. The safety had been scored. During the third and fourth quarters of the game neither of the two teams were able to score. But as a result injuries were ex- changed: busted lips, sore muscles, and broken fingernails. The sounding of the buzzer signaled the end of the game. When Kaye Smith was asked how she felt the game went she replied, Our de- fense was super and we had fun, it was a good clean game We played as a team and had good coaches. The Juniors walked away in disbelief. Shelia Halsey said that the game was rough although it was fun, a lot of people got mad and hurt. Shelia concluded by saying that I really don ' t believe that the Seniors got a safety and it was a bad call on the referee ' s part, but that ' s the way things go some time. The Seniors might have walked away the victors but the Juniors put up a tough fight. It will be a game to be remembered by both teams for a long time . . . 26 POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL
