Powderpuff lives Traditions survive Two weeks before Homecoming, Patty Archbold, Booster Club presi¬ dent, was still in search of coaches for the 1981 powderpuff teams. Hope was almost lost but the thought of breaking the powderpuff tradition made, not only Patty, but other girls determined to find coaches. After a long search, coaches were found for each team and long hard practices began immediately. The game was held Wednesday October 21 at 7 p.m. on the football field. Although it was a bitter cold night, the stands were packed with spectators. The seniors won the hard fought battle 14-13. During the week of Homecoming students showed their spirit by wear¬ ing class colors, western attire, crazy hats, wild punk rock outfits, and school colors on scheduled days in¬ stead of their usual attire. On the night of class competitions, students took part in several ac¬ tivities such as an obstacle course, a banana eating contest, and passing apples. Friday afternoon before the big game, all ticket holders were dismiss¬ ed from their last hour classes to at¬ tend the traditional Homecoming assembly. During the assembly those who attended were rowdy and raring to go. The classes competed for the spirit stick, which finally went to the itty bitty freshmen. During the final yelling session with the cheerleaders, a person disguised as the school mascot gave students an extra boost of spirit that made the Homecoming truly exciting.
