Snodaze week flumes with activities The mid-winter monotony was broken this year by Snodaze. a week full of activities for the whole school. Sponsored by the student council, the purpose of Snodaze was to generate school spirit. Ann Possis (12). student council secretary, explained. We wanted to get every type of student involved in the activities to unite the student body. The flakes began to fall with a pepfest Tuesday morning. This event started with emcees Neal Schroeder (12) and John Young- blood (12) entering on bicycles from opposite sides of the gym and crashing into each other. It was a strange event to witness, but was successful in catching the crowd s attention. During the pepfest the week's activities were listed, and the celebrities were announced. These students were selected by the senior class in the following areas: sexiest smile, most musically minded, most school spirit, most athletic, most creative, most likely to succeed, and class clown. It was neat the way the rest of the school recognized me. said Betty Nagengast (12). who was chosen for most athletic. On Wednesday girls had the opportunity to buy heart buttons, which boys, with charming effort, tried to win on Thursday by either persuading or tricking the girls into talking to them. French club got into the spirit, too. by having a banana eating contest. Mark Flumerfelt (10). who finished with three eaten bananas, remarked afterward. The bananas got kind of untasty and unappetizing after a while. The winner. Dave Jas-tram (12) downed seven bananas in the minute time limit. Another contest, sponsored by the cooking club, challenged the students creativity by offering a prize for the most original snowflake design. Mary Overby's (12) snowflake won this contest. Carnations were delivered on Friday. The students, had an opportunity to send one of three messages. Red symbolized love, blue symbolized friendship, and white symbolized I'd like to get to know you better. The week closed Friday night with the Sweetheart Dance, which had a small turnout, but all had a good time. The entire week lifted the spirit of the student body, and was a warm spot in the heart of a cold winter. 26 SNODAZE
