23 Q e 1 f D32 Juniors, J ubiant, Seniors Shattered The final results had been tabulated and announced. The class of 1982 was one of the few junior classes ever to defeat the Senior Class in Field Day. Understandably, the Junior Class literally erupted from their assigned seats in a burst of excitement and jubilation over their vic- tory. Cheers of juniors . juniors and The seniors bite the dust filled the gym. The class of 1982 proved to be victorious in all main events, as they swept all of the first places from under the senior's noses. Cries of disapproval arose from the seniors as the scoring results of one after another of banner, song, cheer, costume, march, and floor show were announced. It seemed impossible that an experienced, hard working Senior Class could not win one single main judged event. Even worse, the Seniors were awarded third place in the costume event and tied for se- cond place with the Sophomores for T-Shirt design.

The Seniors took first in the Flag Shuttle Relay, the Boys Tug-o-war, and Girls Three Legged Race, but were disqualified in the Girls Sack Race and Boys Three Legged Race. The Sophornores came in first in the Boys Three Legged Race, but this was a result of the disqualification of the Iunior and Senior classes. The Iuniors won the Boys Sack Race, the Girls Sack Race, and the Barrel Race, and placed second in all the events won by the Seniors. At the end of the field events the score stood at Seniors-69, Iuniors-70. Sophomores-46. It was a close race and the Juniors were only one point ahead of the Seniors, but this point proved to be crucial later on in the day as the results of the others events were announced. 621
