Trying to outdo the other class, and impress the judges with that little extra detail is the goal of each class in Field Day as they develop their theme. From the long debate sessions to decide on that special concept that will appeal to the judges sense of humor to the making of the costumes and the writing of the song, every detail of production is gone over until it is perfected. The Freshman class decided for their first Field Day to HStep in with Style . Clothed in tophats. tuxedos and canes, the Frosh proudly marched into the gym with a confidence to do their best. With one year of experience already under their belts, the Sophs were also confident of a good showing. In Fireman raincoats, they bucket-brigaded into the gym. ready to extinguish the Freshman hopes of upset. UURI G IT In the battle of the upper school, the juniors used every possible resource in an attempt to upend the Seniors. Donned in orange jockey outfits, the class of 85 rode into the gym, knowing they were ready for the battle ahead. For their third and final showing, the Seniors perfected every detail needed to secure a second win. The theme of mimes was finally decided upon after much debate, and the costumes were put into production. Mime outfits included a pair of gloves, hand sewn for each Senior. suspenders with knickers, and white face makeup. The tense moments throughout the theme events was broken by the traditional words Let the Field events Begin! costumes were shed, and what would ultimately decide the winners of Field Day morning began. fcontinuedj L 0 THEME EVENTS '83 EVENT '84 '8 '86 '87 CHARITY 8 4 4 8 PARTICIPATION 4 8 4 8 LOGO 1 2 1 2 MARCH 8 4 8 4 CHEER 4 8 8 4 SONG 8 4 8 4 FLOORSHOW 4 1 4 1 COSTUMES 1 4 4 1 BANNER 8 4 8 8 fcontlnucdj A QUICK THINKING Tomblinson makes an urgent call to the Sophomore class fire department.

RING IT 0 Field Day, Seaholm's oldest and greatest tradition, was exceptional- ly exciting this year as the competition was very close in ability, it was also filled with suspense, especially in the field events. Field day is divided into parts and the field events specially are heavier in their point value than the other theme events. The field events are quite important in the total outcome of field day because if a class has lost all the theme events, it is possible that the class could catch up by winning the field events. The field events consist of the flag-shuttle relay, boys and girls tug-o-war, sack race, three legged race, and the barrel race. Prepara- tion is essential for success in the field events. Practice was held every day after school. According to Kurt Kruger, Senior sports chair- man, We had the teams picked, but we didn't have that mandatory attendance that a successful team needs. We got through though, and we won by the skin of our teeth. Carrie Page, chairman of the field events for the class of '87, com- mented, The field events would have done a lot better if more people came out to practice serious- ly. Pressure was great, as all the classes entered the field events, it was either rise to the occasion or lose. Perfect practice makes perfect and the field events went fairly smooth. An overall look at the 1983 Field Day was that of joyous victory and the disappointment of defeat, but all in the spirit of Seaholm High School and good sportsmanship. O AFTER RIPPING OFF their cos- tumes, Karen Arnold, Bethany Cecilio, and Mary Ballantyne cheer on the Junior class with anticipation and excitement. FIELD EVENTS '83 EVENTS: RELAY: TUG! G TUG!
