To Seaholm freshmen, Field Day also means a totally new experience unique to our school. To sophomores, Field Day means the chance to rise above the other class and usually to defeat them. Field Day, however, is not all fun and games. A lot of preparation must go into this annual Seaholm tradition from making cos- tumes and banners to thinking up a song, cheer and march, not to mention composing a floorshow. All of these duties must be complet- ed and perfected before that Friday in the fall. The people on the preparation commit- tees often work long hours after school and on Saturdays. And not only do students get involved, but teachers help out as well. Patricia Hamming was the freshman advisor and Gerry Walter was the sophomore advisor this year. They helped to organize their classes so they could try to be the best ever. Miss Hamming feels that the students did all the work themselves. I was just there and available for them if needed. I picked up all the materials for them also. Miss Hamming also gives a lot of credit to Mrs. Wilson, who helped the freshmen as well. But making costumes isn ' t all that had to be done. Money had to be raised for Mott ' s Children ' s Hospital, which was chosen as the charity this year. The freshmen won this event for the lower class. The Freshmen, however, did not dominate on the day of Field Day. Although they were voted as having the better of the two logos, the sophomores won every field event except the flag shuttle (due to disqualification), the girls ' tug of war, and the girls ' three-legged race. While working hard to be successful for Field Day, both the freshmen and sophomores had their pleasure and triumph. Jennifer Berman. and Aaron Simpson work their way to the top by leading the Freshman Class into the gym on Field Day morning. Sophomores Jim Vasek, Chris Nelson, and Gerrit Vyn show they are in perfect form and have perfect aim white marching on Field Day and impressing the judges. photo by Doug Engle Nervously anticipating their song and cheer, precise rows of business-suited freshmen let Seaholm know that they are true professionals. Despite their businessJike attitude, they lost Field Day to the sophomores by 25 points. 14 STUDENT LIFE
