MARATHON BARS LAST and last, but excited Gregg Burlison finishes his to give the Seniors a win while Jr. Gary McCoy finds a mouthful of chocolate and caramel hard to swallow. STUCO PRESIDENT RICK Worley and STUCO member Kyle Williams demonstrate the obstacle Qoarse to the student body and find t harder than they thought. V WILLa Backwards day relieves tension Sadie Hawkins Day Traditionally has meant that girls ask guys to the all-school picnic. However, not many girls did, so almost everyone had to supply his own lunch. Also, traditionally speaking, Mr. Denton has tried to have as much school as possible. This custom was futile too, as he cancelled morning classes in lieu of a talent show. Forgotten words and lots of laughs swept the audience at the talent show. After two false starts Rick Worley, our famed STUCO Presi- dent, received a standing ovation for his third try at singing 1 Somewhere my Love.' STUCO campaign speeches fol- lowed the talent show and creativity ran wild. Short Randy Patzkowski gave his speech under the protection of two 6 3 ' bodyguards, ‘Big1' Jim Fast and Jerome Wichert. Mike Belter also brought gimmicks into the open as he used two hit men, Rob Wilson and Mark VanMeter to 'make us an offer we couldn't refuse.1 Following the morning activities with everyone wearing his clothes backward, it was off to the city park for lunch and an afternoon of compe- tition. Eating came first and food was plentiful. Volleyball, a sport long dominated by the seniors, was swept by the juniors. An obstacle course through the playground was run by members of each class adding points to the class total. All classes were fairly even going into the 'make me laugh' contest. Here the juniors came out with a perfect score with John Elwell a master of cracking ev- eryone up. Tradition prevailed in the Marathon Bar eating contest when Gregg Burlison won for the seniors. Time was running short and the last event of the day, a tug-of-war, would decide who won the competi- tion. Sophomores outpulled freshmen and juniors muscled out the seniors. With only five points separating the jr. and sophs, at this point the teams lined up, dug in and Rick Worley signaled the start of the deciding war. Rallying back after the loss of a few feet, the Sophomores won the battle, but learned it was for nothing because the Juniors had out-pointed all the rest. So tired, sore, and sunburned the student body began the final weeks of school. 1 % 22 Student Life

IF BRADY HAMMAR can get basketball star Jim Schwind to shoot goals for him in the Sr. carnival booth, he can assure him- self a top prize. F.H.A. WORK DAY was truly a ‘work day for most girls, but for Becky Ford and Me- lanie Cross, washing windows was a fun way to earn money. i THROUGH RAIN, SLEET, or even snow, football boys had an unusual, but interesting game during the calmer days of our snow period. GETTING COMFORTABLE for the Jerry Lewis Christmas film, Troy Ev- ans and Kenny Wanzer stretch out in front of the screen. Student Life 21
