The spirited Mike Thomas coaxes the Senior Powder Puffers on to victory. Feminine Jaguars Emerge As Gridiron Grizzlies Wednesday, October the 15th, marked the day that our sleek feminine Jaguars shed their shiny spotted fur coats and emerged as gridiron grizzlies destined to engage in a battle rivaled only by the siege of Troy. The steamrolling juniors drew first blood but the seniors found what turned out to be the junior’s Achilles heel when they stopped the extra point attempt and with renewed morale, struck back to take a 7—6 halftime lead. The halftime festivities were highlighted by an award winning performance by a select few of the Falls Church High School championship band and a water fracas between the masculine, but charming, cheerleaders. Back on the field came the two titanic forces to trade blows until the game was called because of darkness and multiple injuries. Final score: the Super Seniors edged out the Mighty Juniors in a real squeaker: 14—13. Rough, tough Julie Short and speedy Sara Stiff frighten the Ju¬ niors into defeat. Practicing for the big game, Junior Powder Puffers scramble, block, and collide.

Dog Patch Couples Frolic In Barnyard For a solid week, cans in the halls, cans in the cafeteria, cans EVERYWHERE groping, pleading, searching, begging for every available piece of change. Sadie Hawkins was drawing nigh and the nominees were competing for the chance to run in the great Sadie Hawkins night race. Wednesday found Falls Church High in a state of confusion; trial runs for the big race were being held in the cafeteria, Seniors were desperately trying to decorate the “barnyard,” and all the girls were constructing their vegetable corsages. Couples, guzzling “moonshine” and frolicking in the hay to the vibrations of the December’s Children, were suddenly disrupted by the shrill cry of a hog call and within seconds the dance was besieged by an invasion of Dogpatch men with their women hot on their heels. The idea caught on and within sec¬ onds, all of the girls had muscled their partners up to the podium to get “hitched” by Marryin’ Sam and sealed with the proper trimmins’—a ring and a fist full of rice. Everyone went home smiling, the girls because they caught their men and the men because they knew it wasn’t for real. Greg Nelson doesn ' t mind playing Lil’ Abner. Wally Kurylo, alias Cave Gal, gets hitched as Tiny Yokum and Wolf Gal look on. V—Y gjPpiL 16

FBLA Presents Beauties In An Elaborate Fashion Semi-finalists Linda Griffith and Linda Rosser await the momentous decision of the judges. Newly crowned Miss Falls Church High is overcome with emotion and her sister shares in her happiness by hugging the proud father. Astonishment mingles with happiness as Daren Poole is crowned Miss Falls Church High and Michele Egnot and Linda Griffith are honored as first and second runners-up. As a very charming and graceful girl walked down the runway, Bob Stigers, our answer to the Miss America Pageant’s Bert Parks, revealed the carefully guarded information. . . Her measurements are 36-23-35. and her hobbies are talking, eating, and wrestling with the boys on her block.” The front rows could see a bright red blush come over her face—as could the back rows. Over to the side, a select group of judges was tallying the scores on beauty, charm, and grace, while the experts in the audience were picking their favorites as the halfway point was reached. Before the audience went out for intermission, they were greeted by none other than old St. Nick, alias Bill Herbert, with his bag full of valuable door prizes. Other entertainment was provided by the fine Falls Church A Capella Choir singing selected Christmas carols. After the break for refreshments, the contest concluded with the evening gown competition and an extemporaneous question-answer session which proved to be the most severe test of poise and intelligence for the semi-finalists. Finally, the judges went into confer¬ ence and the results were announced: Michele Egnot and Linda Griffith, first and second runners up respectively, and sophomore Daren Poole, queen of the F.B.L.A.’s Miss Falls Church High Beauty Contest. 18
