DERP' 'F' , O Football game causes aches and pam for gam The student council revived an event that had not been held in three years, the Powder Puff football game. The sophomorefsenior team, the Cottonheads, competed against the freshmanfjunior team, the Thunderthighs. Each team had one pre-game practice in which to learn offensive and defensive plays. It was a pressure situationj' Jill Beever, junior, said, everything was kind of jammed into one afternoon, the day of the game! Finally the time arrived. The temperature was warm, and the girls were already wet with sweat because of pre-game workouts. At first, the girls were nervous, however, the Cottonheads broke swim, ii.. - through their nerve barrier with Maggie Gonzales and Glenda Briscoe scoring the two winning touchdowns. The Thunderthighs were eager to get their revenge, but the Cottonheads' defense was too tight to penetrate, and they won the game 12-0. Coach Rogers, Coach Smelley, and Coach Jones were referees, and called the game by regular football rules. Just as in regular football, calls were made that were an advantage and a disadvantage to the teams. Many of the calls were caused by irate coaches, Coach O.G. Campbell and Coach Lynn Coumpy. Although the game was flag football, the girls played rough. - -v .-...M . A K Luckily no one was injured, and all survived. The aftermath was not so good. Many of the girls had aches, pains, soreness, and bruises, due to playing 100 percent. Even though someone had to lose, everyone enjoyed the event and showed good sportsmanship. As the official, also known as Coach Rogers, makes the call the players wait very attentively to see what that call will be. 17 ...ri 61 While junior Bridgette Sims goes full speed to try to score, Patti Murdock approaches her to pull the flag.

.P.R.Iu oGoFoEoVcEo A highly contagious but harmful disease that excludes no one when it strikes i Catch the fever! Spring fever! This fever was one that all enjoyed catching. It comes only once a year, so why not take advantage of it? 'This year, the winter season never -came. As a result, an early spring started the action. - Going to the lake, barbecueing, 1 and just having a good time was the ideal thing to do during spring. Boys gave in to the urge to go fishing, 'while girls hoped to catch a few rays from the sun. Sleeping late was the thing to do for some. Others enjoyed a softball game, or even a short game of football. Every year the students take a spring break. This year, the break made the atmosphere seem even more like spring. It gave the students time away from school to do the things they enjoyed most. Some students went out of town while on their spring break. Corpus Christi is a popular place to go, and that is where Patti Murdock spent her time. It was nice to get away and have nothing to do all day but lay out, quoted Patti. Cool, brisk mornings, and warm afternoons were a sure sign of spring. Everyone enjoyed the sun, the time away from school, and getting to do a few things that they do not get to do everyday. Once someone catches spring fever, it is difficult to get rid of it! Student Life 23
