Altogether, 15 teams joined the fun at Flagler Field. Events included a water-balloon toss, a wheelbarrow race, a run- around-a-bat race, pyramid building, a pie-eating contest, among other activi- ties. The day closed with contestants participating in a tug-of-war over a mud hole. Though players ended up wet, dirty and exhausted, all agreed that the fun was well worth the mess. Left, Somebody always has to be in charge. ln this case, it's Will Verbits. At least, everyone can hear him. What's heard at the inevitable pie- eating contestlabovel is a lot of snuffling and chomping by the eaters, and a lot of shouting by the cheering section, More shouting lbelowl for the leapfrogsball-pass contest. - X. 355 LS 'X jv.w:,s X:-.,,g,',v f A rs , ' ,' '

Special Olympics The Special Olympics are always a big event for the mentally handicaped, but in St. John's county, they are also a big event for Flagler College. Olym- pics are held both in the fall and spring, with student volunteers becom- ing involved in all phases. The fall games were held at the Flagler gym and outdoor basketball courts. Events included dancing, bas- ketball and tumbling. Also, the clients and volunteers alike were treated to a visit from an alligator courtesy of the Alligator Farm of St. Augestine. After the competition finished, McDonald's donated lunch to participants and vol- unteers feasted on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After lunch, a basket- ball game between Special Olympics participants and the Flagler men's team put a close to the day. The Spring Games were held at St. John's Academy. Events included fris- bee, soccer and track. The highlight of the day was a visit from boxer Michael Spinks, who was training at the Florida School of the Deaf and Blind. s 6 . fa- is-if 2 u -1 - Q 1. f Wong-W, 1 Q Q Above, Clients and volunteers learn how to clog to the song Elvira.
