Students wait on the front lawn for their team captains to assign them to the different events of the afternoon. Nancy Castor and Carolyn Holm try to hold the spoon steady as they transfer an egg dur- ing the egg relay. Up and over the wall in the ob- stacle race go several hardwork- ing girls. Down at the bottom of that dog-pile is one greased pig, believe it or not! 21

LONGHORN DAY Hungry students file by the hot dog stands to receive the lunch furnished by the student council. Longhorn Day is a tradition at Fort Benton High School which was started to take the place of class picnics. Longhorn Day is a day of fun that all students and faculty members particip- ate in, thus spreading the idea of school unity and school participation. At noon on May 18, the student council served a lunch on the front lawn while team captains filled in participants on the entries for each of the fun events to be held later in the afternoon. After lunch, clean-up of the school grounds and football field was held. The main events of the afternoon were the games; an ob- stacle race, egg relay, egg-throw, greased pig chase and tug of war provided an air of fun and excitement that prevailed the rest of the day. Points were kept, and the Blue team emerged victorious. In late afternoon, the students climbed on- to the tractor-pulled hay racks and rode out to Green River Bridge for the annual barbecue. Many students went swimming in the muddy Teton River. A softball game ended the bar- becue. One-hundred sixty tired people climbed back on the hay racks for the ride back to town, where a Longhorn Day Dance was held. Thus did the 1964 Longhorn Day end-a group of tired but happy students enjoying one of their last group events together. Not even crutches stopped cheryil Fry from living it up on Longhorn Day. 20
