0ur Float's the Best I r F -l'4-.., , L.. 1. . he class of 1980 regained the title of Best Overall Float that they had lost last year to the class of '79. This was their third win out of four years. The float was constructed at Sr. Lorie Cunningham's house by a large crew. Sr. Bob Beckman made the frame of the chariot and Sr. Tracy Mortimer made the frame of the husky from a saw horse. The seniors also used tissue paper, chicken wire, and boxes, which cost about S90.00. They only ran into one major problem, when the unfinished chariot was stolen for a day. Luckily, whoever took it, returned it to them. Sr. Paul Polston's truck pulled the float, while Sr. Fton Horton, wrapped in a toga, rode in the chariot. Balloons were released, which only a few people saw, and the song, Let the Good Times Boll played from the truck. The group had at first planned to make a large mountain on their float, with a beer keg rolling down the side. Unfortunately, this plan was rejected by the faculty. The seniors who participated in the construction for the float had a big cookout in the Cunningham's backyard on the sixth of October. Floats 19
