Chilling Ordeal How long can you tread water? This was the question uppermost in the minds of those dauntless mariners in the eighth annual, awe-inspiring GFC Raft Race. Compelled by the prospect of an all expense paid trip to the Rhine- lander, Joel Keesecker, Marty and Warren Koch, and Steve Comfort braved salt and sea, wind and wave, to gain that coveted prize. Scott Mayfield, ASGFC Activities Director, managed to stay high and dry on a virtual oceanliner, while other intrepid sailors inched their way to the finish line on recycled refuse in hopes of capturing second place, which was free tickets to the Christmas Formal; or even third place, for a $5.00 gift certificate at the Junior Store. In the end, all those who donned water wings experienced the real terror that Noah must have felt every time he sprung a leak. - .£4 ■ 16 RAFT RACE

Creative Concoctions Shuffling bodies in the darkness, tension in the air, suspense . . . then, a click is heard, a beam of light flashes through the blackness, a loud BEEP BEEP rips through the silence and the Road Runner tears across the screen, with Wile E. Coyote hot on his heels. This was just part of the 1976 GFC Halloween Party, one attraction amidst the games and the costumes; the chance to be someone other than your- self for just one night. It was apparent that creative juices had been flowing as students came in costumes that ranged from Munchkins to Mummies, con- cocted no doubt from frequent trips to thrift stores, and relics procured from closets, attics and old boxes. And so they came, some in costume and some not, to revert to childhood long enough to enjoy the delights of cotton candy, to try their luck in the game room and to watch Yosemite Sam carry on his never ending battle against Bugs Bunny. But more than that, they came to forget, at least for awhile, the pressures of homework and tests, and to take a little time out to be what we all occassionally wish we could remain — kids. 18 HALLOWEEN PARTY
