SPU TRIP Approximately 150 GFC students rode chartered Hamman buses to Seattle for the February 2, 1980 Migration to SPG. After spending the day touring Seattle and the Center, the students headed toward the Seattle Center Arena to watch the GFC vs. SPG basketball game. As well as the sport competition, the two schools battled in spirit, band performances, and half-time enter- tainment activities. 1) In the Seattle Arena, the Bruin team members are called out onto the floor while the rally performs. 2) The Bruin crowd sparked ex- citement, and.Lee Riley came prepared in case those sparks got car- ried away. 3) Jeff Lowe looks for the open man against the SPCJ team. 4) The GFC Pep Band takes a break while student leader Ed Lehman looks for louder music. 5) While the Bruin team warmed up, their fans gathered ' round to show their support. 6) Assisted by Nancy Johnson, Dean Qerig gathers some souvenirs of his trip to Seattle.
