f ACULTY SOARS To tenth consecutive victory With poetic predictions about the team that would emerge victorious, each side in the annual senior-faculty basketball game read poems with the teachers making slams and the seniors restating confidence in themselves. The halls were scattered with posters advertising the game, weeks ahead of time. The whole school stirred with anticipation, wanting to know whether the 10-year record would be broken by the ' 86 seniors or not. Action-packed adventure could be found at the game, even though there was some doubt if there would be a game held at all. The senior team threatened to boycott the game. They didn ' t think players should have to buy a ticket to attend the game. It ' s stupid. We refused to buy tickets and we never did buy them. We still played anyway. Players shouldn ' t have to pay to get in. Teachers don ' t. National Honor Society should change their rules, senior Newel Anderson said about the policy for players buying tickets. Bodies packed into the main gym, waiting for the game to begin. Vendors from the National Honor Society, the sponsoring organization, strolled through tne bleachers and offered a selection of popcorn and candy. After a warm-up by both teams, the seniors waited in the locker rooms to make their grand entrance. With a senior monster mascot carrying a chain saw, an empty beer keg, and beer slogan T-shirts, seniors raced around the gym to loud cheers. The faculty made a calm entrance and jogged around the gym to hissing and booing, not being the favorite in this competition. Seniors had speed but lacked the years of experience and teamwork possessed by the faculty. The faculty pulled ahead immediately even though the seniors fought hard and came close at times. However, the seniors never caught up during the game and the faculty won by a hearty score, 71-51. It was another victory by the faculty as their record winning streak remained unbroken. A disappointed crowd was dismissed to go home and begin their spring vacation. And as usual, the junior class could be heard to say, Just wait ' til next year. COMING IN AS A SUBSTITUTE, Roger Stricklin makes one of his free throws in a losing cause as the faculty won, 71-51. THREE-YEAR STAFF MEMBER Royce McDougall shoots over Dave Corey, to lead the faculty in scoring for the game. Mr. McDo ugall lead scoring for the last three years. 22 Senior Faculty Basketball

OLD PHOTOGRAPHS grabbed the atten- tion of Jennifer Stawicki and Jocelyn Sheehy, as well as everyone else. IN TWO OF THE FEW CHAIRS available, Tammy Thiel and Theresa Travis share the memories while signing yearbooks. DANCING WAS ALMOST NONEXISTENT because students, like Diane Guba, spent most of the time autographing yearbooks. 21 Yearbook Dance
