powcder-POOCF! For years powderpuff has symbolized a favorite tradition at HHS from the first game in 1970 until the sophomore victo- ry in 1979. The games came to an end this year when, because of an injury which occurred in a practice at Collinsville, the high school was sued. Fearing the case would set a precedent, HHS administration cancelled them. Student Council came up with ‘‘Almost Anything Goes’’ to replace the popular tradition. A Walt Disney theme set the pace for a week of celebration and competition among classes. Although seniors gathered the most points for their class, the biggest prize was the Bulldog 28-8 victory over Triad. 4 7 Showing off their Bulldog bandanas, Mr. Meyer's first hour drafting class takes a break from work.
