I l Seniors win po wderpuff game--keep the tradition Z othyv Q? We'll carry on the tradition next year. Junior Kim Leeper 77 WINNERS. The seniors run onto the field to congratulate their fellow classmates after the powderpuff game, BE MORE CAREFUL: Senior Rob Bruns warns seniors John Ferguson and Dave Fink to behave. 12 Powderpuff ith the coming of fall, many boys think about football and upcoming games. During Homecoming week, some of the girls started thinking about their chance to play the game. The powderpuff game is usually one of the largest activities of Homecoming week. This year was no different. The powderpuff game was anticipated as much as ever. Both the juniors and seniors spent several hours of practice in preparation for the game. Junior Trudy Brooks said, We practiced about every other night, but there were a lot of no-shows. However, the teams still practiced the plays and readied themselves for the competition. This year two traditions were carried on. The first one was the practical jokes that the seniors played on the juniors. However, the jokes turned into vandalism, undermining the school spirit. The administration heard about the egging of cars and people and lectured the participants about their behavior. Manak handled it we1l, commented senior Amy Pojak. It's a tradition. This year it was just enlarged too much. Junior Kim Leeper said, It was all in fun. The mishap was cleared up with no further trouble. The second tradition was that the seniors won. Junior Angie Aiello and senior Julie Toole scored in the first half to tie the score at half-time. Toole scored again in the last quarter to lead the seniors to their traditional victory with a score of 12-6. Most powderpuffers thought the game was fairly judged by the referees, too fairly, commented Pojak. Some juniors said it was unfair for the officials to let the clock run down even when time was called. This form of scorekeeping was also a tradition of the game. But it was an enjoyable game for both the players and the observersg even those who weren't seniors. It really doesn't matter, we'll carry on the tradition next year, said Leeper.
