Seniors retire undefeated in Powderpuff Football Last year, as unexperienced juniors, the Class of 1979 defeated the seniors 18 to 13. This year they confidently pounced on the juniors, 33 to 21. The seniors were prepared for the game mentally, but coach Bob Severs made sure they were just as ready physically. Practices were field at O ' Brien field, and girls could be seen doing calisthenics and running laps. But the juniors didn ' t have it easy either! John Bonk was coach for the junior girls and gave them tough workouts. They put up a strong fight against the seniors at the game. The juniors were astonished by the seniors ' game plan, when on the very first play senior Nancy Crowner ran 50 yards for a touchdown. The juniors, however, did spring back and were encouraged by the seniors telling them, There ' s always next year! REFEREES: P. Frazier, W. Gartee, G. Morrlcal, L. Mornlngstar, D. Reid (junior), B. Ra)skl (senior). JUNIOR TEAMMATES make their entrance. CLASS OF 1980 cheerleaders show their stuff! JUNIOR BOB LABIS displays his cheerleader charm.

After school, most students head for home or the locker room to participate on one of the athletic teams. But a slowly ris- ing number of students head for their own period eight. Period 8 is when the Guard- ian Angels and Devils come out. It is when students prepare for antismoking lectures or work on special events such as the Cubs game. Why do they do it? This question is simple for junior Emily Burns, who explained why she volun- teered to be a Guardian Angel. The swim- mers put so much time and effort into their swimming, they deserve to have something special. Being Guardian Angels and Devils is not the only thing students do during eighth period. Other students involve themselves in special events such as the Christmas card exchange organized by Gayle Reznik. According to Gayle, Christmas is my favorite time of year; so the more I get involved, the better time I have.

School, to me, Is extracurricular activities and not just classes. — Debbie Engdahl
