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.

The annual Spirit Week returned to Riley High this year with a stylish flair. Hall decorations were put up by all the classes. The seniors used the theme of Animal House, the juniors used The Comedy Shop, and the sophomores used Wildcat Heaven Hell. The sen- iors held an Ugly Couples Contest. A pep assembly included class skits and Most Promising Sophomore Athlete Awards. Seniors John Weber and Sara Stewart were winners of the Ugly Couples Con- test and set a new record by raising a total of $66.72. They were followed closely by Dave Troeger and Cindy Alvear, and Lorrie Gottschalk and Norm Carlson. The enormous amount of money raised for the Ugly Couples Con- test will go toward decorations and entertainment for the prom. The Hall Decorations Award, a silver bowl, was awarded to the junior class for their hall theme Welcome to the Comedy Shop, and the sophomores won the best skit award for Wildcat Heaven Can Wait. COMEDY was the junior theme and to prove how funny they are, Lisa Wiand stands on her head as Bob Labis gives her a hand. LORRIE GOTTSCHALK works on the poster she designed for the senior hall. AN UGLY ROSE HARSH looks tired after a long day of collecting money. A RILEY ROAD SIGN was one of many senior contributions to the senior hall decorations.
