On Thursday, November 17, 1983, the juniors and seniors met for the annual powderpuff game. Many hours were spent practicing for the “main event.” The seniors and sophomores were teamed against the juniors and freshmen. Friendships were laid aside for that one day. Everyone was look- ing for a victory. The day of the big game could have been called “reverse” day. It was quite a sight — girls with jerseys and boys with cheerleading uniforms. Coaches for the blue team in- cluded Todd Hudson, Randy War- ren, and Benjy Black. The white team was coached by Barry Stew- art, Rob Young, Keith Warren, and Shan Pye. Cheers for the sen- iors were lead by Reggie Woods, Van Boynton, Jeff Searson, and Todd Buddin. The junior cheer- leaders included Bert Snyder, Robbie Free, Keith Hadwin, and Rhett Turner. Three seniors ran for “powderpuff queen.” John “Juanita” Bryan, Joey “Jolene” Stacks Ritter, and Glenn “Glen- da” Beach. The entire student Friend Vs.

The students at John C. are al- ways very spirited, but the first week in November was extra-spe- cial. Everyone’s blood ran “true blue”. The festivities were launched on Monday, October 31, when the seniors wore their tradi- tional Halloween costumes. Mrs. Linder had never seen so many “characters” excited about recit- ing Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The Halloween carnival boosted the spirit, especially the juniors’ haunted house. Wednesday was T-shirt signing day. Students wore old shirts on which their friends wrote graffiti. Some of those shirts were quite interesting by sixth period! For the first time in several years, stu- dents gathered for a bonfire on Wednesday night. There was a brief pep rally and an effigy was burned. Thursday was hush but- ton day and Robbie Free was named “Mr. Irresistible.” Finally, Friday was Original Blue and Activities Excite Students (Top) The Canterbury Tales are easier to (Above) Benjy Black, Todd Hudson, Glenn (Above) Lisa Avant, Marsha McGinnis, recite in outrageous costumes.
