Com- bining it with the Unit- ed Way Fund Drive, Dr. Stephenson added an interesting angle: He would have his head shaved if the stu- dent body raised at least $1,989! Monday was PJ-D) Day. Students wore their jammies, and a DJ entertained at lunch as a Pie-in-the-Face contest thrilled specta- tors. Tuesday, Western Day, saw Irish cowboys and cowgirls moseying around campus, and some attempted the Hi- Ho Horsey Hop at lunch. Surfers ruled on Thursday, which was dubbed Dude . . . I ' ts Beach Bummin ' Day! The pool deck was crammed with stu- dents in sunglasses, vi- sors, tank-tops, and shorts watching the Raft Relay.

Many clubs and activities sponsored booths to sell food or lure stu- dents to try their luck and skill at various games.
