In The Lion Country This year the Lion Country air was again filled with the excitement and competition of Class Tour- ney. Because of the energy crises last year, the Class Tourney was new, not only to the freshmen, but to the sophomores also. Along with the class competition there was also balloons, crepe pa- per, and boldy painted signs des- ignating the different class areas which were also judged. Following the Tourney was a costume dance with prizes for the best costume. (top) Exhibiting class closeness, Seniors and Freshmen pull together in the tug-of- war.

WMEE Jocks And Jack ' s Through the many years of bas- ketball teams, money making pro- jects, and faculty foolishness, there has never before at Leo been an event like the donkey basketball game. There were many local businessmen and about 15 faculty members. With a total of four competing teams, the large crowd of fans was kept in an uproar by stubborn, selfish, and even tired donkeys which had minds of their own.

With the mood set and the stu- dents rowdy and ready, the class tourney was started. Beginning after school with the judging of the decorations for each class, the excitement was underway. Because of the varying talents and tastes of the participants, events ranged from ping-pong to arm wrestling to basketball to vol- leyball, from the shuttle run to the egg toss and on to the ice cream eating contest, which seemed more like a prize than a contest. Last but not least was the tug-of-war. Because this event pitted entire classes against each other instead of just a few individuals, it was a favorite and highlight of the evening. Class Tourney 19
