GYM A BATTLEFIELD photos by Jeff All-out war! Class pitted against class! Teams fighting teams! Indivi- duals straining to win! This class tour- ney was certainly a blood-thirsty com- petition. Class spirit began growing with the choosing of class color and the ordering of tourney T-shirts. But class patriotism hit its peak on Friday night, March 13, creating a war-like atmosphere. Walking into the gym, competitors and spectators saw a variety of vivid colors. On one side were the fresh- men ' s green and the sophomores ' red. The juniors ' blue and the seniors ' pur- ple covered the opposite wall. During basketball and volleyball games, the gym floor was dotted with strange combinations of purple and red or green and blue bodies. As the tourney progressed, the teams remained in fierce combat while competing in the obstacle course, arm wrestling, and tug-of-war. During the Handlin junior-senior tug-of-war, the unexpect- ed happened. The rope snapped, sending both teams backward in falling domino fashion! However, a new, thicker rope was brought, and the mighty Class of ' 81 went on to win the tug-championship for their third year in a row. Other excitement occurred in arm wrestling while senior Amy Yoder and freshman Nora Cook strained against each other for over ten minutes! The end result was a victory for Amy when Nora lifted her elbow from the board. Ping-pong, ice-cream eating, the egg toss, and the cottonball race added variety and lighter entertainment to the tourney. The conclusion of class tourney brought with it a victory for the sen- iors. This was the first time in eight years that seniors had captured the title of Class Tourney Champs! •Jeanne Glenn o The official timekeepeT, Mr. Heller, and scorekeeper, Mr. Walton, await the tourney ' s final result.
