The atmosphere on Wednes- day, September 18th was much different between the junior and senior classes than any other Wednesday. It was time for one of homecoming ' s most popular events — Powder Puff. Memories of the many practices flashed in the minds of the players. Juniors had a total of fourteen practices, the seniors three. To psych themselves up for the game, the seniors met at Wally Miazga ' s house and rode to the school cheering and chanting. The junior puffers met at Shelly Slentz ' s house to decorate their cars and caravan to the school. The game was about to begin. The seniors, in their black and red sweatshirts, and the juniors outfit- ted in blue and yellow were about to match their talents in the sport of football. From the beginning of the week, everyone expected the seniors to win, as usual. Even one of the referees, Mr. Steinhouser, had predicted the win of the sen- iors on his calendar. But the ju- niors were out to prove everyone, including past history, wrong. The game itself was very differ- ent despite the efforts of the sen- ior players and the referees. For the first time since 1972, the ju- niors defeated the seniors with a score of 12-6. The loss of the sen- iors caused mixed emotions for everyone. Overall, the Powder Puff game was a lot of fun for both classes. It got everyone fired up for the homecoming game. As summed up best by Mary Pfister, I thought that Powder Puff was a fun part of homecoming and helped encourage class spirit. — Chris Scheil Powder Puff — Ufestyles l 3
