As the final seconds ticked away on the clock, a major upset was in the making. The final score was 22-14, with the freshman-soph¬ omore team being victorious. For the first time in years, the history of powderpuff had been radically changed. By Friday of Spirit Week, both the classes and the faculty were fired-up for a Pep Session to spur on a Devil victory over the Griffith Panthers. ABOVE LEFT. STEPPING DOWN.
