For the second time in Lancer history the Seniors have swept the powderpuff title for two consecutive years. As traditi on would have it the crowd enjoyed the hilar- ious antics of the Junior and Senior guys as they attempted to imitate the cheerleaders. After much preparation and sweat the girls were given their final pep talks by the coaches. Todd McCarthy, Mike Davis, Chris Tapscott, and Greg Hamill coached the Juniors. Greg Taylor, Mike Pollard, Glenn Dubiel, and Hans Jensen led the Sen- iors. Another revived tradition was the Pow- derpuff court announced at halftime. Ju- niors and Seniors nominated their choices for representatives and the Seniors voted on their king. The Junior representatives wer Todd McCarthy, Gary Steele, Mike Sturtz, D avid Zier, and Doug Zehner. Wayne Noel, Scott Crews, Bill Gillette, and Kenny Mason ended up as the Senior princes. The excite- ment hit a climax as Hans Jensen was crowned Powderpulf King. The evening ended with a final shut-out victory of 28-0. Everyone who participated enjoyed th game. Senior Mike Mills commented, “' thought the girls played aspectacular game, and being co-captain of the cheerleaders added to the excitement of our victory.” Powderpuff 13

Getting ready, Prom servers await the incoming crowd. Forever By My Side For Juniors and Seniors the important night came on May the Ninth. Prom began the last phase of Senior school activities, but for the Juniors in attendance it was a new beginning. The evening began as the couples en- joyed delicious meals at places such as the Marriot, the Sheraton, the Ramada Renais- sance, the Tobacco Company, and Crab Louie's. The musical entertainment was provided by the Magnetics who played top 40 songs. Finally, after a long wait, the Prom Figure began. When Kristie Bishop and Lori Bla- sioli announced the start, participants rushed to find their escorts. They began to form the three symbolic figures of a heart, a “M and ‘87 to honor the graduating class. Following the completion of the figure, Prom King and Queen were announced. Joe Guth and Cindy Shelton reigned over the crowd. The theme ‘‘Forever By My Side” will al- ways be remembered by the countless pic- tures taken. As the evening came to a close, talk revolved around parties, the beach, and early morning breakfasts. The Junior class gave the Seniors a prom to remember as the night will never be for- gotten.
