MAKING A SPLASH Sunshine, a pool, and lots of food. These things combined to make the senior barbeque a fun-filled event. On Thursday, June 5th, the seniors gathered at the home of Erin Craig to enjoy a swim and barbeque. Yet, as they arrived they became unsuspecting victims to a group of bandits whose mission was to throw everyone there into the pool - at least once. Only six seniors were able to avoid being thrown into the pool. Eventually, the commotion subsided as the steaks began to be served. Along with steak there was plenty of food to choose from, such as baked potates, salad, rolls, dessert and a variety of drinks. After eating many headed back to the pool, either using the slide, doing flips or just lounging in the sun. The attire for the occasion was strictly casual, students wore either shorts or swim suits. Meanwhile Mr. Pisan and Mr. Fitzpatrick came wearing three- piece suits, perhaps as protection against an unwanted swim in the pool. The barbeque was a chance for seniors to relax during the hectic graduation week ac- tivities, and was enjoyed by all. Catching the crowd on Poloroid is class pho- tographer Penny Peckenpaugh. Penny was able to get everyone to smile with her amusing antics. Enjoying a dip in the water are Debbie Jacky, Steve Barger, and Ruth Paugstat. The question was. did they go in by choice, or have a little help? Laughing as yet another classmate is tossed into the pool arc Greg Barkcc, Tom Gardner, Mike Mollo, Rob Cox and Doug Mauch. Even this group of innocent looking guys was responsible for a few toss-ins. 180-Senior Barbeque
