Big Top Carnival Fundraisers, fun- draisers! What a frustration. Gradu- ation and other ac- tivities began to creep up on every- one. Senior parents needed an idea, one that could involve the whole student body. A CARMIVAL! All clubs and organi- zations could par- ticipate if they want- ed. Clubs such as Key Club, Yearbook, Lance, Rally, For- eign Language, and S.A.D.D. participat- ed. This fun and ex- citing success was held at the begin- ning of Spring Week, adding ex- citement to the en- tire student body and faculty. Some of the most popular booths were Dunk Tank, Jail, and the feared Flit Man. Stu- dents felt the carni- val was a big hit, and a lot of fun. They look forward to pos- sibly having an- other. Ready to fire -Tony Bun- yard prepares for re- venge on his best pal at the dunk tank. Quarterback's favorite - Angela Bivens prepares the target at the football throw. 158 - Carnival

Swishin'-n-Slamin! Two go to Europe A special event held this year, shortly after winter sports ended, was the popular slam dunk, three-point con- test. The popular win- ners were Tyrone Holmes and Mark Han- son. Behind all the ex- citement and adven- ture, the contest was a fundraiser to help send Rob Seater and Scott Heel overseas to Europe. Both Seater and Heal worked ex- tremely hard during the season to be invit- ed by the International Sports Exchange to go to Europe to play ball. It took $1800 a piece to go, and a lot suc- cessful fundraisers. Springfield High coach, Jim Fryback, chose these two play- ers and several others from AAA schools in Oregon to play on the team. Then they were off for ten exciting days. Scott Heel shoots for the hoop during the 3-point portion of the contest. Rob Seater hangs on the rim after completing his slam-dunk. Seater and Heel traveled for ten days in Europe with other talented bas- ketball players. March 18th through March 28th, of basket- ball and sightseeing. The exchange team played three games against semi-pro and Jr. national teams from Germany and Austria. Places they played were Munich, West Germany; Salz- burg, Austria; and Innsbruck, Austria. They also went sight- seeing in Italy and Switzerland. One of the biggest differences the Ameri- cans noticed were the European teams played at a slower tempo. They didn't have all of the flair of American players; they were good and strong, but still learn- ing the game. Both Rob and Scott said it was a great opportuni- ty and would do it again because of the fun. Scott replied It ws a lot of fun. 1 really en- joyed the games, but getting to different countries was great, too! We had a lot of great teammates and made some good friends. Europe was fun, but I'm glad I live in America. 160 - Slam Dunk Contest
