Mr. Neuenschwander is paid back by his students for last night's homework as Mr. Baggett rejoices in a virtually spotless face. All pretense of serenity which permeates McCallie's campus was delightfully shattered for at least one afternoon last fall, when the Boarding Student Council sponsored the first an- nual Frustration Friday. The brainchild of Boarding Student Council President Arch Williams, the festival was held late in Qc- tober so that it would not inter- fere with exams, yet come at a time when tensions were mount- ing. A large crowd turned out that Friday, after assembly, to observe or take part in the fes- tivities. As predicted, wop-throwing at teachers surfaced as the most popular attraction. Myriad stu- dents turned out to see their favorite teachers get a face full of shaving cream. Messrs, Steen, Webster, Royer, Neuenschwancler, Baggett, and Latham sacrificed their faces and arms to the throng of crazed, toilet paper throwing students. The joyful students rl- fled their wops mercilessly upon the helpless teachers. Fortu- nately, no teachers were seri- ously wounded. Faculty rookie Mr. Neal Neuenschwander was clearly the most popular target, and his math students were more than happy to help him feel welcome in his new home. Even after his shift, his congenial students pelted him with wops. The greased-pig contest was a thriller. Contestants in this event tried to capture the well- lubricated porker in the least amount of time, The Boarding Student Council was able to ob- tain the pig from Maintenance Crewman Charlie Britton. Wil- bur, the pig, was greased down with suntan oil, vasolin, and baby oil upon his arrival. The chasing area was saturated with water and a somewhat bewil- dered Wilbur was piaced in his home for the afternoon. When the first contestant en- tered, however, Wilbur proved that the pig is indeed the smar- test ot the barnyard animals, as he escaped into the open field. Chased by a largecrowd, Wilbur was finally cornered and re- turned to the chasing area. We really expected it to be a little harder, said official time-keep- er Cullen Browder. The longest time was about 30 secondsg the best was 3.4 seconds. Around 4:30 the whole opera- tion shut down and everyone went their separate ways. ln as- sembly the following Friday win- ners of the two contests were recognized. Chris Maclellan and Billy Pritchard finished first and second, respectively, in the greased-pig contest, while Lou Ruder was the victor and Whit Morgan the runner-up in the Frisbee toss. The Fall Frustration Festival officially concluded, leaving only the memory ot the teachers shaving cream-cow ered faces. Clad in standard pork chasing attire, Billy Pritchard prepares for his attempt for the blue ribbon.
