Everyone wishes that they would have cut out a few nights at Macs and helped more on the float. As pieces of the float are scattered about the floor, getting it together on time looks hopeless. Suddenly as if by magic all of the pieces assemble themselves and as you stand looking at the finished product you feel very proud. This year it was the junior class that felt the proudest of any. Their float, “Pirates Will Get A Head , won first place, and they found that all of their hard work was worth it. TOP LEFT: Adding finishing touches fo the first place junior float is Rick Talmadge.
