There was quite a bit of controversy over some of the changes Student Council made in the rules for the 1980 Bike Race. However, this did not keep 17 determined teams from racing the 50 laps as they tried to gain possession of the traveling trophy for one year. Senior Carol Frischkorn, chairperson of last year’s bike race, along with the rules committee, helped to estab- lish new rules for the race. For example new pit rules were made, the course was run in a new clockwise direction, and a two-lap handicap was given for every female member on a team. With an eight-lap handicap, the allfemale team of the “Little Scottas” flew past the finish line just a half a lap in front of the all-male “Weekend Warriors. The “Little Scottas” included sophomores Sally Feick, Joann Hendrix, Dawn Puterbaugh, junior Diana Cartwright, and senior Julie Hall. The “Weekend Warriors” were juniors Gregg Koons, Dave Templin, Eric Wilkinson and senior Bryan Kerrigan. Junior Tracey Harris was voted as queen of the Bike Race and graduate Chris Haisley, king. “All right you guys, just what does ‘Little Scottas’ mean?” Senior Brian Kerrigan pleads with the members ot the winning team to let him in on their little secret. ‘Testing 1, 2, 3 .’ After checking out the system. Mr. Phil Carey announces the starting positions of the teams in the bike race. The agony ot “defeat, de head, de arms, and de legs is demonstrated by senior Mary Flournoy as she recovers from her part in the race. Teammate Tracy Johnson, senior, and Mrs. Jo Thomas keep track of their team’s progress for her. Student Life 9

Buying a formal and renting a tux. Ordering flowers and planning parties. Getting a bid and making dinner reservations. These, along with a few other details, come together to make up the annual event called ‘Prom.' ‘Paragon’ was the featured band at last year’s prom which was attended by 153 couples. Multi-colored streamers, a glowing rainbow, and a pale-blue, star-covered background aided in carrying out the theme of ‘Colour My World.' Graduate Theresa Brown was crowned queen of the 1980 Prom with fellow graduates Therese Manning, Melodee Kennedy, Judy Cos-sart, and Jerilyn Fennell serving as her court. One of the other highly-memorable evenings of last spring (especially in the minds of the seniors) was graduation. 314 seniors went through the awe-inspiring ‘changing-of-the-tassel’ celebration. This symbolized the ending of twelve long years of homework, tests, and studying and should have left everyone with a feeling of glad ness, yet many were in tears. 'We've Only Just Begun’ was established as the theme for last year's graduation with the three valedictorians being Jane Gilkison, Nila McDaniel, and Brenda Oakley. Jane, Nila, and Brenda as well as Jon Vanderhill were the student speakers for the evening’s proceedings which were again held in Ball State’s Emen's Auditorium. Sitting pretty and almost ready to go is senior Jenny Crim as she completes the last part of her pre-prom preparations. ‘Proud as a peacock' is Bret Newkirk as he receives his diploma and walks off stage as a high school graduate.
