11: pv' EGYPT: On October 6, 1981, as Presi- dent Anwar Sadat of Egypt and a large number of his cabinet were watching Egypt's Armed Forces Day Parade, four men in military uniforms jumped from a jeep and began throwing grenades and firing automatic weapons. President Sadat's resulting death shocked the world and threatened to disrupt the already shaky peace in the Middle East. The captured assassins were identified as Islamic fundamentalists opposed to Sadat's overtures to Israel and the West. .gl Y 'iw 34 X Events Ile m,,ew 1 - Pam Boyette practices life-saving techniques on Annie, 2 - Under the supervision of CPR Instruc- tor Debbie Henzler, Warren Williams searches for the pressure point on the model's neck. 2 4-

as A .,,. p Xl: , The Buck Stops Here! The Lee County Sheriff's Posse Arena was full of spirit and excitement on December 4 and 5 when the North Fort Myers Chapter of the F.F.A. sponsored their annual rodeo. Cowboys and cowgirls from all over Southwest Florida gathered to compete for prizes in different events. Bareback Riding was a popular event for both males and females. To qualify, all contestants had to ride for 8 seconds from the time the horse left the Chute. The main difference was that girls were allowed to use either one or two hands to grip the rope, while boys were restricted to one. Any rider was disqualified if his or her hand touched the animal. Team Roping called for real cooperation between a pair of riders. The team was on- ly allowed three throws, and time was taken when the steer was roped, head and heels, and both horses faced the steer with ropes dallied and tight. Barrel Racing and Poles were exciting events for the ladies. Riders and their steeds raced against the clock as they ex- ecuted the necessary patterns in the cor- rect sequence. A knocked over barrel or pole cost the rider a 5 second penalty. Only the bravest cowboys entered the Bull Riding competition. They were al- lowed to hold on with only one hand and had to ride for at least 8 seconds to qualify. If the rider touched himself, the animal, or the equipment with his free hand, he was disqualified. Raging, bucking, and twisting, these giant animals did their best to rid themselves of their unwelcome burdens. In Goat Tying, a goat was secured to a stake 100 feet from the starting line. A cowgirl on horseback raced the distance, dismounted, and threw the goat, tying three of its legs together. The legs had to remain crossed and secure for 6 seconds. The final event of the rodeo was Steer Decorating. It involved a pair of con- testants and a steer. The obj-ect was for one of the pair to hold the steer by its horns, while his partner tied a ribbon to its tail. The rodeo was a tremendous undertak- ing for North's F .F.A but well worth the ef- fort. Intrepid cowboys and cowgirls pitted their skills against seemingly insurmoun- table odds to thrill and delight the audience. ,df W, 3 1 - At full gallop, Tracy Cannon and her horse executed the complicated pattern in Pole Racing. 2 - Team Roping requires lots of patience and coordination as Arcadia cowboys, Tom and Iohn Lipe, demonstrated at the F.F.A.

Assorted Flavors of Life Savers On October 28 and 29, sixty students participated in a CPR course. The course lasted four hours and was given by three paramedics, Richard Burgquist, Bob Macko, and a North High graduate, Debbie Henzler. ' During the course, the proper methods of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation used on heart attack vic- tims were demonstrated and practiced. The students were required to take a written test and CPR technique exam using the mannequin, An- nie. Sixty students participated in the course and fifty-six became certified. Two other participants had already received their certification before the course was offered to North High students. Towards the end of the CPR course, the par- ticipating students were shown methods of reviv- ing a choking victim. Students who participated in the course are able to take care of any emergency situation and would definitely be a safe date on any weekend.
