Classes Battle For First What a crazy, mixed-up, wacky, fun week it wasf, What could this be? Why, Homecoming week, of course! The highlight of the week came on Wednes- day - class competitions! Class against class, battling it out to the end to see who would be Number One. The first competition was the belly- bucking contest, won by the seniors. Next came the pyramid. Each class, after coutless tries, failed. The juniors came soooo close but could not get the top person on their pyramid. Then after careful preparation, the seniors built their pyramid and won. After also win- ning the tug-of-war, the seniors had built a commanding lead. The twenty man clone race was the next event. Each member of a team had to have his leg tied to another member of his team. For some strange reason, all teams had a hard time standing up. The juniors and the seniors were the only ones to cross the finish line fbut the juniors crossed it on their hands and knees.j Again the seniors claimed an- other victory. The wheelbarrow race was next, with the presidents of each class pushed around the track. The juniors won this competition easily. However, the sen- iors were the ones to leave with the overall victory. 22fClass Competition V. Y Bw B, V, fw 4 ,A ' ar 1 '..f 5 if -6
