'W HV I' ii Seniors Take it Away -t. On November 25, 1981, World War III took place onthe North High football field. The occasion was that of the an- nual Powderpuff game with the seniors against the juniors. The seniors were so sure that they were going to win that they even announced a victory dance before the game had been played. Skilled coaches and many supporters helped the seniors to win the game. Mr. McGill, who contributed a lot of energy and time, was the seniors' MIS r Powdernuff coach. Brent Mixon helped to coach the offensive line along with Kyle Buntley, while Robert Boyles helped coach the defensive line. Practice was held every morning at 7:00. The seniors psyched themselves up for the game. About thirty minutes before the game, Mr. McGill had all the sen- ior players lie down on their backs on the floor and not utter a sound! After a short time, they arose, and roared off to the field, ready to stomp the juniors. The seniors had some fantastic play- ers. Brandi .lackson and Jan Bowles were excellent on defense. Luann Sweet, Caren Burt, and Judy Alesso were great on offense. The first senior touchdown was scored by Luann Sweet on a hand-off from Elaine Winchester. Then Elaine scored the second touch- down herself. At the end of the game the score was 12-6 with the seniors savoring victory. Afterward, the sen- iors had their victory dance, as they had predicted.
