'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.

Juniors Fire U or 'I' Future Practice makes perfect! That was the theme of the junior squad during the preceding weeks before the Powderpuff game of l98l. The juniors drilled and drilled themselves morning, noon, and night to help increase their chances of defeating the seniors. They practiced every day in the afternoon for an hour and a half, trying to perfect their of- fense and defense. Their coaches, Mr. Bill Bimat and Mr. Pat Mellon, felt that the juniors had a good chance of winning. Unfortunately, the odds were against the junior teamg the juniors had won only twice in the fifteen-year history of Powderpuff football at North High. This year proved no different, as the seniors won against the tough junior squad. The game got off to a fast start for the seniors, with two quick touchdowns for a 12-0 lead. After halftime the juniors came back fired up, and brought the game closer by scoring a touchdown. From then on, to the end of the game, the score remained 12-6 with the sen- iors in the lead. The juniors were upset but knew they had put up a good fight, and expressed determination that next year the tradi- tion wouldn't changeg that next year this year's juniors will win as seniors. 28fJunlor Powderpuff 'N-A an it QQ
