There were over 500 people at the activities and everything ran pretty much on schedule. As usual, the spectators lined the west bank of the Little Arkansas, while students over- populated the east bank. By the end of the evening, many of the people had begun to look like river rats. When it was over, for unless one was careful, nearly every- one had had one or two unexpected dips in the river. After the events were over, the crowd headed on to the carnival to finish off the evening. All in all, the water festival meant a few absences in classes the next day from colds, but the good times and excitement will long be remembered. 1. Powerful paddlin takes juniors Helen Taylor and jim Harpenau to first place in mixed doubles at the water festival. 2. Giving a couple of friends an unexpected dip in the muddy Arkansas seniors Tom Edwards, Bob Wheeler and Scott Cotton get the last laugh I 3. Pulling in earnest, the sophomores fall to the juniors, who also overpow- ered the seniors. 4. Running close, the two teams battle for the finish in the four man canoe race. 5. Thg water festival being the only one of its kind, always draws a good crow . 6. After the races and other class competitions, it's time to kick back and enjoy the floats designed and built by students.
