Sophomores win Water Festival, Shelden, Sorrell named Tower royality Ignoring warnings of rain that threatened to cast a damper over the buzzing crowd of spirited north-enders lined along both banks of the Little Arkansas, the Sophomore Class proceed- ed to sweep the annual Water Festival. After the coronation of Tower Royalty Jana Sorrell and Stan Sheldon, the events commenced. Outscoring the Seniors by 11Vz points and thejuniors by 25, for a total of 94 V2, 83, and 69 Vz respectively, the Sophomore Class won the overall com- petition for the first time in many years of this traditionally senior-dominated event. Of the few who competed from the Freshman Class, they earned a total of nine points. In the canoe races, the seniors opened a lead over the second place juniors by winning three of the first five canoe Q l , 1 , is ,. Q, , lf' f' ami'- races. The sophomores, however, splash- ed their way back into contention by winning four of the last six races. By beating the seniors in the boys tug of war, the sophomores took first place in the overall competition. For all of the minor bruises and abra- sions that were acquired at the festival, it was hard to tell the winners from the losers. However, onlookers from the banks could tell that the wet and wound- ed participants were more concerned with competing than winning. As darkness descended upon the tired but anxious crowd, the floats were being manned and prepared for a journey down the Arkansas River. With a replica of a race car, the auto mechanics class took first place in the competition. The Sophomore Class float won second and Bible Club won third. ,. ,..,, .....
