Juniors Triumph In Po wder Pujf' ' Game The first Powder Puff' football game between the senior girls and the junior girls ended with the game going to the juniors. After practicing for two weeks with their coaches, both teams felt they were ready, but it was found that football is a little harder to play when there is another team trying to take the ball away from you. It was a rough game but every- one played their hardest right to the end, cormnented one senior partici- pant. The game was played to build spirit for the homecoming activities. A.
