Class of ' 75 comes in second again The Class of ’75 pushed forward to capture the barrel for the first year, but didn’t succeed. They received a total of 42 points at the Mardi Gras assembly which put them in third place. The Juniors won first place in the apple bobbing and last in the tug of war, beat even by the Frosh. The Junior triumph was the cart race during the half time at the football game. They had a little help though. They rented the winning cart of the Senior Class of ’73. There was even a guarantee that if they didn’t win, they wouldn’t have to pay the rent money. Their cart won first place and was ahead of all the other classes by 25 yards. In the wall competition, the Juniors followed the theme, Edgar Allen Poe, by building a wall featuring “The Rave,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” “The Premature Burial,” and Edgar Allen Poe himself. There was a mysterious event which happened after the Sophomores won the barrel. It disappeared! All fingers point to the Northern Nine, who were mostly Juniors. After paying the ransom, the Sophomores finally got it back. The Juniors were de- termined to get the barrel at any cost but didn’t succeed.

the way to victory At the Mardi Gras Dance when the winning class was announced, screams of joy and excitement spread through the crowd. Sophomores’ dreams had become a reality for the first time. It all started in the assembly when the Class of ’76 began on the right foot by winning the tricycle race and the three- legged race. The pie-eating event was ex- citing. President Anne Bonadio’s pie fell on the stage, and, before you knew it, she was down on her knees eating. The wall was a surprising success. All went well until the guillotine from their wall, “The Pit and the Pendulum,” cracked from too much voltage. The backdrop was another problem. They had to transport it on a little trailer going about ten miles an hour; then when they tried to hang it up, it broke! As a result, they ended up chalking the backdrop, and despite all the problems, the Sopho- more class came up on top. TOP: “Where ' s his head? question four amused Sophomores. MIDDLE: A little less play and a little more work is Sophomore philosophy. LOWER RIGHT: Becky Rome, Sophomore court nominee, is escorted by Tim Hickey at the football game. 25
