Seniors capture top position in annual Bear Frolics contest To kick off the month of May, the Northwest Student Senate sponsored the annual Bear Frolics. Tickets were sold for 25 cents to students during both lunches and before and after school. The proceeds went to Student Senate. In overall competition, the senior class received first place honors with a score of 22 points, closely followed by the juniors in se- cond plce with 21 points. The sophomore class came in third place with a score of 13 points. The events included the 8-legged race which consisted of two teams of seven peo- ple whose legs were tied together forming an 8-legged competition. There were races for women in which the seniors took first place, followed by the juniors in second and the sophomores in third. In the men's races, the juniors came out on top, followed by the seniors and last the sophomores, and the mixed races in which the juniors came out winners over the second placed sophomores and third placed seniors. One of the messier events was the egg toss where two people tossed an egg back and forth until it broke. The seniors and juniors tied in this event for first place leaving the sophomores to take second. The final event was the men's and women's tug-of-war. In the men's category, the seniors defeated the sophomores and third place juniors. The seniors also came in first in the women's tug-of-war in which the juniors came in se- cond followed by the struggling sophomores. Many of the events were cancelled because of lack of time such as the relays, rickshaw races and the chariot races. Overall, the seniors were victorious over the juniors and sophomores. Most all students. participated in the afternoon events which caused the popular success of the annual Bear Frolics competition. Even though every student did not attend the event, the ones that did, brought everyone there together as not three classes competition against each other, but as one group taking part in school pride and spirit. -Craig Clark S'

United Way Drive, Carnival raise money for groups, club Major fund-raising activities for Northwest students centered around the an- nual United Way drive and the all-school Carnival. Monies raised from the drives went to benefit local agencies and school clubs and organizations. For the first time in six years, the Northwest students did not win first place in the United Way Fund Drive among the city high schools. East High captured first place honors and was followed by North for second place. Northwest students con- tributed SL649 for the annual charity drive. The week-long drive was filled with fun and exciting events involving student par- ticipation. Such activities included class competitions, spirit chains, M 84 M guess, and a special Anything Goes Assembly. Senior Rodger Clark was named the first Miss Grizzly in a humorous beauty pageant involving contestants from each of the three classes and faculty. The seniors won the most number of points in the various com- petitions during the Anything Goes Assembly. The all-school Carnival provided a chance for different school clubs and organizations to be active and earn money at the same time. The annual event was sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Crowds of students filled the gymnasium ready for an evening of fun and games with friends and family. Booths included a cake walk, basketball throw, jail, pie throw, male dancers, ping pong throw, soccer kicks, balloon break and foods of all kinds. Each booth offered prizes to winners. Creativity and imagination was definitely present amidst the sixth annual all-school Carnival. -Genelle Neal a M . H , I , , ' ' V .
