Snowblast Boosts School Spirit Did you ever wonder who could yell the loudest? For Snowblast, kids got a chance to try out their voices. Rick Lud- wig of Carolyn Karl’s team took first place with a bellow of +6 decibles. Yell Like Hell was an event added to Snowblast 84, of which Mr. Wollerman was originator and organizer. 22 teams were registered with more teacher par- ticipation than ever. Val Potratz’s Snowblast team cap- tured first place with 84 points. There was a tie for second place of 77 points between captains Walter Williams and Julie Akin. Third place went to Sarah Green's team with 73 points. Brian Salzer, Tom Wissink, Troy Dur- kee, Don Lemkuil, and Sarah Green all felt that the Innertube Slide down Gar- bage Hill was the best event of Snowb- last. According to Tom Wissink, “‘it felt mushy- everybody was squished fto- gether.” “It was a little scary at first, concluded Sarah Green. Sue Weyen- berg felt that the Yell Like Hell was the best event. ‘It was interesting to get up and see how loud | could yell, but it was sort of embarrassing.” The pyramid building was the favorite event of Vicki Miller. “it felt cold and wet.’’ Paul Leh- man thought that the tobbogun run was the best event because, “It was wet and exhilarating.’’ Dave Ehlke felt that the Log Saw was the best event, even though it was “a little tiring.” Sue Weyenberg joined a Snowblast team because she had fun on Snowb- last last year. She thought that Snowb- last ‘“‘encouraged school spirit.” Don Lemkuil thought that joining a Snowb- last team would be “a good time.” Vicki Miller joined a Snowblast team because, “| wanted to be with my friends.” , “Snowblast is a good idea because it made noon hours a little less boring,” concluded Don Lemkuil. er he
