Together they TA- Af WORK TO RIAISEI THE LIIYIIT SR. MIKE ROBERTS adds a final letter to the senior float. Mike was one of only a few members of the senior class who worked on the float. THE SENIOR FLOAT gets extra attention from this police officer who keeps a watchful eye over it before the start of the parade Friday afternoon. Mike Martin 1 6 8 Seniors Take it to the Lirnitln This was the Homecoming theme, but what kind of float could be made from that theme? That was the question that perplexed the senior float committee. How could they take it to the limit? Sr. Sara Early came up with the idea for the float. When they announced the theme, I thought a speed limit sign would be a good ideaf' said Sara. Her idea inspired the float's design. The speed limit sign, which took two days to build, had a big red line through the numbers N557 The new speed limit was UST, in blue and green. To build the float they cut the frame out of wood, covered it with chicken wire, and then stuffed it with kleenex. They cut the number and letters out of black paper and taped them on. The other numbers were cut out of the appropriate colors of blue and green. Finally they took blue paper and wrote the words To Serve and Pro- tect,', and placed them on the side of the truck. The words symbolized those seen on the side of a police car. After all this work, it was finally ready for the parade. By the end of the parade their creativity showed a lack of stability. The numbers and letters were falling off, leaving the meaning of the float unclear.

W Wi Wi. -f Giving meaning to YOUNG LIVES I had a lot of trouble before I became involved. My whole life has changed, and I have better relationships with my friends and family. Young Life gives me some- thing to hold on to. This statement, made by Sr. Monte Montgomery, showed the powerful impact a group of Christian students working together could make on one person,s life. Young Life was a nationwide organization dedicated to making our generation more aware of Christ. Young Life was not a closed religious group. Anyone who wanted to have fun was welcomed. Monday nights with Young Life were sometimes pretty crazy. Some of their activities included a banana split eating contest and a Monday night Bronco party. Many of the group's members eagerly looked forward to the Young Life camps offered twice a year. The camp in Malibu, Canada was where most of the members could be found in the winter. It was a highlight of the club's activities. Young Life members also held serious discussions. To- pics dealt mostly with people accepting Christ as their personal savior. Sr. Todd Bole said, 'gYou get to talk about things you normally don't get to talk aboutf' The group that was offered to Overland students was led by John Hartle. Hartle said, 'Students who attend donft have to accept what we talk about. We want them to be accepted for themselves, not for what they dofl tw 1',AN ' Mike Marlin A RAIN GUTTER filled with bananas, ict. cream, whipping cream, and cherries is the cen- ter ofattcntion at the October l3th Young Life meeting.
