And The Winner Is . . . Rain and chaos failed to dampen senior spirit during he annuai Mini-OI- mypics. So-called organized events were the three-legged race, the wag- on race, the tug of war, and some- thing called a balloon toss which might as well have been called Soak the Principal . Yet even when the games were finished, the championship was still in doubt because of scoring errors. The Sophisticats were proclaimed the winners only to have that decision overruled and the championship awarded to the Super Babies. There was no doubt about the winner of the best costumes, the Bad Habbits clad in garters and slits reaching mid-calf, took top honors in the homeroom con- vocation. After the games were over and done, one thing was known; the Mini-Olympics proved to be one of the highlights of the seniors ' last year. It was a day to look back on and re- member for the rest of their lives. It was a day when they were stripped of their sophisticated senior title, and they re- linquished it to the juniors.

Six seniors attended a ten day Lead- ership Camp sponsored by the Lilly Company. They learned leadership in government and counseling. Beside attending camps, some stu- dents traveled out of the state and some to foreign countries. Laurie Neu represented Indiana in the Miss Cinderella Contest in New Or- leans, Louisiana.
