lUU ' 13 5: Having fun at all costs, many Patriots joined together to com- pete in the games and contests held on ac- tivities night Thursday, November 15. These games and con- tests included the ever popular three-legged race and the sack race. The piggy-back race and the caterpillar race got amusing reactions from the crowd. Tug-of-v ar and the first time pie- throw were also major events at Activities Night. However, the high- light of the evening to many was the Miss Patriot contest. I en- joyed the Miss Patriot contest the best because On the run, |iiniors Kim Holiman and Browning Naele race to the finish line in the piggy-back race. Sticking together through thick and thin, seniors Lisa Soblit and |ohn Aker feel the after affects of cream pie. Determined to beat the odds, sopho Dana Wilson races against the other teams in the sack race. Having fun at all cosi it ' s funny to watch the guys strut their stuff, says junior Stefani Newmark. Tom Pan- crats, of Deca, the win- ner of the Miss Patriot contest, caught the judges ' eyes by showing off a little skin and blowing kisses to the crowd. The overall win- ner was the senior team 12. Although not every- one was a winner, all those who joined in the adventures of activities night had a super time and everyone, with the exception of the graduating seniors, is already looking forward to the Activities Night events of next year. 40 ACTIVITIES NIGHT
