Senior wins tricycle race for a fourth year Faculty Claims Day The faculty has finally managed to clinch a surprising victory over their pupils at the Devilmania games. Although the faculty won, it was a close race throughout the day. Faculty won with 50-Vi points, but the seniors were close with 43- 2 points. Sophomores were third with 38 points, juniors were fourth with 26-' 2 points, and the fresh- men came in last with 21- 2 points. This year two games were added to the schedule. Basketball and trivial pursuit were played along with some of the nor- mal games like the lip-sync contest and the 3-legged race. This was the first year that the banana-split eating contest did not take place. Faculty placed first in the lip-sync con- test, trivial pursuit, tug-of-war, softball and volleyball. Seniors placed first in poster decorations, tricycle race, basket- ball shooting, pyramid building, and jump rope. Sophomores were first in the walk, 3-legged race, and the egg toss. Fresh- men and juniors did not place first in any events. Senior Tony Abercrombie became a four-time champion in the tricycle race. Tony credits his winning to the tricycle. “It is all in the tricycle, the large front tire gave me traction.” He went on to say that his backward handlebar techique played an important role in his four victories. At the end of the games, the students and faculty were treated to hot dogs and pop. “I feel very disappointed that we did not win,” said Senior Michelle Hughes.

Peters, Beasley crowned at Homecoming Devils Stage Comeback “It wasn't long enough,” explained Ju- nior Julie Kastrick, “The game got over too late.” This phrase was the most often expressed about this year’s homecoming. The game was not completed until 10:00 pm. Once students ventured home and put the finishing touches on dressing up, time had already passed quickly. The Homecoming game did not start very promising. On the opening kickoff, a Gretna Dragon ran the ball back for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. A tremendous rally lifted the devils to a 17-14 comeback win. The thrilling game capped off an entire week of activities. Spirit week featured nerd day, Hawaiian day, pajama day, blue and white day and dress up day. Thursday night marked the 2nd annual bonfire sponsored by the booster club. Students gathered at the end of main street and followed the ‘dragon’ to the bonfire site. The dragon was tossed in the fire and burned. Friday, students were dismissed at noon for the devilmania games. Faculty defeated the highly favored seniors. De- vilmania was a lot of fun, even though the seniors should have beaten the teach- ers,” said Senior Kirsten Kolhof. Cheerleaders, drill team members and athletes voted on candidates for home- coming. Seniors Troy Ferdig, David Klan- ecky, Bob Combs, David Peters, Chad Hart, Patty Baker, Heather Giles, April Beasley, Kelly Ogle and Roxi Bradway were voted candidates. The student body voted David Peters and April Beasley homecoming king and queen. Candidates tor homecoming (bottom row), Troy Ferdig. David Klanecky, Bob Combs.
