Seniors lead Juniors in a smashing 14-0 victory The annual Powder Puff game between the Seniors and the Juniors proved to be quite an exciting evening. The Seniors, coached by Greg McDaniel and Bubba Jones, lead the Juniors through the entire game to a 14-0 finish. Through most of the game pressure mounted between the two teams. Name-calling and rough playing resulted when opponents began shoving each other a little too hard. Although some bitterness formed during the game, the majority of the players silently remained friends. Juniors Chris Christman and Jim Wescott began coaching their team early this year. Football practice for the Juniors averaged from fifteen to twenty girls, while Senior practice held a record average of five girls. Due to lack of Senior interest, rumors of canceling the game were spread. This caused many to be disap- pointed. Funny as it may seem fifteen Senior girls showed up to practice an hour before the game started. SENIOR BRENDA CARMINES heads for a touchdown while Dianne Watkins guards against Junior opponents. CHEERLEADERS WESLEY STEVENS and Ed Cam show Senior enthusiasm in rooting tor their team during the Senior-Junior Powder Putt game. FAWN JOHNSON PUNTS in an effort to score points for the Juniors.

EXASPERATED FROM PLAYING, Jim Hines, Craig Stallings, and Conley Wallace rest briefly before getting back into the game. FRESHMAN LAURIE BOOTH seems to be enjoying the music and activities at the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. Sadie Hawkins Day 72, with the annual “girls chase boy” routine, proved to be quite an exciting affair. This is the time of the year when the so-called timorous girl makes her capture by branding the man of her choice with a patch requesting other girls to “keep their hands off.” The most common scene this year was that of a swarm of five to eight girls standing in the hall. When an appealing guy passed by, they made their kill by leaping on him, and the first to “patch” had the “catch.” Of course, there were always the sly fellows who stayed near the men’s rest room, so they could make their daring get away. A dance was held in the gymna- sium honoring Sadie Hawkin ' s Day, ending the day’s festivities. Unfortunately, for the girls, Sadie Hawkin’s Day finally passed by. With a sigh of relief the boys once again could retain their manly instincts and walk with safety down the hallway to their classes.

Many changes invade this year’s Miss Poquoson High Pageant The first Miss PHS pageant in two years was marked with many changes. The contestants were no longer entered by their classes but entered themselves. Along with the changes were the opening number and the sponsoring of the pageant by the band boosters. The theme of this year’s pageant was “I Enjoy Being A Girl”. Evening gown, talent and sportswear competition were among a few of the events which highlighted the pageant. Contestants were asked to vote on the contestants who had been most helpful, friendly, and kind. The outcome of the vote was unanimous and Cheryl Holloway received the Miss Congeniality award. Karen Bryant received the talent award as well as the title of Miss PHS. Inga Himelright received 2nd runner- up and Sandra Pride received 1st runner-up. Despite new changes and hard practice the pageant proved a very entertaining event.
