Senior Karen Moore said, “I was also excited to finally wear my toga.” Popular days were 50’s-60’s day, Costume day and toga day. The week began with 50’s- 60’s day. Students came dressed in poodle skirts, bobby socks, and tie-dyed shirts. Senior Tracey Ken- nedy replied, “I thought it was a wonderful, harmonious experience. Fellow brothers and sisters participated to make this day peaceful and loving. We should have more days like this, so more students can show their in- nerselves. My true innerself is a flower child and I got to dis- play it vividly. My last words are, Peace be with you and God loves you.” Costume day was the day when most students part- icipated. “I thought it was cute that we all got to dress as the Wizard of Oz and it also helped show school spirit,” commented senior Terry Baugh.

Coach Steve Tyndall yells to run faster and faster. Out of breath, Joan Smith replies, “I’m not used to all this running, I haven’t done this in years.” As practice for the Cardiacs started two weeks before the game, the mothers appeared to be a little out of shape. For some mothers, this was the first time they had ever played basket- ball. The mothers of the girls’ basketball team agreed to play against their daughters. The proceeds from the game went to pay for sweat- shirts for the team. “It was interesting but I’m glad it’s over and I'll never do it again,” observed Rebounding Rita Smith. “Tt was hilarious to see them running down the court, but we also appreciate them being out there,” commented sophomore Diane Smith. The game brought a lot of participation and hysterics from the fans. The mothers were not left without cheer- leaders. The Rocking Rah-Rahs, mothers of the cheerleaders, cheered on the Cardiacs to the finish. Cheerleader Becky Bradshaw observed, “The cheers were a little old-fashioned but it was nice to have my mom there.” The girls beat the Cardiacs 54-8. Junior Kari Townsend replied, “I had fun and I hope they do it again next year.”
