WHO SAID WINNING WAS FUN?! If there is time that a class pulls togeth- er as one, it’s during the Spring Spectacu- lar class games. All the classes come to compete and show their class spirit. Matches chosen included the fiercely competitive tug-of-war. The Sophomore class beat the Freshman. Seniors lost by forfeit for mobbing Junior Doug Ganhs, just as the Juniors began to pull ahead. The Seniors were disqualified during the event, which knocked them out of any chance of taking a top ranking. In another game, Sophomores Dela Roosevelt and Diallo McAbee bunny-hopped to victory with a perfectly synchronized run in the three-legged-race. Slurping up face fulls of whipped cream in an effort to find an elusive jellybean, class officers and spon- Tugging for the sophomores, Sandy Hein buck, Doug Moore, Kristi Stroh, Samantha Harris, Jason King, Kris Parker, Don Wahl, Terri Lloyd, Alycia sots provided a messy spectacle to the rest of the school, in a third game. What fun to see school leaders participate in the action! Another competition, the egg race was a sight to watch, as students from each class rolled an egg from one end of the gym to the other, with their noses. Whether the egg stayed in one piece, or broke apart, the participants still continued to roll the eggs to the finish. Freshman, Sherri Hubbard proved she could manage the task, even with a very mangled egg. The scores tallied up at the end showed the Freshmen coming in first with the score of 4, Juniors 3, Seniors 2, and the Sophomores 1.

Obviously using her nose for more things than smelling, Andrea DreUick, with great skill, tries to get her egg to the finish line. 6 Spring Spectacular

Here’s what the Big Reds were up to during their spare time. A student poll revealed that the single most popular pastime this year was sports. Fifty-nine percent of students polled were involved in a sport: either a traditional, team- oriented sport like football or a more individual, less competitive sport like roller skating. More men than women played sports, making up 59% of sports participants. Men were also more inclined to be involved in team sports (particularly football and basketball) than women, who seemed to prefer more individual sports (skating was often noted). Less popular than sports but even more widespread was exer- cise. Eighty-one percent of stu- dents engage in some form of exer- cise. Reasons for doing so vary: 71% of men and 56% of women listed staying in shape; enjoyment was noted by 25% of men and 36% of women; and 7% thought it For co-op credit, Karrie Jones works with the bookkeeper counting the deposits submitted by school groups after their fund raisers.

Out-of-town shopping was also a favorite, with 45% traveling outside of Port Huron regularly to bargain-hunt. Forty-three percent enjoyed a movie at least once a month; 28% were in some kind of extracurricular club or organiza- tion. Attending parties also ranked high on many lists, with 27% expressing their approval for this particular form of entertainment. ALF, Alexis and Dr. Huxtable held their own, with 20% listing television as a favorite recreation. Role-playing games also had quite a following: 15% said they play such a game often. In fact, role- playing beat out cruising (which had 4%), video games and skateboarding (with 6% each). We got a few rather unique re- sponses. One person listed karate as his favorite activity. Another was into remote-controlled cars. And one individual reportedly got his kicks from . . . cutting the grass! Doesn’t that just tickle your fancy! copy by jo clute As one pastime, some Big Reds, like senior Kevin Sanderson, took to their wheels for cruisin ’ town on the weekends. Mail had to be sorted and Wanda Rucker spent part of her time on the job getting magazines ready for the teachers. LAYOUT DESIGN BY TINA CARROLL STUDENT LIFE DIVISION 5
