Competition Spurs Cagers On Competition was tough during Tournament Week at Powers. The classes were at a peak rivalry in their fight to determine the superior grade. The battle was fought in the maze of hallways and the only neu- tral zone was the staircases. Each class chose a theme and carried it into the decorations for their hall. The faculty judges seemed caught in the cross-fire, but they were ste- adfast in their decision that the sen- ior hall was victorious. The seniors captured the title with such charac- ters as Compton Crunch, Reese Krispies, and Walker Wheaties. Hopefully, the hallway competition and high spirits helped spur the Chargers on in their fantastic tour- nament performance.

Spring week was an ideal opportunity for the student body to unwind. Restlessness is a common disease with most students when it comes to studying in the springtime. To break the monotony, a week was set aside sosthat pleasure could be blended with studies. The week was filled with extracurricular activities. Monday started with wrist wrestling matches during lunch, which continued throughout the week. On Friday, strength and strategy was put to the true test while the finalists duelled it out at the all-school assem- bly. The four classes were given the chance to prove their competency in various contests such as the penny push and the balloon dance. Who the winners are, were of little importance to anyone. Other events on the agenda were grub day, the faculty vs. stu- dents basketball game, and CI favorite of all, senior slave day. Spring week provided many challenges and a lot of laughs for everyone. The many activities supplied the students with an outlet for that contagious disease - Spring fever! Activities 8 I
