Rain and Wipeouts Pronounce Field Day “All Washed Up” Thirty-seven five-year olds, skinned knees, and burlap sacks, were a few things in store for student helpers and kids on field day. “Field day is canceled!” The news spread like gossip. Rainy weather had been ignored in hopes that field day would or could be held “in the gym.” Students had left books at home and homework unfin- ished. Monday arrived only to find the seniors would be late be- cause of a “Hamlet” test. The juniors and sophmores had their hands full setting up. The enjoyment of the kids was obvious. There were at least four hanging on to your hands or shirt, which by the end of the day was a “one size fits all.” All, at the same time that is. There were moments of pain and defeat. Sliding stops were popular in the scooter race. The 40-yard dash had its share of close finishes. By noon the excitement had died down. The field was clear, and the sound of laughing kids was faint, but the memory of the wipe out was still vivid, just as vivid as the blue of the ribbon with your name on it. After a first poor throw at the lire, the second hits the mark guaranteeing a blue ribbon. Grant Geyer gives Ken Kennedy a final push while Joey Bauldree and Adam Rog- ers work to straighten their scooter. Field Day 189
