Sunland’s Boothes Give Fall A Facelift Moonwalk Becomes the Big Money- Maker Knock, knock. “Excuse me, but could I borrow a couple of strong boys to help set up.” This could be heard all day as Mrs. Martha Sapp was trying to get everyone and everything ready by 5:30. Setting up this year was a little easier because of booths and games borrowed from Sun- land, Inc. of Marianna. Every- one had their fingers crossed and prayed that the rain would cease before nightfall. It looked hopeless, but after a while it did stop. It was a wonderful evening and everyone especially en- joyed a new attraction — the Moon Walk which was provid- ed by the Kindergarten classes. They were the leading money- makers for the evening. The Booster Club’s annual pilau and hamburger suppers provided par- ents an option to cooking. The M M Guess sponsored by the Beta Club was won by Cody Vanlandingham who guessed 1988. At the Cake Walk Juniors played M.C. on the microphone. There wasn’t a talent show this year, but the new attractions seemed to fill the void. The kindergarten's addition of a Moon- walk to the Fall Carnival's attractions ap- pealed to many students and was one of the largest money makers of the evening. Assisting the girls with their fishing gear, Matt Bell works the fith grades fish pond under the supervision of the teachers and parents. Fall Carnival 31

It Happens! When You Look The Wrong Way Whether its breaking your pen- cil during a big test or totaling four mother’s car, it happens, iveryone has experienced some tvpe of mishap. Accidents were placed on earth to build character through pain, suffering, and hu- miliation. They come in every size, from Mrs. McKeown’s broken little toe, to Angel Whiddon’s smashed car. Athletic injuries topped the chart of causes, with Katie Pointevint, who as a result of her astounding gymnastics, had ankle and knee injuries, and David Gregg, who broke his arm in a confrontation on the football field. The most dangerous type of accident usually involved au- tomobiles. Mary Katherine Gregory’s was in Tallahassee. This was not her fault since a reckless driver pulled out, and she had no time to avoid the col- lision. Fortunately, everyone was wearing a seatbelt and. no one was injured. Another victim of reckless driving was Bill Higdon. As Bill was leaving an intersection, an- other car ran the red light and smashed into the front left side of his Mustang. The fifth grade’s trip to Tifton ended in the emergency room for some when a driver coming to- ward the row of returning Agrirama “farmers” hydroplaned into its lane as they traveled South. No matter what you are doing, or where you are, accidents hap- pened when you least expected them. During the play-offs for Prep League, ref- eree Coach Morris stops the game to at- tend to Pat Thomas Insurance player, Ma- ry Hilliard McMillan. The brotherhood of the football team is shown as John Charles Harnett comforts David Gregg after he sustained a broken arm in the game against Chattahoochee. Arcidents £’ 33
