While haze Engulfs fry As the year crept by. many seniors awoke at the end of the fourth six weeks to loud speaker an- nouncements by the senior assistant prin- cipal. Mr. Charles Polk. Turn in your Chicken Fry tickets or money tomorrow and pick up your permits; have them turned in by Tues- day.” And around the school, exclamations were being made such as. “Wow! the Chicken Fry is Friday. I have to sell some of my tickets.” As it turned out, all of the chaos with the tickets and permits bubbled up in- to one of the most suc- cessful fries in Sterling's history,” commented Mr. Polk. He added, I think that the fact that approx- imately 65 seniors were at the Bayshore Rod Reel Gun Club at seven in the morning is an example of the leadership and dedica- tion of this senior class. Everything went smoothly. Amid the many protests from Mr. Polk, the tradi- tional flour fight began the moment the white stuff was brought out. Anja Broussard said. “I'm sure glad I had my scarf and cap on or my head would have been plastered. Lauri Adlong added, When I got home I had flour everywhere, and I mean everywhere! Not only was the flour spread” around, but so was the potato salad. Nan- cy Dickens and Kenny Bloch decided to try a new hairstyle with it. Nancy commented. “It was so bad I had to rinse out my hair there and while it was wet I got dumped on again!” By Monday all of the visible effects from the event had been washed away. ”1 look clean but I'm still digging flour out of my ears. replied Steve Stewart. The other effects were still in the process of being counted. Mr. Polk finished. “I’d say we sold approximately 6,700 tickets which resulted in about $26,600 profit with most of that benefiting the Prom.” While doing their part in helping in the annual event, Stephanie Venable and Billy Tteman add more chicken to the boiling hot grease as Michael Mar ron looks on Photo by R.
