Spice is nice for '74 chili -vv AMW... 'L 95? Chilympiad. What is a Chilympiad? lt's a 4-day celebration of Chili-San Marcos' contribution to the world of awards. Established in 1969, Chilympiad has grown into the State Chili Cook-off to determine Texas' representative to the World Chili Cook-off in Terlingua. Many things go into the making of the Chilympiad. As well as local civic groups, SMHS students did their part. The P' , , Science Club sponsored a slush booth, the Yarbrough Debate Society was in charge of a coin toss, and Auto Mechanics entered the contest, too, with their own unique brand of chile, in place of a car's engine. The girls of Office Education Association pitched in as well, by constructing a float for the Chilympiad parade. Also in- volved in the parade were the Fiattler Band, majorettes and cheerleaders, Viffesf y 'x ii i gig.: ix A ..YQ i if A TM X Q ai 6 V y K 1 In W 3 sez? 5.
