Donkey basketball A hilarious first for Sandy happened when the Future Farmers of America chal- lenged the Dads' Club to play basketball while mounted on donkeys. The boys who sold the most tickets to the event were allowed to play. The Dads' Club was help- ed by some faculty and staff members. Each donkey was equipped with leather shoes that would not harm the gym floor. At times during the game, the animals became quite stubborn and refused to bud- ge which added to the already almost in- surmountable problem of playing ball while riding donkeys. Although the adults tried valiently, the students defeated them, 16-14, with the final basket being made only seconds before the clock ran out. The game was a success for the FFA. Their profit was more than $150. Upper right: Mr. Jim Kitchen urges his trusty mount down court. Lower left: Donkey basketball stars await their curtain call.

Portland pro 'artists’ provide entertainment Portland professional wrestling came to Sandy again this year on Oct. 22 for two matches, spon- sored by the Key Club. Some of the stars highlighting the evemng s entertainment were Bull Ramos, Lonnie Mayne, Grin- go and The Skull. Before the first matches really got started the ring began to fall apart. Approximately 200 people enjoy- ed the performance and the Key Club made about $200, ac- cording to Adviser Gemhart.
