Broom Hockey — A Successful Endeavor Once again, this year's Broom Hockey game turned out to be a very successful endeavor. There were twelve teams made up of five girls and five guys each carrying their own doctored-up brooms. Some die- hard athletes even had professional broom hockey sticks even though mom's old stand-by worked just as well. Although the day started out dreary and dark the sun soon broke through the clouds forcing everyone to shed their many layers of coats, sweaters and scarves. This year's game was a little different from those before due to the fact that there was no ice, only hard-packed snow. After the first couple of games though, it was slippery enough that no one could tell the difference. Congratulations to the winning team, the Maybe-maybe nots and also to Var- sity S for ajob well done. — Jenny Hill Right — Mike Nativi brooms a shot on goal as Jenny Hill looks on.

'he Juniors Came Close Above — Chris Pirie scrambles through a tight de- fense. Left — Cherylene Martin uses a good block from Lucie Parent on Nancy Arnholm to break downfield. We knew it, we knew it all the time! We knew we could win. Even though the junior team got lucky and showed a little skill. Although few in numbers, we were high in spirit and athletic ability. The game of '84- '85 will be remembered for a long time. For it's close score, but, mostly to show it's willingness to show it's ability to come from behind to come out victorious. Good Luck to the juniors next year. — Glenn Isham Left — Seniors huddle to try to outwit the junior defense. c. fi JOAN l t Row — Greg Roy, Nelson Bowles, Ed Gilbert, Chris Lorden, Scott Slora. 2nd Row — Heather Meikle, Mary-Ann Bisson, Ann Foley, Kris Setien, Liz Wells, Jackie Nolan 3rd Row — Kris Kinley, Sandy Boudreault, Tonya Parry, Marie Dessureau, Renee Gosselin, Suzy Peloquin 4th Row — Gretchen Spangler, Sue Couillard, Lisa Nativi, Debbie Merrill, Nancy Arnholm. 5th Row — Debbie Chatot, Marcia Dion, Jody Sicely, Wendy Cameron. 6th Row — Sue Bernier, Heidi Checehi. The 1984 Powder Puff game began on a cold November day. Both teams had been practicing for a week and were ready to play. The seniors started the scoring quickly with a touchdown run by Cherelyne Martin on their first possession. The juniors got on the scoreboard by recovering a senior fumble in the endzone for a safe- ty. Michelle Moran scored for the seniors to put them ahead 12-2. The juniors scored twice on touchdown passes from Liz Wells to Marcia Dion. The juniors were leading by two. If they could hold on to the lead, they would be one of the only teams ever to beat the seniors. But the juniors' hopes were dashed late in the second half when Joan Longchamp ran for thirty yards and a touchdown. A two-point conver- sion secured the seniors' 20-14 victory. A junior commented, The game was a lot of fun. I can't wait until next year. Watch out Class of '87! A senior's feeling was, The juniors were great competition and were difficult to beat. After the game there were no hard feelings. Every- one went home dirty and sore. Next year the juniors hope to carry on the tradition and beat the Class of '87. — Jackie Nolan Powder Puff 21
