lt's not everyday that my father wakes up at 6:00 in the morning to find a six- foot rabbit standing in our living room! lt was Tuesday, November 25, and as he stood there staring, the doorbell rang and in came my best friend - with an overgrown baby! What's going on here? he demand- ed. lt's Slave Day, Daddy! Slave Day? I see . l don't think he understood. Every year in the fall, the senior guys are auctioned off to the highest bidder, Every year l sit and watch as the guys are put on the platform, examined, and bought. This year l decided to buy a slave. After sitting among the audience and bidding S538 for a guy I hardly knew, l began my search for a cos- tume. That wasn't easy, costumes for six-foot jocks don't grow on trees. Final- ly, after days of brainstorming and hours at the sewing machine, l had a very large, pink and white bunny. Had my father followed me and my rabbit around that day, he might have understood, and even been caught up in the lighter side of Spring Branch's personality. The whole day, beginning with break- fast at Denny's, was totally off-beat! Ev- erywhere, there were smiling girls, and following right behind them were gg -I 3.55245-'QM-W strangely-dressed senior guys catering to their every whim. l don't think l car- ried one book or walked up one flight of stairs by myself that day! Slave Day is the one day of the year that everyone is relaxed and even the faculty is lenient. lt seems that almost anything goes on this day! For one day of the year, the girls can have their wishes: a guy to carry out their every command. -l.Q. l. Who opened the door to this mad house? 2. l know it's down there somewhere! thinks Bill Morgan. 3. Don't let our girlfriends see us, Kyle, says Charles Meyers. 4. Come on, Todd, let them see your cute flow- ered shortsf' says Kelly Vaught 5. Dana Youngblood thinks, l'm such a cute little devil! 6. Craig, you're not playin' right! says Kurt luergens. Craig, why don't you leave poor Kurt alone? asks Todd Stardig. 7. How about a kiss, baby? asks Curtis Stock- ton. !!lt's Slave Dfw, Daddy! n' Q Slave Day! 25

Forty girls from the class of 1982 par- ticipated in the Powder Puff game in May. The game is held annually at Grobe Stadium, and it offers the girls a chance to strut their stuff on the football field after watching the guys during the fall season. Although the girls did play only flag football, the rules and the positions were the same as the boys' football. It was a rough game, but it sure was a fun one, said Kim Thielmann, junior. After the game, the girls who partici- pated were asked to make a lunch which was sold to the guys. The money was then put in the senior treasury, and will be used to pay for the senior prom. The blue team came through with a victory against the white team. The final score was 18-6, but no one seemed to be upset. All in all the girls had a great time. The game was a really good way to get frustrations out, said lamie Schultz, junior. -- lohn Stilwell l. Kim Thielmann, 7, tries to avoid Kelly Hilter- man who is about to take hold of the flag. 2.
