AWARDS PICNIC Friday, May 13, turned out to be quite a lucky day for students who received academic awards. For the first time, the annual awards picnic was hosted by DuPont at the company park. Those students who were recognized at the awards ceremony at the Victoria Community Center were allowed to spend the day at Du- Pont. Activities, such as horseshoes to frisbee to volleyball, were held throughout the day. However, the see-saws and the swings never had a lonely moment the entire day. Faculty member, Carolyn Dornak organized sev- eral relay type games along with the usual egg and water balloon toss. Lunchtime finally came and everyone en- joyed the barbecue and watermelon. By 3 p.m. most eve- ryone was ready to get back to school so they could go home and rest after a long day at play.

KICKOFF: Cathy Barela kicks off for the Wildcj at the Powder Puff football game at Memoil Stadium. POWDER puff football garni i What is this? It appears to be either a contest to determine who can throw the football the shortest distance or an in- credibly wimpy form of the exhilarating game we all know as football. Even the cheerleaders are strange. Talk about masculine cheerleaders, someone needs to take a lawnmower after their legs. On Monday, May 16, the powder puff football game was played. Coach Ken- neth Parker and Coach Brian Emerson were in charge of the two teams for the full extent of the game, mediating and throwing flags on plays. The girls played their hearts out, said Coach Parker. It was fun and interesting , said Er- icca Perez. You should not go out for a team unless you are prepared to get a few bumps and bruises, said Rae Williams. There were some minor injuries on the field as in most football games. My favorite part about being a powder puff football player was the thrill of running up and down the field to chase an op- ponent and throw them to the ground, said Rae Williams. All during the game the cheerleaders were busy contributing support to the teams and getting the crowd involved. Shannan Fisher admitted, It was fun acting crazy in front of everybody. Each spectator seemed to be enjoying himself, watching the excitement of the game and the antics of the cheerleaders. The things that have come from the game are very positive, said Bronwyn Avery. The onlookers would more than likely agree. After what seemed to be a stale- mate the Freshman-Senior team defeat- ed the Sophomore-Junior team with a score of 8-0. The cheerleaders consisted of: Curtis Tait, Head Cheerleader; Chris Escalante, Shannan Fisher, Brad Fred- erick, Paul Fuentez, Michael Fullbright, Troy Starkey, and Zane Steininger. WINNING TEAM: The senior and freshman team was victorious in the second annual Powder Puff football game at Memorial Stadium. Both teams played well and everyone loved the cheerleaders.
