Gliding into the week the action began at Lake of the Isles where the first ice skating party was held. With red cheeks and frozen toes, the Millers plunged into the weeks many activities. The annual Pow-dcrpuff football games were the next event and at times it was hard to see the strategy behind all the flying snow A fun time was had by all and the senior women captured the final victory. The next event was the Bootbatl tournament where all the Miller guys tried to show their skills on coJd sheer ice. The battles were tough, but once again it was the seniors who won Friday was the highlight of the week as the Millers prepared for the best pepfest of the year. With the slam dunk contest, the tug-of-war, the erotic dancing of the Millermen. and the crowning of the snow king and queen, this was definitely worth the wait.

The pepfest reached its climax when the senior men emerged from the bleachers and rocked out to the delight of the student body.
