ACTIVITIES HELP TO RAISE MONEY The Student Council held the much anticipated boys Junior vs. Senior Basketball Game and Activities Night on March 14, 1986. The activities at half time included the orange pass which the Juniors won and the tug of war where the victory prize of $50 was handed to the challenging Sophomores for their class treasury. The annual power struggle between the classes brought in a gymnasium full of cheering fans. The basketball game determined which team would be acknowledged as The Defeated Boys or The Champion Men for the night. The Junior team, coached by varsity basketball player Tammy O'Rourke, played with rough tactics, team ability, and a real go-getter coach. The Junior team fought for a high score of 45 points and was branded as The Defeated Boys . The Senior team held the pressure and used their experience to achieve a total of 49 points that took the game. Joey Wentzel, Varsity basketball captain, was proud to coach the winning Senior team during Activities Night. After the game many students attended a charity dance hosted by the Student Council in the school cafeteria. Donations from the game and dance were sent to the Tim Fisher family along with cards that showed our help and care for the family. A total of $500 was raised and donated by the understanding students of White Pigeon.
