Agenda for week: Luny, crazy!
P eople running around in lunar
patrol helmets? Sitting in class
with pajamas on? A long snake run­
ning through the middle of Ralston?
Sound zany? All of these events

wore beanies, baseball caps and
sombreros. During the evening girls
saw rough and bruising action at the

bright red lipstick, Dad’s letterman
sweater, and gum chomping were
fads relived by boss chicks and

football players, band members, and
students met at the Middle School.
Students held hands, slithered,
curved and met at the Fire Depart­
ment practice field to burn a Viking

dent.
