Campus Candids

After each of the three lunch periods Thursday, November 13th, the Super Mileage Vehicle Club sponsored a pumpkin launching contest. The club, which will design an all-diesel vehicle for state competition later this year, was trying to raise a few funds to support the project. Any and all interested students were invited to purchase a pumpkin and launch it on a trebuchet which Dean Tiffany's (PE) scout troop had built earlier this fall. While there is no official record, observers report the pumpkins flew above the tree line (30 - 40 feet) and as far as 170 feet down the Clayton Road parking lot.
