Seems Sr. Joyce is looking waaay down the driveway after launching her watermelon seed.
|
|
Oragnizer of the watermelon seed spitting contest, Sr. Joel, puckers to make that seed fly. Sr. Clarita seems quite delighted at the show.
|
|
She checks the measurements on the slide tape, while Sr. Juanita insures honesty.
|
|
Sr. Gretchen aims high in all things. Here she propels her watermelon seed from the carport into the driveway...or is she balancing that basket on her head?
|
|
Melissa Fisackerly has the makings of a future nun...wow...right down to the watermelon seed contest.

Sr. Mercedes does her best...but...Sr. Cecile inhales in solidarity with her.

Awwww! Sr. Gayle looks disappointed after entering the competition!
|
|
Look at her face! Sr. Cynthia is ready to eject her watermelon seed...we think that's what was happening here.

Sr. Beth, (3rd place)
Sr. Joyce, (1st place)
Melissa (2nd place)
...but a good time was had by ALL.
