Baby You -
Can Drive

Would you happen to know how many
hamburgers McDonald’s has sold? If this
question sounds familiar you are either a
hamburger freak or someone who
participated in the Meade Heights Board
of Governors (MHBOG) 3rd annual Road
Rally.
The purpose of last Saturday’s road
rally was to raise funds for MHBOG and
to provide activity for students.
About 53 cars, each with driver and
navigator, were entered in the
tournament Some of those entered were
even named forthe occasion. Names like
“Little Red Emily” and “Big Blue” were
boldly displayed on two of the cars.
As each driver pulled his or her car
into the starting position, each, smiling
and anticipating a good run, reassured
the timekeeper that he or she would
finish in first place.
One driver who especially wanted to
finish in first place said, with a serious
look on his face, “For every five miles 1
travel this car registers one-tenth of a
mile more.” He wanted to make sure the
timekeeper and the starter knew this
when his total mileage was being
determined.
The road course which each driver
had to travel was mapped by MHBOG.
The course was 49.9 miles, and the time
it took to run it, 1 hour 31 minutes: 55
seconds, was also decided on by
MHBOG.
A driver could receive a maximun of
1145 points. Each mile off the 49.9 mile
limit was worth 10 points from the total
points.
Any driver's time recorded over the
time permitted was deducted from his or
her total points. If a driver was clocked
with a time better than the time permitted
points were reduced, because this meant
he or she was speeding, or had not
covered the whole course.
Also, questions were included on the
course instruction sheet If any of the
questions were incorrectly answered,
this also called for points to be reduced.
Although the road rally had an early
start one driver did not return until later
that night It was suspected that he took
a lovely tour of Baltimore.
First place went to Becky and Gary
Oswald with a total of 1115 points. John
Iser and Scott Dunlap received second
with 1095 points, and Mike Chenybon
and Doug Doubas were third with 1080
points. The booby prize went to Cindy
Uzzle and Dave Gilberts with a score of
150.
And, by the way, in case you didn’t
know McDonald's has sold 19 billion
hamburgers or is that 20 billion!

Social Committee Re-Groups

three students met last Friday to discuss
the future of Capitol’s social life.
The Student Center is underutilized,
according to Vance. Don Gale will try to
remedy this situation with plans for more
activities which will be held in the

Those of you who read the C.C.

saw pamphlets posted throughout the
school warning that there might not be a
yearbook published this June- need fear
no more.
The S.G.A has temporarily approved
the production of the 1977 Capitolite.
They have also allocated $135 to the
yearbook from last year's funds. This was
sufficient to prompt the staff to start the
ball rolling.
Currently, the S.G.A is canvassing
the student population so as to gauge
student interest in, and support for, this
project before giving final approval and
allocating funds from this year's budget

Money is tight this year, according to
Vance. The Social Committee has
decided on new tactics and wants to
bring in self-supporting activities. Small
admission fees will be charged for
movies and dances to help offset costs,
he said. The Social Committee has also
decided to try for better advertising of
upcoming events. All too often people
are not aware of an activity until the day it
is taking place.
