Seniors Have A Ball With Bubble Soccer

Last week, hard-working seniors discovered a surefire stress reliever - bubble soccer! Students suited up in translucent spheres from head to hip, with legs left free to run...into one another. Classmates cheered from the stands as their friends bumped and tumbled to victory or, more often, hilarity. The silly sport was a well-deserved break from senior projects, exams and college applications.
