Balloon Launch: Michael Martinez, 14, helps Loden Kline, 13, fire Team Godzilla's catapult on Friday afternoon at Gallup Mid School. Eighth-grade general science teachers Miss Adams and Miss Brandon came up with the class project to aid in the annual upcoming Gettysburg re-enactment the students put on in March. Last year, the students ran around lobbing water balloons at each other. Adams and Brandon decided adding some artillery water balloon launchers would help the re-enactment.
