9 1 AE' an i ? F Toga Day was one of the many days during Trojan Week in which students participated. Senior Jerry Hine supports his GQ toga look. Concentration and precision were priorities while Lori Flickner, sophomore, was conducting the band at the year's first pep assembly. This is only one of the many occasions at which the drum majors must perform. Les Staadt, senior, supported toga day with his Hawaiian image . The design of this sheet was only one of the many seen around school. Participation down But still successful During the traditional Homecoming Week, one might have seen their peers dressed in some pretty far out costumes. What made this week a tradition was that every year students dressed up in wacky outfits to boost spirit for the Homecoming Game. Students were witnessed in every- thing from beachwear to togas. Participa- tion declined severely this year, although some students still joined the ranks of the hilarious. Senior Keith Nicholson re- marked they didn't have enough days that people could get into. The week started with a bang on Mon- day, which was beach day. Students donned hula skirts, lais, Hawaiian print shirts and shorts, OP sportswear and sun- tan lotion. The turn out for beach day wasn't as high as expected due to a lack of publicity, but all in all it was a good day. Tuesday was announced as idol day so students dressed as their favorite idols. Some costumes seen were the werewolf from Michael Jackson's Thriller,' video, Annie Lennox, and Tom Cruz. Michelle Vandyke iAnnie Lennoxl said, lt was fun, but not as much fun as it would have been if more people had participated. She also remarked I felt kind of weird, like everybody was staring at me. Every- one seemed to enjoy the good-humored fun of seeing their friends dressed up as their favorite idols. Before we knew it, Hippy day was upon us. So one might catch a glimpse of a once dominant beatnik. Thursday, stu- dents adorned themselves, as the ancient Romans did, with togas and sandals. Fi- nally, Friday arrived with green and white day. Students and faculty wore green and white apparel to show their truly apparent school spirit. This was probably the most popular day of the Homecoming Week. The traditional Homecoming Pep As- sembly broke tradition this year. Normally it would have been held outside, but the unusually cold weather forced the rally to be held in the gym instead. Some of the activities that took place were a pie eating contest and skits featuring the cheer- leaders. A tug-of-war was planned but stu- dents decided to go to lunch instead. Pizza was supplied for the participants of the tug-of-war, but a group of famished sen- iors ravaged the coveted reward. All in all, Homecoming Week could have been better if more students had tak- en part in the fun, although the students that did participate brightened the days during the week. Trojan Week 15

n Q ' A ', 'fr'fl.l?Ai:Q'ii,Sl lg v l izdffaulb Faculty breakfast eggsites! Lucky 7 is a great success! The aroma of hot pancakes filled the air and the sizzling of hashbrowns could be heard as one walked in the doors of Burns Methodist Church. It was time again for the Student X Faculty Breakfast. This great event occured October 10th 1984 and as usual was a whopping success. Approxi- mately 220 people attended to take part in the Student Government activity. 60 dozen eggs, 20 boxes of pancake mix, 20 loaves of bread, and 6 bottles of syrup were but a few of the delicious menu items included in this event. The early morning breakfast has been a part of Central for 7 consecutive years. Mr. Ray Best, Student Government Advi- sor said, The breakfast gives students and teachers a chance to spend time to- gether and develop an association other Junior Derek Yeager helps another junior, Kevin Motto, pour pancake batter into a pitcher at the Student X Faculty Breakfast, October 10th. New swimming coach and Earth Science teacher, Sam Hewson demonstrates his skill at catching a pancake as science teacher, John Green does the tossing. 16 StudentfFaculty Relations than in the classroomf' This held true as many students associated with numerous teachers on a more friend to friend basis other than teacher to student. This was the first year that an actual profit of 5158.21 was made. Perhaps the teachers who gave extra credit to students who attended contributed to the success. Or maybe everyone found out how much fun the breakfast really was. The fun began at 6:15 a.m. The coffee was perking and the cooks were standing around waiting for the rush. Is the orange juice ready?, , We need more french toast, ul-lurry up with those eggs! These were just a few of the many com- ments heard among the utter chaos in the kitchen. With many people in the kitchen such as Seniors Russ Foster and Jim Mitchell, Juniors Chris Kramer and Bevin Barbo, Sophomores Ken Halton and Shauna Shindler, things ran smoothly and the sup- ply met up with the demand. Despite the mass confusion throughout the morning and the numerous cooks in the kitchen, Sophomore Jennifer Todd said, The breakfast was well organized and the food was good. Maybe it was all fun and excitement and a good way to start out the morning. The bad part was it all ended so quickly. But then it was 8:20 and time for class to start. Cleaning up didn't take long and a good group of people stayed to help wrap up another successful event.
