Chaparral High School - Golden Embers Yearbook (Scottsdale, AZ)

Speaks with Spirit Once upon a Halloween, strange creatures invaded Chaparral's halls. It was Homecoming week and one day was designated as dress-up day in the spirit of Halloween and Homecoming. Students got up early to change themselves into different creatures. Raggedy Annes, pumpkins, Alices in Wonderland, and dracula too, roamed the school to arouse spirit. The Nlat-Aids sold pumpkin grams to enhance the Halloween atmosphere also. However, most students felt that this day did not help their spirit. According to Preston Scott, It was nothing I'd write Nlother about. Some kids didn't have the guts to come to school dressed up. I would have been embarassed, explained Mary Stalheim. Others had no choice and were required to dress up. For example, Patty Lavelle stated, I'm a IVIat-Aid and we were supposed to dress up. Otherwise, I wouldn't of had be- cause I wouldn't of have had the nerve. Whether spirit was aroused, there was a feeling of Halloween with the efforts of spirit-minded students. X I -.

An array of costumes wandered about the campus on Thursday- dress up day. This prepared stu- dents for the rousing bonfire and pep rally that night. Then every- one met at the Schroders' to socialize and work during the all night float party. The big day came at last and students wore hats and sun glasses. That after- noon, knives were stabbed into pumpkins, in a class competition pumpkin carving contest, which was won by the Juniors. At the half of the game with the team behind 10 to 7, the spirit and emotions were running high. Finally the moment came, the red carpet was rolled out, torches were lit, and the pom girls and cheerleaders stood by with clusters of balloons, while the crowd waited breathlessly. The 1976 Homecoming King and Queen were announced. Andy Page and Stacy Sherry were crowned, robed, and rode the Great Pumpkin Float around the field. Homecoming night ended with a tinge of sadness as Chaparral was defeated 16 to 14, To conclude the weeks activities, the royal cake was served at the dance Saturday night, ending 1976 Home- coming with a feeling of exhause tion, sadness, and joy.
