Charter Oak's student body came alive October 15-19. Students partici- pated in a week ot theme dress-up days and tested their skills in class competi- tions. Adding to the excitement of dressing up, many Lancers strived to obtain the ultimate goal ot becoming proud owners ot the ever so popular spirit stick. Gee, this neato nerd day was almost as great as last weeks computer sci- ence magazinef' said nerd Mike Walker. Monday, many Lancers dressed in their nercliest clothes. Nerds And Cotton Candy Make Spirit Week Tuesday, the Lancers were seeing double. At lunch, class competition in- volved twins in a three-legged race. Bev Bates and Mary Lenard took tirst place, moving the seniors closer to obtaining the spirit stick. On Wednesday, Charter Oak was thrown back to the titties where poodle skirts and leather jackets were necessi- ties ot everyday lite. During class com- petition, greaser Troy Griffin took tirst place tor the juniors. On Thursday, there seemed to be many out-ot-towners on C.O.'s cam- pus. Eguipped with cameras and maps, the tourists were ready tor a day ot sight seeing. Iuniors took tirst place in class competition, titting 18 people into a V.W. bug. The tinal day ot Spirit Week was cir- cus and spirit day with students imitat- ing various circus people. Several clubs set up booths at break and lunch to sell balloons, cotton candy, and oth- er goodies. Spirit Week was a partial success, and the seniors captured the spirit stick once again.

Varsity Football: Evaluate By Effor' lt would have been a mistake to evaluate success in terms of wins and losses and disregard the determination and perserverance displayed by the varsity football team. The loss of last year's offensive line proved to be one determining factor of Charter Oak's fourth place standing in league. The team also faced an appar- ent lack of size. Nevertheless, Charter Oak performed considerably well against such high-scoring teams as San Dimas and district rivals Royal Oak, al' lowing only 20 and 28 points respec- tively. Charter Oak was one of the first teams to suffer at the hands of the Dia- mond Bar Brahmas, enduring a 45-O defeat which foreshadowed Diamond Bar's C.l.F. triumph. The Lancers were able to emerge victorious from their homecoming game against Bassett, de feating the Olympians 20-lil. Such admirable performances were something to be proud of and perhapt contributed to the incessant effort pu forth by the team. Charter Oak finished one victory short of the play-offs, with a respectable 3 and 7 record. M M.S. Sz N.O. -' ..i FRONT ROW: L. Martin, G. Rodriguez, S. Smith, M. Henderson, l. Hensley, l. Harms, L.
