Back in the Hlgh Llfe: a ASI-I o say the least, homecoming this year was memorable. News of the dance being held at Clark Com- munity Center instead of the Glendale Civic was met with mixed emotions, but that didn't spoil the festivities. The traditional class dress-up days re- ceived much participation and some bi- zarre outfits. The freshmen went Hawai- ian as they put on some of their best beach clothes. Next came the sopho- mores reverting back to the glorious age of the hippies. Juniors again stayed ca- sual and threw on sweats and T-shirts. Last, and certainly not least, came the ever-popular senior nerd day. The best were the nerds, commented junior Kar- mel Tabamo. l couldn't keep a straight face whenever l saw one. The activities and games of the week also met wide success. Kazoos, pom- pons, and mugs filtered through the school quickly. Of course, who could forget the best legs and best buns com- petitions. The annual bonfire wrapped up the week in its usual awesome fash- ion. Spirit was then uplifted beyond hu- man capacity when the Varsity football team demolished Arcadia in the home- coming game. The week, however, was not over. Fri- day night came and so did the awaited dance, Back in the High Life. Al- though it occurred in the new surround- ings ofthe Clark gym, the outcome was the same. l was a little uncertain about what it was going to be like at Clark, remarked sophomore Shane Cowsill. But all l can say is it was great! by Joel Larson Homecoming ever let me down. Even in the rain, Tom Cowan and Carrie Dye find a way to bring the excitement of the dance outside. did it! With obvious jubilation, queen Lei- lani Artis waves to her fans in the crowd as escort Jimmy Lee and princess Kelly Darrow look on with approval.

Halloween was truly a bit umping into the Pink Panther, a Russian woman swimmer, a walking pineapple, or the invisi- ble man might make the average student wonder, but not on Halloween, when the dress was anything but normal. People really went all out, commented junior Heather Hart, l didn't even recognize half of my friends. Even the Halloween day rally was quite out of the ordinary. The rally plat- form was littered with Ghouls, the Su- premes, Ghost Busters, and the cast of the Wizard of Oz. lt was exciting be- cause it was so different from all the other rallies, explained freshman Rox- anne Virgallito. Dressing up was a way for some stu- dents to show off their inner-self and cre- ativity. When l was a kid l always want- ed to be a fireman, but I know l never will be, told senior Paul Brink. Other costumes that captured atten- tion as they strolled across the quad were the Pope, a Christmas tree, a pillow person, and a piece of gum underneath a chair. Where do they come up with these ideas, they're great! marveled sophomore .Jeff Phillips. Dale Wellington also brought humor to the day with his portrayal of Coach Eberhart. lt was enough to earn him the award for best costume of the day. I was waiting for him to call a play or something, stated a worried Brent Lew- is. The end of the day did not necessarily mean the end of the fun. lt went all the way through the night with trick or treat- ing, the football game, and costume par- ties. Jeanne Mixon summed up the day best when she said, l love Halloween so much because there's always something fun going on. by Todd Kummer Halloween Pluribus Unum.
