alls Radiate Hallmark Ideas Top Four Club Themes Reap Honors By Timi Haggerty Cloak and dagger tactics were used by competitors as elaborate themes and decorations were secretly closeted in local garages. Although decorating the hall was fun, winning was even better. The competition was tough. We decided on our theme during the summer and took an oath of silence not to tell what it was, said Y Club member Tracie Turner. We kept all our decorations hidden in the houses of the members, said Turner. Eastwood's various clubs and organizations labored to adorn their chosen hallways on September 20, the Saturday before Homecoming. There were no limits to the amount of time a club could work outside of school. There was, however, a limit for putting up decorations on campus. After a five hour time limit, the halls were judged. The judges were lab technician Jodi Burns, UTEP student Jean Borunda, and Ysleta Elementary School teacher Miss Lisa Multhauf. Criteria for judging were creativity, originality, and how they tied in with Eastwood, football, and the exes. Also, the materials used in the decorations had to be fire retardant. With such a variety of decorations to critique, the judges really had their work cut out for them. 'judging the halls was really very difficult. Once we decided on the three best halls, we took over two hours trying to decide which ones to award first, second, and third place to, said Borunda. The final decision was announced at the Burning of the E ceremonies. First place was awarded to Y-club, second place went to Sigma Chi, and OEA grabbed third. Octagon won an honorable mention. Y Club's winning theme was Surfin E.H.S. We spent a lot of time working on everything, even some time during the summer, and I was really glad that the hall turned out as well as it did, said Y Club historian Charles Perkins. I was really excited that we won, said president Virginia Porras. We had a tradition of winning until last year, and I8 decoration of the halls we wanted to win in order to carry on the tradition, said Porras. Second place winner, Sigma Chi's theme Catch the Wave covered a portion of fifth hall. The hall turned out really well, better than we expected, said junior Vickie Michael. We were happy about getting second place because we had never won before, she added. OEA and Octagon shared the decorating of sixth hall. OEA used the theme Welcome to the Trooper Be-Bop to garnish the western half of sixth hall. I think we deserved to win third place because we put in a lot of hard work, and I feel we did a really good job, said senior Sherine jackson. It felt good to win because it was the first time that OEA was ever really recognized for anything, she added. Decorating the eastern half of sixth hall, Octagon's theme Eagles Drive to Destruction earned the club an honorable mention. I thought the hall came out pretty nice. We had an original idea and that's what probably got us the honorable mention, said junior Kevin Cataldi. It made me feel proud to be a part of the club, he added.
