lubs Choose Variety of Themes Hall Decor Reflects Array of Colors By Dora Thrash Overnight, drab and dreary hallways became fantasy lands. In order to accomplish the transformation, a number of themes were chosen. Topics ranged from the Flintstones to Catch the wave. The beach was a popular setting. The surfing themes were in and were really well done, said sophomore Darlene Davis. Y Club used it for the first hall theme of Surfin EHS. Exes gazed at surfboards along with the paper beachballs and Eastwood jammsn shorts when they walked through Y Club's first hall. The theme was cool, it looked like a lot of work was done, said 1985 graduate Paul Riddick. Huge drawings of drowning eagles and hungry sharks took up window space, while blue butcher paper provided the background to keep out most of the light in the hall. Sigma Chi chose to Catch the Wave with their fifth hall decor. Palm trees, sun, and surf caught special attention. The halls were so neat, especially the ones with surfing and beach stuff, said freshman Caro Soto. Sigma Chi adorned their hall with huge palm trees, massive strips of streamers, and paper Troopers with their surfboards. The group used Kappa members are FRONT ROW Eric Anne Harley, Sherry Pruitt, Lori Gonzalez, Fabian Holen historian Karen Lankford vice president MHYUHCZ. Laura Heald.

Some clubs chose to reflect school pride in their themes. Anehta Sesea used Miss Liberty as well as school symbols to carry out the theme A'Shine On Forever. It was so appropriate to use the statue since liberty weekend was last summer and all, said junior Gaby Urquiza. Blue jackets focused on all areas of competition with their theme The Pride is Back. Troopers Thru the Years was Yahna Phi's nostalgic look at past teams. Several clubs were interested in the demise of the Canutillo team. ELA members wanted to Kill the Eagles in seventh hall while Entre Nous offered to Cage the Eaglesn in fourth hall. ELA's hall was cool, and we were proud of it, said junior Brandon Bentley. Octagon members were intent on the Eagles' Drive to Destruction in sixth hall. Also shunning the Cantuillo Eagles was E-Kappa who used Wipe out the Eagles as their theme. Still other themes were set using unusual settings. Doowtsae members attacked third hall with characters like Oonga Boonga, various jungle animals and wild vegetation. The Troopstones,' French Club's imitation of the favorite cartoon, The Flintstones adorned part of main hall with huge plywood replicas of Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty. OEA flashed back to the past with the Trooper Be-bop. The sixth hall decorations included paper records and other '50s paraphernalia including a little juke box. The really heavily decorated halls were the ones that attracted me mostf' said senior Joe Golden. Other various decorations sprinkled through the school included contributions from Saltatrix, Trooperettes, the pom pon squad and cheerleaders. rying to tie a handful of streamers to a foil covered corner of Yahna Phi's fourth hall, member Tricia Nava finds her job tedious.
