A detour sign stands in the hallway during the summer remodeling. ■ — X uite a change took place in Elmhurst from the last weeks of August to IP I the first week of September. During the summer, construction of the new building continued with slight adjustments and mass clean- ing done In the old part. As a result, the building resembled lit- tle more than a junk pile, but it gradually transformed into a school ready for Its 1,233 inhabitants. Sparkling clean lockers were filled with junk while books received new owners. Silent halls which once served as storage space for desks, chairs, and cabinets now sounded of footsteps, whis- pers, and parts of teachers ' lectures. As usual, sophomores suffered the experi- ences of trying to find their way around. Upper- classmen even got a few surprises when they discovered Mr. Storey ' s room had disappeared (Into a chemistry lab) or that the AV room was now the Student Council ' s. Teachers and students alike had to adjust to the parking arrangement, while the workmen got used to the lack of privacy and many onlookers. Yet the school year of 1 977- 1 978 was on Its way to a good start and a promising beginning.

Spirit Week — Hectic, Silly, and Fun [-Kj-w omecoming week was probably the most exciting, hec- -, I tic, silly, and fun week of the whole year. It began Mon- J day, October 10, with Kickers and Knickers Day, which sported a weird assortment of shoes and socks. Tues- day, Stylin ' Day, Trojans dressed up in the best clothes of the closet. Wednesday brought students wearing red and grey with their favorite hats, and Thursday meant everyone was allowed to munch on suckers all day. After school, the seniors were true to their word by winning the junior-senior powderpuff game, 20-14. Friday was appropriately called Dress-Down Day as kids appeared in anything from jeans to long under- wear. The Homecoming rowdiness continued with the annual pep session and parade around the football field. Each class pre- sented its float — the finished product of many long hours of hard work. The senior class constructed a school building which King Kong burst from holding a Spartan prisoner. The juniors created a pedestal and trophy, symbolic of Olympic games. The sophomores also did an excellent job with their float of Snoopy kicking a field goal. Included in the parade were the senior powderpuff and football teams, the Homecoming court, honored guests, and the Grand Marshal, Mr. Stubbs. Afterwards, the cheerleaders led a short pep session which got everyone fired up for the big game that night against Home- stead. Juniors Anne McCleneghen, Jenny Morel, Danette Mazelin, Ann i Marianne Rodriguez, and Chris Hogan enjoy Sucl;er Day. 1 4 — Homecoming
