Student activities change, remain same Nowhere can the changes of the past ten years be seen more clearly than in the variety of activities offered to students. Some activities remain constant, Spirit Week, Halloween, Prom, Christmas concerts and dramatic productions. But oth- ers, equally popular, have evolved over the past ten years. Powderpuff, an event many claim is the high point of their high school years, was added after the school was established. Winter Formal, the NHS Masquerade Ball, indeed, even the National 172 - student life Honor Society is relatively new. The Band sponsored Carnival and the Vocal lVlusic's Talent Show are all recent innovations. A Renaissance Faire, occurring during this school's first year, has not re eated and the Pe ster's traditional o's dance has also P P gone by the wayside. However, Sadie Hawkins, Graduation and Grad Night are still tradition. Homecoming King and Queen candidates Robert Kent, Lisa LaFourcade, Libby Herron and Mike Sugar remain highly visible in the senior quad prior to voting for Homecoming royalty. The unique clothing on Kent, LaFour- cade and Sugar was due to the fact that they had been purchased as slaves for slave day, a senior class sponsored Spirit Week activity.

Spirit Week as successful as in past Culminating in the announcement of the 1982 Homecoming Court during half- time ceremonies at Bradford Stadium, Spirit Week, sponsored by the Senior Class, was as successful as Spirit Week's have been in the past few years. The drop off of participation among the student body at large can be blamed on any number of things. The population is larger, therefore it is more factioned. Many students go directly to work from school and haven't the time to change from Hwild and crazy clothes to more conservative clothing. The two period lunch schedule effectively limits the level of participation in any lunch time activi- ties, which are the core of Spirit Week. The traditional Slave Day brought the usual results. Members of the Homecom- ing Court were auctioned off to the high- est bidder who demanded that they wear strange clothing and wait on them during Slave Day. The cream pie contest was run as it has in years past as well. Bidders paid money to hit their favorite candidate in the face with a cream pie. Most successful was the blue jeanfT shirt and sunglasses day. More students par- ticipated in this dress up day than in other Spirit Week activities. The six candidates, Libby Herron, Mi- chelle Crisanti, Lisa LaFourcade, Pat Wren, Mike Sugar and Robert Kent were visible on campus that week.

Voting took place on Thursday and Fri- day of Spirit Week. The winners weren't announced until half-time ceremonies at the Los Alamitos game Friday night. Michelle Crisanti and Pat Wren were crowned Queen and King. Both were es- corted by their parents, as were the other candidates. They reigned over the Home- coming Dance held the following night in the gym. Senior Phil Thummel paid the highest price to hit Libby Herron in the face with a cream pie. Members of the Homecoming Court were auc- tioned off to the highest bidder in a Senior Class sponsored Spirit Week activity.
