QBoleyJ forget to take his books home. QPellerinj What a week . . . Dressing up and decorating Homecoming week was like no other week of the year. Students were able to put school work aside, while preparations for hall decorations and dress-up days took priority. These preparations were time-comsuming. Yet no one minded because homecom- ing united the students like nothing else. Starting the week, the school turned green with students deck- ed in army fatigues. And looking for remnants from the past, many students found go-go boots, san- dals, and peace signs for 60's day. Color day was Thursday. Seniors wore red, juniors blue and sophomores white. Ending the week, students dressed according to their class hall. And on Friday, cities flourished as this year's hall decorating ww in if sl theme. The senior hall came alive with the excitement of the Big Ap- ple. 'New York was a good city to choose. There are so many kinds of people you could dress like, commented senior Kim Williamson. And transformed into a prehistoric time, the juniors' hall was the imaginary city of Bedrock. Finally, the sophomores chose Honolulu, the city of sun, surf, and sand. Before the dance many students attended the annual Homecoming Revue. As a result of director lol Conrad's accident, the revue had only a Saturday night performance. 'When loi got hurt we thought the revue would be chaotic, but we really worked together- and it was a success, senior Keith Arment, emcee for the show, said. lWintersl Dressed in fatigues, sophomores Amy Kir- wan and Laura Chase talk about the fun they've had during homecoming week. tBoIeyj Homecoming - Student Life X 25

What a Win Students show spirit at pep rally and game Each Friday students anticipated the afternoon pep rally. But this was not the usual Friday pep rally, it was homecoming. Being a special day, the pep ral- ly lasted an extra 10 minutes. Therefore, many groups had a chance to show their spirit. Senior Flag Corps members executed a routine to Kafka Lifting the crowd's spirit, the Pacesetters per- formed a dance to llOn the Loose. After everyone finished, student council president, lanet Reed, announced hall decoration prizes. Contrary to tradition, seniors did not take first place, but third, with juniors taking first and sophomores second. After the performances, ap- plause filled the gym with the an- nouncement of the homecoming court. Cheers rose from the crowd as the girls made their way across the gym. Later that night, prior to the game, the homecom- ing court made the traditional ride around the field. The homecoming game was one of the most awaited of the year. Parents, students, teachers, and alumns came to see the Mustangs play. l'We knew a lot of people were depending on us. But we knew our hard work would pay off - and it did, senior Chris Davis said. During the game the Mustangs took advan- tage of Plano East's two fumbles to score a first quarter field goal and a fourth quarter touchdown in recording a 10-O win before a Mustang homecoming crowd. This victory concluded the one week students could let loose their inhibitions and break away from the normal school routine.
