'The most exciting part of week was the pep rally. Seniors won the hall plus the spirit link That made me even proud to be a senior, Anita Modi said. The lasted through- the week, involving many of school life. Clubs and classes devoted time out of school to the halls into their cartoons. They three hours on Thurs- Students enjoy celebrating the occasion day night putting up the decorations and adding final touches. The hard work resulted in the Seniors' Peanuts and the HECEfHEFtO's Smurfs be- ing named first place win- ners at the pep rally. Also announced at the pep rally was the class that sold the most spirit links - again, the seniors won, who raised over S150 for their class. Another announcement made was the selection of homecoming court, crowned before the game. Ftain, however, spoiled the drive around the field. The queen and princesses could not have a procession as in past years, but quickly left the track. The rain also prevented the spirit groups from performing during half-time. lt did not, however, spoil the game itself. The team defeated Lake Highlands 14-3, keeping in the race for the playoffs. Fans could celebrate the win at the dance, held that Saturday night. Everyone could find something to enjoy about the week, either by dressing up or by decorating the halls. I really liked dressing up because it seemed to break up the boredom of school, sophomore Mike Spurlock said. iEwbankJ Beach Day was another of the dress up days during homecoming, Dress- ing up in his beach attire, senior Eric Prosser becomes a true beach bum. iBornj Selling mums was one way to raise money during homecoming.

No matter where we went, we were always in one Whether it was at pep rallies, football games, or just in the halls between classes, being in a crowd helped students become more enthusiastic. ln the stands and on the sidelines, crowds of students and players kept the spirit going by cheering the teams to victory. When on the sideline during the game, we encourage the players on the field to win, so we can celebrate afterward and so we can say we are number one, sophomore Miguel Macedo said. Fans at the football games, for instance, would show their support for the team by painting their faces in red or blue or by wearing shirts, jackets, or caps with the school's insignia on Junior Kelly Walker and her date are among the spectators at the Homecoming game. tMajorst them. Crowds formed in other places besides sports events. One place was the hallways during break or between classes. Trying to walk down the halls became a slow process, since there always seemed to be large groups of people in the hall. The halls are so crowded because the sophomores and juniors don't realize that when a senior comes their way, they are supposed to move to the side, senior Lila Levy said. Friends caught up on the latest gossip, while others decided to catch up on the homework assignment which needed to be com- pleted. Not only were the halls one place that students grouped together, but crowds of students gathered in a variety of places doing various things.
