The Cardinals clinched the National League Eastern Division title tonight with an 8-2 victory over the Montreal Expos. They have spent 134 days in first place, and it finally paid off After the Expos got away with a run in the first inning, the Cards came back in the third and tied the game. Then in the fourth, Dan Driessen, first base- man, drove in two runs with a double. The Cards and fans alike had fun in the seventh inning when they exploded with five more runs, including two on a single by Ozzie Smith, shortstop. Despite the obvious importance of tonight's game, I was surprised to see so many parents at Open House, There were about 800 in attendance, a bit short of the record 1 , 100. However, the administra- tion announced the score over the intercom for par- ents concemed about the game's outcome. I overheard parents talking about Dave Holley Ihistory teacherl. When he leamed that the Cards were ahead in the fourth inning, he beat his head against the wall and yelled I could be there, he screamed hysterically. I have season tickets, and I 'm here at Open House! U Earlier today, in Senor ILouJ Diaz's absence, our fifth hour Spanish IV class took advantage of the sub, Mr. lHerbI Dyck. We had a cultural experience, complete with Doritos and popsicles. Of course. things like popsicles and soda couldn't sit in a locker all day until the experience, so Brittney Puetz fjuniorj and I snuck out right before class and went home for the goodies. U they catch us, she said as we hurried back to school, just tell them you had to take me home to make sure I tumed the iron off this morning. She's so clever. .-Oh, speaking of hurrying, I ran like mad this morn- ing as I rushed to school at 7 a.m. for a weekly Bible study in the cafeteria. Angie Bollinger fjuniorj started the study at the beginning of the school year by calling fiiends. I 've wanted to be involved in a student Bible study for a long time. I thought there needed to be one, so I started it, she said. This week there were 12 of us there to look at things like Old Testament prophecies and Christian martyrs. Oh well, it's been a long day. I hope the Cardinals make it to the World Series. That would be so cool! I 'm sure that Mr. Holley would like it too, as long as Open House 1sn't that night. .Y 41,5 ' f .mf I I-J df ' '-J, 1 iii? my X at Hnstead of running on the partially fin- ished track, Demound Ming and Chad King, sophomores, jog to meet the re- quirements of their weight class.

-A ,W , l A f- -f 'VV Y -XY fvU,hY,----- , A DAY IN THE November BY CARRIE BARTLETT My alarm rang so loud at 5:30 p.m. that it practically blasted me out of bed. As I staggered into the shower I got that old familiar feeling--I was heading back to school again. You have to understand me when I say again. You see, I was at school yesterday all day, just like a normal person. It wasn't until after school that the crazy stuff started. I don't think I'll ever forget the haunting words I heard at 12:04 a. m.. While working on the computer at our Pioneer deadline, JeffMeesey Iseniorj yelled from across the room, Happy day in the month of Carrie! My mouth simply dropped in awe. I had completely forgotten that I was to cover the day. Well, the first four minutes of my day were great. The staff was still lively and only slightly slap- happy. As I glanced around the room I noticed what a horrendous mess we had made. Every table top was completely covered with books, clothes, cups, and attempts at finalizing pages. Trashcans overflowed, and various secret pal presents were strewn about the floor. Along one side distinct pleasure in hollering Change the magic number! at the top of their lungs, meaning another set of pages had come in Suddenly I looked at the clock, and much to my surprise it was 3:30 a.m.. We then voted to stay for three more hours. It was weird stepping out of the North building at 6:30 a.m., just in time to see the sunrise. As you may have guessed I slept for most of Nov. 13, but I did talk to a lot of people about their day It was Friday, but there was no school because of parent! teacher conferences the previous night. For a lot of people it wasn't a day away from school. Student Council ISCJ members worked on their Turkey Day hall for three hours. Eric lsophomorel and Mark Vogl Iseniorl, who had been the deadline, fell asleep while decorating for SC. They woke up to laughter because Tim Vogl fsophomorel had painted big crosses on their faces. Some seniors used their day off to visit college campuses. Tricia Malkemus lseniorj flew to Texas to visit Texas Christian University and Baylor. It was fun to go to Texas. I did a lot of comparing between the schools, but I still don't know where I'm going, she said. I was envious of her as I headed back to school to finish the last couple of spreads. I felt like I had of the room, staff members frantically worked on the Computers. Wing to CONQUCV the Pflgemakef Software staj' has to be crazy. but that night as I drifted off to never left.
