The Class of '81 won third place and $10 with its trip through time in search of Bruin pride and discovery that it was present in 1980. As effigies of the Oakton Cougars went up in smoke at the bonfire on Thursday night, spectators got “fired up” while cheering and listening to the band. At the pep rally on Friday, the Homecoming court and the foot- ball team were presented to the student body. The gym roared with the cheer “Go Bruins, beat Oakton!” as classes competed to be the loudest. Upon their victory, the rowdy seniors broke into a senior chant immediately followed by a Bruin chant in which everyone joined. At the game on Friday night, the stands were packed with en- thusiastic fans. Although our team lost 16-7, spirit remained high.
