On concert tee-shirt day, Steve Weedman proudly displays his preference in rock music. Led Zeppelin tee-shirts, cowboy hats and bandanas, purple and gold, shades and shorts, and a cleaner cafeteria were seen throughout the school February second through sixth as the SGA sponsored a schoolwide Bruin Spirit Week. ‘‘Bruin Pride” was the theme of the week as the school worked to unite the students as one. As SGA members encouraged students to clean up their trays and trash, the cafeteria became a much better place for students to eat lunch. Rush, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Grateful Dead were just a few of the groups displayd proudly on students’ chests. Gunshots rang throughout the halls as a gang of SGA gangsterettes held up students dressed for Dallas Day. After being dragged to the SGA of- fice, they were given candy for showing their spirit. The royal col- ors of purple and gold brightly perked up the school as students wore everything from purple and gold ribbons to purple and gold fingernail polish. The SGA members conducted a survey to find the classes with the highest percentage of people dressed in purple and gold and presented the classes with Carvel ice cream cakes that said, “Way to go Bruins!” As buses arrived for school, everyone had their eyes on the beach bums laying back in their lounge chairs catching rays in front of the school. A strong aroma of Coppertone suntan lotion and.coconuts filled the air. Of course, if you didn’t get into the beach mood enough with the shades, towels, tube tops, and suntan lotion, maybe the sand in the halls helped put you in the mood. During the week, the subschools decorated the areas as they participated in the contest sponsored by the SGA and first place was awarded to the class of ’86. As the week filled with Active Duty came to a close, students sensed more unification in the school.

Sophomore quarterback Julie Newson runs left for the quarterback sneak . November 10 marked a new addi- tion to the annual Powderpuff Football scene. That night, the in- termediates played each other for the first time ever. The Class of ’86 scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point. Within the next few minutes, the Class of ’85 scored and ran the conversion. The Class of '86 came back and scored before the halftime clock ran out, but missed the extra point. The Class of '85 tied the score 14-14, where it stayed that way until the conclusion of the game. The freshman-sophomore game was a contrast to the preceding in- termediate game. The battle ended in a 0-0 tie, it being called a very defensive game. Class of ’83’s safety, Tammy Palmer, had three interceptions on the night. The junior-senior game turned out to be an excellent one for the juniors. On their second posses- sion of the game, quarterback Rhonda Florence threw a 15 yard pass to flanker Paige George who scored in the end zone. The extra point was blocked by the senior defense. The score stayed 6-0 throughout the rest of the game, as the Class of '82 joyfully triumphed over the Class of '81. The eighth grade cheerleaders valiantly construct a pyramid to cheer their team on.
