Lori Hunt Homecoming-the special time each year when alumni return to rekindle the flames of their old Alma Mater. Through the years, graduates have returned home each year to a bonfire, parade, and football game to help them recapture the memories of their high school days. As in years past, the '87 Homecoming was no exception. Mac Goes to the Moviesf' became the wall and door theme for Homecoming L87. Many hours before and after school were spent designing and perfecting the time- consuming walls. The seniors took first place with their wall Top Card. The freshman wall, featuring four different movies, won second place. La Carda, the sophomores' entry, came in third place, while the juniors took fourth place with their wall entitled f'Robocard. junior McKenna Welch remarked, Working on the wall was fun. Although we did not win, it was still worth all the workf, gf The annual bonfire took . place in the South parking lot on Thursday, September 24, at 8:30 p.m. Cheers rang through the air as students gazed in amazement at the blazing fire. Organizations, class princesses, and queen nominees, along with class of- ficers and senators, all par- ticipated in the Homecoming parade after school on Friday. Onlookers were greeted by the participants throwing gum and candy. The band led the parade as it traveled down OyConnor and Rochelle, turning onto MacArthur and finally ending r-,g at the school.

Sandy Sele In the true giving spirit of Christmas, students and facul- ty of MacArthur donated cans and clothing to CHIMES 1Christmas Helps in Making Everyone Santal. The thirty-three-year-old Christmas relief program, begun by the Irving Jaycees, in- volved many members of the community, including citizens, business leaders, and churches as well as all Irving schools.

The schools created a com- Classes at MacArthur challeng- ed each other to collect the most cans. One class also won recognition for having the best- decorated box container. The clubs and organizations also donated to the worthy cause, Latin Club, NHS, and band had a heated competition, but the Latin Club finally prevailed, collecting 285 cans and S130. I thought it was nice that students got together to help other people who were less fortunate than they were. This was the true meaning of Christmas, stated senior Christina Flores.
