A bonfire was also held on Spirit Nite to spark excitement for the game. Following the week of celebration was the victorious homecoming football game against Corona del Sol. The Marcos de Niza Padres defeated the Corona Aztecs with a score of 16 to O. During halftime, the new 1987 Homecoming King and Queen were announced to an anxious crowd. Students celebrated their victory at a special homecoming dance following the football game. The theme, Helplessly in Love, was chosen for this eventful an- nual dance.

Assemblies We never have any assemblies! This was a phrase often heard by Marcos stu- dents. ln fact, that was not true this year. Marcos had an average of at least two assemblies a month. COf course, students always want more!! The student council, along with Mr. Pla- cona, Ms. Baldonado, and many others, worked to create more assemblies of bet- ter quality for the students this year. These people spent time in special meet- ings and strived to plan for a better school year. Among the assemblies held were the A.C.E. QAcademic Commitment to Excellencel assemblies, Christmas Assembly, Patriotic Assembly, S.A.D.D. Assembly, Clubs Assembly, and Spirit As- semblies with energetic class competi- tions. Many students attend the patriotic assembly, led by Mr. Mirizio. Scott Hellman and Marissa Denny, sophomores, try to create a sundae during class competition. 20 - Student Life
