activities, the year would have been so dull and boring without them. Imagine a year without pep rallies, assemblies, dances, Renaissance Festival, etc. Without these activities and others that help us forget about school for a while, the year would seem even longer. Ac- cording to junior Andre Stinson, the year would be really boring without activities and I wouldn ' t want to come to school, Lisa Arnold agreed that the year would be really drag- ging and boring. We won ' t forget the special and exciting moments of this year, especially that unforgettable guest speaker, Dave Roevers. He caught our attention with his incredible ex- perience and touched our hearts. But that wasn ' t the only unforget- table event. The donkey basketball game, homecoming, the talent show, and of course the military ball and prom made this year special and unforgettable. Activities are an important part of our high school days and let ' s face it, at MoVal there was never a dull moment because we got what we wanted, SOME FUN! Fun

Dressing for the occasion, Mr. Hooper enjoyed his stay in the dunking booth. Students eagerly used their tickets to torture former friends for real or imagined crimes. Several times during the day, Mrs. Wilson instructed willing participants in the art of weaving the May Pole. One of MoVal ' s oldest traditions reoc- curred on Friday, May 9 — the Eleventh An- nual Renaissance Festival. Bigger than ever, it had to be extended into the main- quad. The community mural painting, supervised by the advanced art class, gave everyone an opportunity to display their artistic talents. Many items were for sale, as usual, such as plants, artwork, leather and metal crafts. Then there was everyone ' s favorite — food. The great variety of food included everything from oriental eggrolls to kraut dogs and ice cream sundaes Entertainment came in the form of musicians, actors, magicians, mimes, and jugglers, to mention a few. Other tradi- tional events were also enjoyed like the May Pole, parade, games, and the mar- riage booth. Because there are now so many students on campus, colored badges were issued which were worn by students in- dicating they had permission to be out of class and participate during a particular period. Tickets instead of money was so successful last year that this method was used again. The success of the festival is directly due to the hard work put in all year by the Renaissance Club and their advisors, Mr. and Mrs. Walker, and Mr. Burch. Music, Magic, We Want i vQJ Some Fun
