That tim of year On Aug. 29 the final bell sounded. For students, teachers and administrators it was that time of the year again which meant getting back to school. Although school actually began Aug. 29, students got back into the swing of it at enrollment on Aug. 14. It was held on one day with all students enrolling from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The idea of having enrollment on one day-came from the administration as an ex- periment to shorten the days of enrollment. Pearl Kurr, vice-principal, said, l think enrollment went well. The only major problem was that we needed more fees tables. Otherwise, I would say it was a success. After enrollment there was much planning to do on the part of students and teachers. School supplies were bought and lesson plans were made, along with trips to town or Wichita to buy school clothes. Finally the planning paid off. School started and familiar and new faces were seen in the halls. Note- books and lesson plans were put to use, but not for long, as school was interrupted for a three day Labor Day vacation, bringing back the flavor of the summer to mind. The brief holiday ended and it was time for every- one to settle into the routine of going to school for the next nine months. lt meant getting up and going to bed earlier and to take time from usual TV watching or dragging Nlain, but it was part of each student's life. Some students chose to spend their free time participating in fall sports. The -first football game was held Sept. 7 against Winfield. The young and inexperienced Railers lost 13-7, but played well. After the game the Back to School Dance was held. The girls' volleyball team played well as they won the Valley Center Tournament Sept. 15. With the start of these and others, fall sports were in full swing, as were other activities. Yearbook and identification cards' pictures were taken Sept. 10 and 11. PTSA Open House was also held Sept. 10. STUCO elections took place on Sept. 12 with many enthusiastic candidates. With pictures taken, STUCO officers elected and fall sports underway, the students of the high school were organized, for the time being. It was no longer thought of as being back to school, but being in school. 12 BACK TO SCHOOL Kelly Mathews ABOVE: Todd Muser, Bobby Church, Ken Janzen and David Anderson study the candidates for STUCO dur- ing the election in the auditorium.

The showing of the movie, The Buddy Holly Story, kicked off Homecoming Week following with a day set aside for wearing fall sport jerseys, or something black and gold. Class competition was brought back in an effort to obtain more unity. We've had real good results, said Bryon Reusser, STUCO president. We tried to get more unity through more and more competi- tion. A lot of people were trying to beat the other classes and that brought more unity. The competition included money jars, hall decorations, spirit assembly, wig and grodie day, and overall, hat and button day. The winners of the money jars went as follows: sophomores-first, seniors-second, juniors-third, and freshmen-fourth. Hall decorations awarded the seniors with first, sophomores-second, juniors- third, and freshmen-fourth. 14 HOMECOMTNG The sophomores captured first place atfthe spirit assembly, followed by the seniors with second, juniors got third, and freshmen cap- tured fourth. During wig and grodie day, the winners were: freshmen-first, juniors-second, seniors-third, and sophomores-fourth. Overall, hat, and button day found sopho- mores on top, seniors-second, juniors-third, and freshmen-fourth. The concourse was full all during the week with students buying class spirit buttons from STUCO, Fiailer pennants from HERO, and mums from DECA, OEA 'sold pop and caramel apples during hall decorations to nourish the hard workers. The hard workers were given a break the following night, as they watched the 1979 Homecoming Parade roll down lVlain Street. Following the parade a bonfire was held near the rodeo grounds at Athletic Park. But there was still more to look forward to. As always, coronation is one of the high points of Homecoming Week.
