X illil A Students had their good weeks and their bad h h' 'hh ' ih A C if Iweeks, but Football Homecoming week was a Dress up days special week, unlike any other. For starters, the Homecoming ceremonies and . nmassagre dance required casual attire instead the formal wear HQfT1eCOrnlng that had prevailed in past years. .Sports I liked it better being casual because a suit is a much better investment than a formal, said senior maid Amy Bishop. Another switch came when the administration played a major role in choosing dress up days. The traditional Blue and Gold Day, which usually came on Friday, was switched to Monday, and instead of Punk Day, Bruins Have Class Day was added. On this day students were encouraged to wear their best clothes, and many complained about not being able to dress in garbage bags and paint their hair silver or purple. Thursday night the junior high team won their game against Harding Academy, 14-8, giving them the conference championship. We were relieved to win, said Coach Gary Shoptaw. Harding scored a touchdown in the middle of the fourth quarter and at the end of the game they were on our one yard line. Prior to the game, freshman Catherine Caruthers was crowned Homecoming queen. St. Bruin's Day Massacre was the theme of senior Homecoming, and the students and the Bruin football team made the best of it. With a 42-12 massacre of the Newark Kangaroos, the senior high football team sent students off to the dance in the best of spirits. More people showed up for the game, so we all played better! I was really hyped up, said sophomore football player Byron Brooks. At the halftime of the senior high game, senior Sara Kremer was crowned Homecoming queen. junior maid, Beth Waters, said, I'll remember being on court even when l'm old and gray. Apollo III was the disc jockey for the Student Council sponsored dance in the lower gym. Sophomore Katie Quaintance said, I thought that making the dance informal encouraged more people to come, which made it more fun. Though students were disappointed in some of the changes, the success of the football teams and the excitement surrounding the naming of the courts made the week a memorable one. ,,,. ,i 1, .
