With its rugged, pioneering history it had became the home of approximately 500,000 people who enjoyed the casual, relaxed atmosphere it offered. Although formally established in 1776, Tucson's history dates back hun- dreds of years when Indian tribes farmed the valley. The city acquired its name from the Papago Indian word Styook-zone which means at base of black hill. Surrounded by the majestic Santa N Catalina mountains, the Santa Rita's, the Tucson mountains, and the Rincon range, Tucsonans were offered a variety of activities including camping, fishing, hiking, picnicking, swimming, and skiing in the fresh air.

Ea eSnirit Awesom - A Sharing a moment are Homecoming Royalty Cheryl Weir and joe Fife. P Freshmen Mike Morgan and Venita Angelas enjoy 1982 Homecoming. Design: Rosina Catalano Copyzjean McKnight Photos: Photo Pub omecoming is a special and fun time for everyone. Santa Rita students, graduates, faculty, and friends all enjoyed the festivities. Homecoming marked the ten year reunion of S.R.'s graduating class of 1972. S.R. had changed a lot in ten years but the awesome school spirit was still there as we cheered the Eagles on to an important, but easy 22-0, victory over the Pueblo Warriors. Halftime tension rose as the Homecoming floats rattled and rolled their way onto the field for final judg- ing. The juniors and Seniors placed third and fourth, the Sophomores se- cond, while the Freshmen, surprisingly, took the coveted first place. Homecom- ing Royalty were announced and escorted onto the field in classic Corvet- tes. Freshmen Prince and Princess Mike Morgan and Venita Angelas, Sophomore Prince and Princess Steve Scionti and Meg Blair, with junior Prince and Princess Travis Good and Diana Doughty, and Senior Prince and Princess Greg Rollins and Debbie Nelson eagerly awaited the coronation of Homecoming Queen Cheryl Weir and Kingjoe Fife. Dress-up days provided the Eagles with an opportunity to show their school spirit. Eagles donned horn- rimmed glasses, clashing colors and perverted behavior for Nerd Day, and funky, bazaar costumes for Punk Rocker Day. Cool sea breezes provoked Surfer Day, and on Formal Day we sported our Sunday best. Our new Eagle mascot hatched its shell at the tradi- tional Green and Gold Homecoming Assembly, while the spirited student body chanted class cheers, and reveled in the glory of the Eagle way of life. fi 'Q .7 ,hm . , 4.1, .,, i.,..
