108 ORGANIZATIONS HOMECOMING Slaves, stars, gangs prowl premises Leather jackets and chains, white sheets and ivy garlands till hallways during Dctober Spirit Week White sheets floated down the halls before the first bell rang on Monday, October 17th. Were ghosts invading our corridors? No, but Roman gods and goddesses were. Monday which was Toga Day marked the beginning of Spirit Week. Students wrapped themselves in white sheets, wore sandals, and crowned their heads with ivy. Chains, leather jackets, and spike-heeled boots were pop- ular articles of clothing on Tuesday. Gang Day was quite new to the students. l think the reason it was so fun was because we've never done anything like it before. l didn't even have to comb my hair, said sophomore Jannie Brady. Mae West, the Lone Flang- er, Hawkeye Pierce, the Pink Panther, and other celebrities graced the classrooms on Wednesday with Famous Per- son's Day. Students and teachers were encouraged to dress up like their favorite tele- vision or movie personality. I just love pink, and the Pink Panther is my idol. Besides, l always wanted to come to school in my pajamas, said sophomore Teresa Rohn. Thursday and Friday brought the traditional festivi- ties of Slave Day and Maroon and Gold Day. The bonfire and Snake dance were held on Thursday night. Peek-a-boo. Sneaking up the stairs at half past midnight is senior Lesa Martinek after she finishes decorating Mike F?ueck's house.

110 ORGANIZATIONS HOMECOMING Enthusiasm kept in spite of showers Varsity drowns Mission Valley Vikings 'Up Where We Belong' depicts theme for dance Mist floated slowly to the ground as the varsity foot- ballers warmed up on the field before the start of the game against Mission Val- ley. Even though it was the annual Homecoming foot- ball game, few spectators gathered to watch. Those who did were cozily wrapped in blankets and protected by umbrellas. But the rain didn't dam- pen the spirits of the foot- ball team, nor did it hinder their enthusiasm for a win. When half-time arrived, the boys had tied the Vikings 7- 7. At this time the candi- dates took their places 'on the field. Rain poured from the sky, making it impossi- ble for the photographers to take pictures. lt was really bad be- cause we'll never be able to recapture that moment when the royalty was an- nounced, said junior Con- nie Robbins. Mary Dekat was crowned Queen by King Jess Ad- ams. The attendants were Kim Frank and Monte Ellis and Angie Suther and Shel- don Sala. As the buzzer sounded the end of the fourth quar- ter, the footballers had tri- umphed over the Vikings, 17-7. The dance, with the theme of Up Where We Belong was held directly after the game. And they all fall down. Partici- pating in the games before the bonfire, the seniors hurry to finish their pyramid before the other classes. Photo by Beth Branden- burg.
