Purple Reign The excitement was in the air weeks in advance. Individual students and various organizations around campus prepared for the favorite activity of football season: the Homecoming Assembly and crowning of the queen. The Homecoming Assembly normally brings tradition and spiritual meaning to the lives of all Bisons, but the 1984 assembly had political and proceedural implica- tions as well. For the first time since the im- plementation of House Bill 72, students were allowed to have a rally during class time. Although it was a mere fifteen minutes out of seventh period, it was time very well spent, and educational of course. The assembly featured some ot the most active student participation of the year, but it was clearly stated by Mrs. Joyce Cooper that this assembly was to be a learning experience. ln- structional it was, especially to those Freshmen who had not been able to attend a previous rally, lor here they were able to see all ol Sunsets glory and pride come alive. Although all the educational reform may have put a damper on Bison spirit for previous assemblies, no lack of enthusiasm was noted here. One of the most sentimental and touching moments occured when Bo passed along his message of inspiration and encouragement dur- ing the ceremony known as the Bison Speaks. Along with the much anticipated presentation of the 1984 Homecoming Oueen, P. J. Gonzales, and her court, Suzanne Burkhart, Jenny Walling, Nancy Moreland, and Janita Romero, came the not so traditional and rather unexpected flashing by Student Body President, Bennett Phelps whose message Kill Pinkston, appeared on his t-shirt and shorts. No one was left behind in the array of activities which took place during the week of October 29-November 3rd. The cling and clatter of bells on the girls' Homecoming mums could be heard through the halls while Mrs. Greuling's Homeroom enjoyed the pizza party awarded to them for winning the Door Decorating Contest. The impact was huge for Seniors, because it was a time to reflect on the Hnast years spent at Sunset, ike recalling your first assembly Imelda Villela A Varsity Cheerleaders, Caroline Kelly, Tim Klein, Alethia Mouton, Edward Ramirez, San- dy Bell and George Gamez stand through a touching mo- ment of silence as the Bison speaks. yi ss.. . as A. .A 1122-:ss in A.
