Headed by Diane Armstrong, home- coming committees met from Iuly until homecoming week, working, planning and preparing to make it a success. Different from lunch time activities in the past, competition was encouraged between students. In the beginning of the week students competed in a bubble gum blowing and balloon shaving contest. Later, classes battled in a tug-of-war, while the junior and senior girls engaged in a powder puff football game. The seniors won 12-0. Premiering at the end of the week was an Acad- emy Awards Assembly, a first at TOI-IS. Formally dressed student announcers awarded miniature oscars to surprised students and faculty who had been elected by the student body. Dressed in Charlie Chaplin costumes complete with moustaches and baggy pants, the song leaders did a routine they learned at summer camp. In addi- tion, Diane Armstrong and Donna Burd did a dance and pantomime routine to the song Bear Necessi- ties from the Walt Disney production Iungle Book. Afterwards the pep squad cheered to pro- mote spirit forthe homecoming game. TOP LEFT CORNER: Mr. Iames O'Brien accepts the Best Actor CBest Teacherj award from Bill Conti and Ingrid Ber- man.
