OOV It was the best Spirit Da I 've seen since I 've been here. r - Matt Payne 'D l 3 ATS H ff The responsibilities of any senior class officer are numerous and time consuming. The 1985 sen- ior class officers' duties were no exception. The mort important of these was at the beginning of the yean Senior Spirit Day. A popular item for this event was DAVE SACI'I'S and JASON ROSS'S hand built saloon, which went great with the theme: 'How The Seniors Won The West. Spirit Day was hard work for us, but well worth the effort. We were pleased with the outcome and thankful to GENEVIEVE TALAVERA as well as SHERYI.. WOLF, LIZ TAIT, MARGARFI' NARUSE and so many others that put all their time into helping us win this naditional event. Our next I-lik was the Coronation Dance. I never realized the amount of preparation that went into holding a dance. I began looking around during the su.mmer for just the right place to hold such a special occasion. After looking at several locations we finally decided on the Merid- ian Hotel in Newport Beach, a place that was just opening in time for the dance. We chose this place because of its wonderful reputation in Paris. I ltnew it would be a hit for our theme Winter In Paris. After months of preparation, the big night finally arrived, leaving special memories with everyone. Coronation was not the end of our challenges, we still had Senior Baccalaureate, Senior Brealt- fast, as well as leaving our BS mark by donating by Brigitte Prevot a senior Along with the duties of senior dass vice president, I was also co-worker of the half time show at homecoming and in charge of the Lip Sync held one day at lunch. Of course, none of this could have happened without the guid- ance of MS. THEILMAN, and I know TRACY BURDINE, SHAUNNA LARSEN, LIZ TAIT and all of the senators cou.ldn't have made it through our year without MH. BRUNT, our senior advisor, or the unity of the senior dass. As senior dau vice-president, I felt it was an honor to be included as an ASB member. I felt a special closeness among the members of the cabi- net. Being involved in such a variety of activities this year has definitely made a memorable impact on my senior year. ..i ' page by Susie Kimball and Teri Thene gf lf A1l's quiet on the Western Front.

Well, it was probably through the long, hard hours they spent painting, building and organizing on week days and weekends before Spirit Day. Sophomores couldn't believe their eyes when they entered school Thursday morning, said senior, Henry Wiehebrink. Seniors built props which included a saloon, a kissing booth and even campsites, complete with teepees and barbeque pits. Among the many signs vividly painted and hung around school were tumble weeds hauled in from the hills. Though they did create a small mess, they added reality to Villa Park's western theme. Lori Beechan commented, The school looked like some- thing you might see on 'Bonanza' The saloon, built by Dave Sach and Jason Ross, was the center of attention. Within the 35 minutes of lunch, the song leaders performed a can-can dance, a few guys along with dance choreography per- formed a square dance, other senior guys played banjos and guitars and lip synced to The Devil Went Down To Georgia, Kathy Bogart and Kyle Myers announced The Solid Rope Count Down and the Villa Park football team was saluted. At the end of lunch the seniors chanted: We are the class of 85, And we have won the west! We put the Chuds and Plebes to shame, The seniors are the best! Craig Anderson summed it up with, We weren't sure how much we had done when we were working on it, but when we put it all together we were amazed and happy with the results. Excited Seniors watch the show put on at lunch. The skits really held the crowd's interest,
