Sparks of Enthusiasm Fly in the Fall This is fall?!! This heat is fall?!! You've got to be kidding. These were our first thoughts on August 22. 1983. when school was supposed to start. School officially started August 24th. but was dismissed early several days due to the heat. After school finally got on it's way. some really exciting events happened. First of all, the high school rooms were inhabited by little creatures from the elementary end of the building because of roof leakage. Then our football and volleyball teams sparked our enthusiasm with their efforts. On Homecoming, September 16th, the football team lost their gallant fight for victory by one point, 7-6. But our spirit didn't cease and the homecoming dance, sponsored by the student council, was a smashing success. The band got into the picture by participating in the River City Roundup Parade in Omaha on September 24th, and marched on to Grand Island's Harvest of Harmony parade on October 4th. During the week of October 3rd, the PTA started selling spirit Items, an annual event, to get everyone's spirit aroused. Parent-teacher conferences, November 1st, marked the end of fall events. The conferences were held in the gym. much to our parent's delight. Some of the parents get lost in our big school. Some students wish their report cards would. — by Carol Swirczek Mark Schelien. a Nebraska Uhiversity football player and former Waterloo student, visited Waterloo during National Hot Lunch Week Mark signed autographs for students (C.S.) The 1983-84 parent-teacher conferences were held in the school s gym. This made the conferences easier for both the teachers and the parents. (LB.)

Homecoming Week Is Full Of The spirit seemed to catch on throughout this week at W.H.S. as everyone dressed up on the different days of the week. Monday was nerd day and one has never seen so many nerds except at a bowl-a-thon. Monday night the JV football team had their first game and their first victory. The losing opponent was Cedar Bluffs. Tuesday was inside out day (or backwards day) however you chose to interpret it. That night the girls varsity team lost a tough match to Fort Calhoun. That night marked the freshman's straight win. The JV also played a good game, but lost. Wednesday was crazy day. People dressed up as everything from Sunmaid raisins to flashers. Can there be no end to the students at Waterloo High? Thursday was the long awaited and long dreaded PUNKROCK day. Out of the deepest darkest recesses of our minds came the ideas for this day. Thursday night was the evening of the bonfire sponsored by the W-Club and the announcement of the king and queen candidates.
