THAT WAS THEN THIS I5 NOW During homecoming, the school spirit livens, pulling many students out of their boring routines and into a fun-filled week of octivies. The activities started with the corona- rion oud. Laurie Little inherited the crown this year, becoming the 1986 Homecoming Queen in a close contest. All week the homecoming octivities fought against foul weother, and os o result, Power Puff football was cancelled, as well as the bonfire. Although the bonfire was smothered by the rain, school spirit was not. When Sot- urday arrived, spirits were as high as ever. Led by the queen and her court, Ioyol red and white fans filled the stadium. One couldn't ask for o more exciting game which unfortunately ended in on Assump- tion victory. The game, which started at 1:30 and extended into double overtime, left lit- tle time to prepare for the climax of the week - the dance. Homecoming night let loose hundreds of West High students into the fine restau- rants around the Quad-Cities, and then to the dance. The dance, led by the band CenterfoId, was o success ogoin this yeor. The rest of the night was enjoyable for most everyone. -Mitchell Knutson JUST HOWMANY people can you fir in a sleeping bag?

Cphoro by B. Manockb g ummer is a word synonomous with sun, surf, and sand, though these can't be found in the Quad-Cities: unless, of course, one is brave enough to cop a wave in the clear-blue waters of the Mississippi. Summer and all of its sun and sand were extended this year due to the new law stating that classes could not begin until after Labor Day. This meant that West students were constantly looking for something semi-constructive to do during the day. Some found time to go to Wacky Wat- ers or West Lake or Vanderveer Park to rub a little wax onthe car Ca privilege that most sophomores have not yet ex- periencedb. For most West students, though, working consumed most of the time. Nightly activities included a cruise on the ones or, if up for the voyage, a trip over to 26rd Avenue. Also, a number of other activities took place over the summer to keep students busy, such as the Bix Festival, the Blues Festival, Milan Festival, and the KIIK 104 Family Festival. The Mississippi Valley Fair also proved to be a nlght's enter- tainment, the Miami Sound Machine brought a flair of Latin America to Dav- enport. As the summer came to an end and the students came back to reality, the school year came into full swing with a Sudden Impact. -Todd Figanbaum SUMMER 13
