C AWINN NG WEEK Class rivalries sparked Home- coming in October, where amidst competitions and float meeting raids, Weston students united in school spirit. The week before the big football and soccer games was filled with traditional activities. On Wednesday, those who dared sprinkled the halls with costumes for Halloween Day, while on Thursday, many supported their classes by wearing assigned col- ors. Friday, blurs of blue and gold filled the cafeterias as each class painted, glued, and taped away hoping to win the Battle of the Wall. The Juniors won, but the seniors bought the most spirit links to benefit The March of Dimes and FBLA. Because of a surprise snow, Friday night, a soggy bonfire feebly blazed on the baseball fieldg despite the sopo- mors efforts, it never burned with the brightness of past years. Fi- nally the big day arrived. Soccer received equal billing this year, and a big crowd was on hand to witness the victory over New- town. Then, parents, students, and little brothers and sisters slushed their way through melt- ing snow on the football field, where the Trojans provided an equally exciting game, football style. At half-time, the band stepped out in new uniforms. The seniors took the cake in the float competition for their bicen- tennial birthday cake, even though the candles ignited the float moments after it had pa- raded around the track, turning some of the plastic icing into a gooey mess. To end the show, Mike Marozik and Julie Sinclair, accompanied by their attendants, were pro- nounced Homecoming King and Queen. The second half of the game followed, and the team,led by leading rusher Dave Doolittle, finished with a 21-6 victory. When the dance that night was over, Homecoming coordinator Gabriele Stein, as well as all the others who had helped prepare the festivities, could finally heave a sigh of relief for a job well done.

By the time the weekend came around, most of them felt they just had to get out and go somewhere. Weston, however, did not have much to offer beyond the occa- sional party or dance. To find any real entertainment, Wes- tonites had to go out of town Cusually to Westportb. There they flocked to the four the- aters showing movies such as Breaking A wa y, The Rose, Star Trek, 10, and Kramer vs. Kramer. lf by chance, they felt an urge for nourishment, Westport offered The Ships, Pizza and Brew, The Farm Shop, Sherwood Diner, and Burger King, to name a few. If they were for lookedb 18, they preferred Club 300 or Grass Roots. Otherwise, they bowled or played pool and pinball. These pastimes became more popular as rising gas prices made cruising up and down the Post Road too expensive. What- ever they did, students normal- ly came home late Saturday night for early Sunday morn- ingj, exhausted, but happy and relaxed. At one of the few night socials held by school fa danceh.
