X Above: Since seniors were not allowed to continue the tradition for the 1987 Homecoming, Todd Davis, Eric Taylor, Casey White, Melinda Price, john Money, Kevin Gill, Mickey Sinai, and james jackson try to decorate the school anyway while avoiding the police and security guards that were watching the school for vandalism. Qvhoto by Heather Rogers prohibit the decorating of the school for Homecoming in 1987. To enforce Burke's decision, the school paid IISD employees overtime to guard the school from would- be vandals. In addition to the hired guards, the police kept a close eye on the school. Senior Chris Delzell explained, Everyone thought the school employees would leave at midnight, but they stayed all night. Despite the high security of the school, many seniors still attempted to fulfill the tradition. Toilet paper in hand, rebellious seniors ran toward the school only to be halted by the phrase 'fFreeze. The threats proved effective as the School remained virtually untouched by the creative hands of the Class of '88. Arguing for their cause, seniors found several reasons why they should have been allowed to personalize their school. Ra- tionalizing that good-natured vandalizing would help them capture the spirit of Homecoming, students wanted to show their involvement in school. Looking into the future, junior Eddie Chang remarked, The decorating helps create a festive lear- ning atmosphere that encourages educa- tional progressiveness. If the principals want to repress the students into a learn- ing environment resembling a Turkish prison, I guess it's their right. Burke's actions seemed a success, despite the arrests of two students and the at- tempts of many broken-hearted seniors.

Students en- joy staying home from school and basking in the sun or playing in the snow. The first holiday encountered by the students was Halloween. Dances, parties, and haunted houses throughout the city entertained the teens. Popular costumes ranged from the classic pumpkin to the modern sun-dried raisin. As the leaves fell from the tree, the scenery turned from green to rust. This set the scene for the next holiday, Thanksgiv- ing. Families gathered together to give thanks to the pilgrims who landed here in hopes of starting a new life. Senior Kathy Thompson replied, Thanksgiving offered me time to spend with my family and a chance to realize how much I should be Simpson. Randall Skuza. Brian Slattery. lVlatt Slnyclen.

Taking a sudden change, the temperature dropped and houses were elaborately decorated with colored lights. Shopping malls in December often resembled ants at a picnic. After buying presents for familly and friends, the Christmas tree looked complete with the presents below it. When Christmas arriv- ed, teens dressed in their Sunday best and spent Christmas with the family. Before returning to school after Christmas break, students attended parties to celebrate the incoming New Year. After returning to school, the next holi- day encountered was Valentine's Day. Some girlfriends and boyfriends shared an intimate evening together, while dateless people just sent carnations to friends. junior April McClurg said, I received a dozen red roses from a secret admirer, and I was curious to see who sent them to me. As flowers blossomed with April rain- falls, students decided to play tricks on their friends at the first ofthe month. Then on April 3, the Easter Bunny visited children of all ages. Young children an- ticipated their hunt for Easter eggs. Kids received white chocolate bunnies, Cadbury eggs, and M8z,M's. Students failed to realize the true mean- ing of holidays. Holidays not only gave them a time to stay home from school but also gave them a time to spend with friends and family. These special days were meant to share feelings of love and happiness with others. These holidays tended to bring out emotional feelings that students did not always show. Therefore, holidays presented an opportunity to share feelings. FreshmenlHolidays 2 2 3
