I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa. Surprise! . ' fi . , may Christmas Formal By: Ruth Grunbling Trees trimmed with cranber- ries and popcorn, a wooden sleigh, and hot apple cider helped to transform the North Campus cafeteria on Sat. Dec. 20, into an Old Fashioned Christmas. I really enjoyed this year's formal, said Shannon Wilson, student body vice president. I think Wilson, student body vice president. l think the theme and decorations helped every- one get in the Christmas spirit. Decorations consisted of win- dows frosted with spray snow, lights covering the ceiling to re- present stars, and tables orna- mented with greenery. ln the past there had been two identi- cally decorated trees but this year the trees were decorated in two different color schemes. One was trimmed in red and the other was trimmed in gold, said senior Rhonda Wiley. We wanted to decorate them com- pletely different this year, she added. There were also 'old fa- shioned' toys, wrapped pack- ages, and a wooden sleigh sur- rounding the two trees. Wilson thought the decora- tions set a nice mood and pro- vided a warm, friendly atmo- sphere. The music was provided by Don Davis from the West Ari- zona Music Machine CWAMMJ. He provided fantastic lighting and a unique sound system, saidjunior Trang Nguyen, music committee chairperson. Top 40 hits consisting of mostly slow songs were played, according to Nguyen. Refreshments consisted of Christmas cookies, cakes, can- dies, hot apple cider, and fruit punch. Pictures were taken by Fran Smith Studios. Approximately 160 couples attended. Santa and Mrs. Claus were also there to greet all those who attended and listened to Christ- mas wishes. 'il think the most special thing about the formal was seeing ev- eryone dressed up and being with your friends, said senior Lisa Koppelman. Sweethearts enjoy themselves dancing at the Christmas Formal.

Open wide! rf 1. ak if -EQ' 'R Nothing beats a great pair of legs. Homecoming By Sharon E. Alkine You know it's here: you can feel it all around! Hot to mention the fact that you are surrounded by the Roman Empire in togas. That's right, it's Homecom- ing! That wild and crazy week when you can dress almost any way you please and not get fit- ted for a straight jacket. Along with the thrill of dress- ing as nerds, Agua Fria is exper- iencing something that seems somewhat hidden during nor- From the shadows of the school-ground comes the overwhelm ing of school spirit and stomp an underclassman. But why does this change occur and om? mal schools days. ing feel- desire to where does it come fr The answer to this, it seems, lies in the students themselves. Unable to resist that crazy feel- ing, they throw off their cool ex- terior and let their true, bizzare selves show. All over the cam- pus, students are banding to- ideas for gether to discuss floats, hall decorations and ex- tra-curricular activities. The halls are filled with post- ers declaring the supremacy of various clubs and classes while a warehouse is engulfed in the smell of spraypaint and the sounds of hammers, saws and the latest gossip. The exhilarat- ing feeling of competition finds everyone. Senior class presi- dent Pascal Brown says, 'lTen- sions are high, but we're getting a lot done and having loads of laughs. How could anyone resist tak- ing part? ln the morning, classes are greeted by various re-run themes to get them in the Homecoming mood while, dur- ing lunch, they can partake in slightly unique noontime activi- ties. After school, floats are cre- ated right before your eyes! There is not time to lose the spirit. Junior Stacy Rose agrees, I love it! They keep us busy all the time in a fun way. Homecoming is something that just has to be experienced! Next year you, too, will be able to say, I survived Homecoming ,86 ,, 'J A 1-, . , . .
