Gas Leaks And Crew Cuts Usual happenings and some original mishappenings made up the first few weeks of this year. Students driving down 10th East were welcomed back by student body officers dressed in Hawaiian attire, holding signs, waving, and helping relieve freshmen anxieties. Or perhaps they were met by the radar traps set up by Sandy City Police in response to parent groups protesting the speeding around local schools. The opening assembly (first day) had the usual: welcoming speech- es by administration and student leaders, and cheering. And the original: the first annual shaved head contest between Hal Halla- day and Mr. Doug Anderson — Hal won by a hair. At the end of the assembly everyone dispersed to different areas to pick up a new, revised, up-to-date copy of his schedule to correct summer changes and computer errors. The climax of the first week was the football victory over rival Jor- dan — 20-0. The dance no one “No gas leak was found, but everyone enjoyed the nice sunny day.” wanted to miss was held that night on the football field. Victory, and the rpusic of SLC got everyone spirited for the upcoming year, ex- cept maybe a couple close neigh- bors. On September 4, during second lunch, a sulfurous odor was detect- ed upstairs. The fire alarm was sounded the building evacuated, leaving half-eaten lunches on trays in the commons. Everyone re- mained outside for about 50 min- utes until men from Mountain Fuel Supply checked the school for a gas leak. No gas leak was found, but everyone enjoyed the nice, sunny day. 12 ■ First Weeks Hawks' driveway gets a fresh coat of paint by Jill Thorpe, Mary Tenney, and Steph Dangerfield.

Hawks’ Fair Held Inside Homecoming week began this year with “I’m A Hawk Day.” Stu- dents with spirit dressed up in the school colors and wore their Hawk-T-Shirts. The Alta Fair was held on Wednesday. Usually the Fair is held outdoors in the stadium, but due to the rainy and extremly cold weather, it was held inside. Stu- dents were dismissed from fourth period to attend. Booths were placed around the fieldhouse for food and games. Debate provided pizza from Pizza Hut. The Senior class served snow cones for cool- ing off. A kissing booth was spon- sored by the sophomore class and the thespians provided hot dogs. Also, the foreign language club prepared food: French quiche- lorraine, delicious salad, and Ger- man-chocolate mousse. A contest was held to see which first period class could design the best banner. The banners were hung throughout the halls. The judging took place on Thursday and Mr. Allen’s art class was awarded first place. “A contest was held to see which first period class could design the best banner.” On Friday, a Homecoming as- sembly and parade were held out- side in the stadium. The parade began with a sheriff sounding off his sirens. Each class sponsored a float with the student body officers in attendance. Many clubs spon- sored a float for the parade. A pep assembly was held after the pa- rade. After a victorious football game against Granite, ending in a score of 20 to 7, the Homecoming Dance was held in the commons. Pink balloons were used for deco- rations. A rosy colored punch was served to all the hot dancers. The band, Christopher, played music from rock and roll to hard rock. A.J. McNichol and Bryan Park decide whether or not to support songleaders by parting with some of their money. 14 H Homecoming
