Anytime | pass by anything chocolate, | can t help myself — | have to taste it!” - Senior Madhu Dahiya veryone had heard about the four basic food groups, but many chose to ig- nore them. Instead, there was another “basic” food group that students often seemed obsessed with — the sweets group. Sugar, which was an essen- tial part of students' diets, came in forms of pop, ice cream, cookies, doughnuts, cake, endless varieties of candy and other sweet junk” foods. Sugar, and the energy that people derived from it, was so important to some in- dividuals that they went to all lengths to satisfy their sweet tooths. Often, juniors and sophomores risked spend- ing a few days in Restricted Study Hall by venturing out-of-bounds' to buy food. Other students kept a large supply of sweets in their lockers, reserved for free periods, lunch and the five minutes between classes. Sometimes | bring Pepsi to school to drink during lunch; it keeps me going for the rest of the day, said senior Joe Surber. Many students were obsessed with the cookies at Do Biz. Sophomore Marylin Lund gazes at the different varieties. (Photo by Amy Bleyle) A few people even became upset when they were denied their favorite sweets. Senior Sherri Middendorf admitted to becoming angry whenever her mother forgot to buy Chocolate Fudge Pop Tarts. “Its not that | really need it, but the sugar helps get me going in the mornings, she said. The majority of students liked sugary foods, but peo- ple often had different opi- nions about which sweets were the best. To some, the names ''Mar- ble Slab Creamery”, “Baskin Robbins”, ‘Boyd's’ and Dairy Queen' were synonymous with the word Heaven. To these people, no other food could top ice cream. Junior Ben Schafer com- mented, ''| like to think that ice cream is God's gift to mankind.” To others, pop, whether it was Pepsi, Classic Coke, Mountain Dew, or Dr. Pep- per, ranked high above all the rest of the sweets. “| cant go a whole day without having at least one bottle of pop, said junior Lisa Myers. And to other people, things such as a Snickers bar, a licorice stick, a box of Nerds or a piece of bubble gum were the ultimate junk foods. Sophomore Johnna Folk- mann remarked, ‘‘Candy gives me a natural high! Although not everyone could agree on what the best kind of sweet treat was, most students did seem to feel the same way as sophomore Eric Fawcett who said, “Junk food is as important to me as water is to amphibians.” - Janelle Hall -— 2 “4

(Photo by Amy Bleyle) OemeercCeOrmeieneg OPES STUMBLE Because of a lack of spirit and a 14-7 loss to Lincoln, the only highlights of the week were coronation and the Mohawk Crew. Homecoming week hype, or the lack of it, began on Monday Oc- tober 23 with an assembly announcing the 12 candidates for king and queen. The turnout was typical — more people studied or left school than at- tended the event. Sophomore Michelle Ferguson commented No one really cared about the assembly. It was just like the others — the cheerleaders did their part, and no one else bothered.” A small percentage of the students dared to L.] rm amem m mnm ÄER eg show up clad in beachwear or dragging a twin along on dress- up days. Senior Abby Sage, who dared to wear a kimono on 'Twin Day’, said “I thought it would be fun. It made me mad, though, because no one else dressed up.” Junior Susan Huss felt that the week was no different than usual. Its always the same. The people who decide on the days are the ones who participate. The rest treat it just like any other day.” The week lacked spirit TRUE ROYALTY. Twelve sen- iors were nominated by their class as the Homecoming court. Front Row: Lisa Tice and Bill Norris. Second Row: Beth Evans and Phil Bishop. Third Row: Leah Pease and Jon Gohman. Fourth Row: Patti Stevens and Tim Hughes. Fifth Row: Ann Klufa and Chris Eagan. Back Row: LuAnn Forssman and Bob Cox. (Photo by Erik Munson) GET THE BEAT.

Cere- monies were held on Thursday in a packed auditorium. Shortly after an out- burst by 30 or more mohawked' football players, seniors Bob Cox and LuAnn Forss- man were crowned king and queen. The bonfire returned after a year's absence, to a large crowd of ex- cited Little Cyclones preparing for a predicted victory over Des Moines Lincoln. The enthusiasm of coronation soon died away as the bonfire burned and students went home. The week came to a close on a depressing note. Unlike Forss- man's enthusiastic yell at Coronation, “Let's kill em the Little Cyclones lost to the Lincoln Railsplitters, 14-7. This saddening loss caused the attendance at the traditional Homecoming Dance to drop drastically. -Kymberly Daywitt
