I'll never forget the ۸7 conflict where three students were suspended and the whole © incident was scrutinized by the community; threats from par- ents and the administration to cancel the Mistletoe Dance un- = less students behaved themselves; and the traditional Home- ] coming bonfire was extinguished from Ames High, thanks to } a new city ordinance since it had been so dry during the sum- j mer. “Oh, yeah — Homecoming and other football games were T quite different this year. Remember the ‘pumpkin heads’ and } the orange-hatted senior guys? They really helped to generate T some school spirit at the games. And then there was the Powd- N erpuff game and the senior 'hitlists'. But, enthusiasm deflated H for that game since it was raining. H Rain and unusually cold weather also hit during Drake P Relays and Veishea, which ruined the typical “sunbathing” tra- }) dition. It was impossible to find the sun when we needed it! | And don't forget another disappearance — the pencil jj sharpener handles were missing all year, due to senior ۲ pranks!” That was such a hassle, my pencil was continually dull ٦ Well, dull or not, the year had its ups and downs. Whether ۳۲ we were joking or serious, | think we made it through OK. In: fact, | may even miss these brick walls this summer!

Write decorating for the Spirit Sweet- heart Dance, sophomore Jennie Jones, junior Jennifer Holden and senior Craig Neal put pa- per hearts in the cafeteria to create Valentine spirit. (Photo by Amanda Jones) | hat's up? | just got back from Terpsichore practice. Man, | can't wait to wear a skin-tight unitard in front of the entire school — how embarrassing! Come on! | know that you've done way more embarras- sing things than that! Like your fender-bender Friday night in the middle of Campustown, when two cop cars came with lights flashing. That qualifies as embarrassing in my book! Yeah, you re right. My face was a little red! But at least my car is such a junker that another dent didnt matter. Speaking of weekends, what did you do? Well, actually | was a prisoner in my own home ... | was grounded! “Grounded? Give me a break — you're 18 years old! What happened? Did you get in another fight with your sis- ter? Actually, we've been getting along pretty well lately. This was a messy situation ... my mom told me that | was a slob and that | was stuck inside until | cleaned my room. Obviously | didn't get it done until Sunday night! ` Really? That's terrible... but at least you finished it so you can go out this weekend. Don't forget about our plans to go shopping for Prom dresses. Even though we don t have dates yet, it can t hurt to prepare! ` What are you, some kind of Boy Scout or something? Besides, even if | did have a date, | wouldn't have any money to buy a pair of pantyhose, let alone a Prom dress. | need a job! Well, you'd never have any time to goof off if you did have one. Remember, only 52 days til we graduate! | looked on the Senior Countdown today. Seriously? That's awesome. Im getting Senoritis al- ready. | can't belive that after 13 years and millions of days of Ames Public schooling, we'll be ending it all on May 24 when we get our diplomas at Hilton.” | know — it's wild! We just have to remember to make the most of the next two months and have some serious fun! Of course we will! When you have only two months of school left, you can't be serious!
