The game, against Buena Park, was won handily by Anahi and was the decisive factor of a three-way tie for second place in the Freeway League.

Rock Dodger entertained Colonists with a wide variety of fast and slow music. Senior members of the court were Vince Dow- ney, Joe Russell, Steve Evans, Karen Tanaka, Diana Gunther, and Jessica Rodriguez. Underclass court members were Chuck Ward, Carlos Ayala, Ambrocio Gutierrez, Teresa Gullage, Elena Thompson, and Teresa Russo for homecoming. HOMECOMING-21

Pep assemblies inspired To break the monotony of the students ' strenu- ous class schedules, everyone was able to plan on pep assemblies! The excitement began as the Ana- heim Band played the traditional Conquest and the Colonist athletes entered through a tunnel formed by the Colonettes. Colorful decorations served to inspire the Colony. The cheers and skits performed by the Colonettes were geared toward promoting enthusiasm against the opposing team. Various speakers such as Coach Stahlhut, psyched the players to put forth the team effort that was crucial for the game and the players ' attitudes. 1. Steve Torres, Colonist fullback, entered through the tunnel which became an honor and privelege for him and all the other team mem- bers of Anaheim. 2. Below, the football players paraded through the tunnel and took their special seats on the gym floor. The Colonettes felt a true sense of pride. 3. Coach Morrie Muench volunteered to dress himself as a Loara Saxon. Muench was subjected to harrassment from the crowd as he march around the assembly. 4. Go Big A was one of Anahi ' s most popular cheers. Traditional cheers were favored among the Colony because of the words that spike of our proud spirit. 5. Claire Overholt danced the Pogo with seven other seniors who performed a skit which took the popular Punk Rock songs and likened the words with the game. 6. During the Homecoming pep assembly, the guest speaker. Mr. Bosna, informed the student body of the meaning behind the banner. Home of Champions. 7. United together as Anaheim Colonists, the students joined in sing- ing the traditional Alma Mater which marks the close of assemblies. 22-PEP ASSEMBLIES
