Sounds of September cause halls to ring with endless hatter Did you hear about John and Amy . . . My parents would kill me if they knew ] can't believe he actually said that to . . . Gossip! New school year, new people, new situations, they all were part of September. In the first month of school the halls were once again filled with chatter. Shouts of. “Hey. it's a sophomore! were heard on Howdy Day. Poor sophomores did everything possible to escape the mandatory singing of the fight song. Strains of the song caught one's ear as captured underclassmen fell to their elders’ prey. “Actually it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. commented Alan Sticht. On Howdy Day I really did meet more people, embarrassment tends to help. Steve Price stated. “It was a lot of fun trying not to be noticed. Phil Johnson said. Boisterous fans yelled cheers at the first pep rally. However, because of House Bill 72, it was disguised as an orientation assembly. This label caused an uproar when students were forced to sit with their sixth period classes instead of their graduating classes. But once again Principal James Crouch reminded us. How sweet it is to be back in Colt Country! Expectations rose not only for football season, but also for the perfect date. Trembling high pitched voices discussed who they would ask out for Sadie Hawkins Week. After the dreaded deed was accomplished, jubilant celebrations were observed. Having the tables turned gave me the chance to ask out the guy that sits behind me in English. commented Cathy Ruppert. At PTA Open House, teachers were seen conversing with parents. Discus- sions about the new grading system and disciplinary actions topped the even- ings’ conversation. Mrs. Flo Francis, senior das sponsor, talks with Dr. and Mrs. Theron Brooks at open house. To show their appreciation. Kathy Weber represents the cheerleaders in presenting Prin- cipal James Crouch with a green monogrammed silk neck tie. John ACTIVITIES 17

Halloween atmosphere builds while all welcome chance to asquerade Crimson . . . gold . . . trick or treat . . . jack o’ lanterns ... rainy football games . . . What are you going to be for Halloween? . . . Ting. Tang. Walla Walla Bing Bang! . . . falling leaves . . . dressing-up . . . characterization ... Scapino . . . Masquerade! As the year progressed, activities became more and more time- consuming. Halloween was ap- proaching and the Student Council held a masquerade dance. Students disguised themselves as everything from clowns to flashers. On the same night as the Mas- querade Dance, the drama depart- ment opened the play Scapino for the second night. Opening night was a suc- cess with attendance being in abundance. I saw Scapino on opening night. It was really funny! The bag-lady (Stacey Conaway) was the best! commented Andie Lively. Working on Scapino was a real challenge for me. I played an older man which was kind of hard, but most enjoyable, Todd Minshall stated. It was so good! I loved it when Chris Weems swung out on the stage on that rope. It looked like he hit the wall, but he appeared to be okay, Michelle Middleton said. After the play, many of the cast ap- peared at the dance making it seem like a huge Hollywood” party after a movie debut. According to David Hussey, “It was really a blast! It made us feel like we had a lot of support.” After attending a political forum, seniors overwhelmingly voted for President Ronald Reagan in a mock election. Government students plann- ed the forum which included talks by all candidates or their representatives ranging from county to national offices. MoOy M y«f By dressing up as a flasher, Mike Carrell gives his Student Council class a quick thrill. All in fun. Scott Nichol and Kenny Pujats joke around in the halls on Halloween Dress-up Day.
