Vandalism On Our Campus? i IQV Jv V ' It nas a normal, end of the month, Sep¬ tember morning nhen I armed at East. As a nen student. 1 still had a lot to get aquainted with, but basically, everything was falling into place on my schedule and I didn ' t notice much. I noticed a couple of things though: the leaves Here turning color, the Hind nas getting nippy, toilet paper and tape Here strenn all over the East campus TOILET PAPER AND TAPE WERE STREWN ALL OVER THE EAST CAMPUS?!! I nas frantic. Some kind of diabolical group had sabotaged the place overnight and no one seemed to notice. In fact it seemed to get people more peppy! Later I found out that this nas the nork of the phantoms, a group of students nho decorate the school in order to visually shoH their spirit. It sure seemed to nork too! Eveybody nas nalking around talk¬ ing about the game that nas to come, that ne Hould eventually nin. Maybe the idea Hasn ' t so bad after all!! » r

Puff Olympiad During Loyalty Week, amny student body mem¬ bers actively participate: by dressing up on the dress-up days, being a phantom, or taking part in one of the assemblies. Another Loyalty W eek tra¬ dition has been the P.P.O. or Powder Puff Olym¬ pics, in which a group of senior girls try out for one of four teams (athletic talent is not necessarily required; P.P.O.’s basic purpose is to have fun and show Lancer spirit, while also preparing for the football game.) Four teachers volunteer to coach their team to a hopeful victory. This year Mr. Robert Vitek, Mr. Terry Blaies, Mr. Larry Patton, and Mr. George Siebert captained the teams of “Vi’s Guys’’, “Blaies’ Bandits’’, “Patton’s Tuff Puffs’’, and “Siebert’s Superstars’’. The various events were relays, three-legged races, or the famous tug of war. All teams had strong members, but “Patton’s Tuff Puffs’’ eventually won their way to the top!
