Class frolics highlight fall; students boogie at Pigskin Prom Several exciting events highlighted the fall semester class activities. To begin with, Senior Dean Marks or- ganized the Class of ' 77 popcorn sale. A popcorn machine was popping at lunch for a week on the third floor patio. The class also held a ping-pong tournament. Though there was no win- ner, the seniors involved had a good time. For Junior-Senior Night, the twelfth grade sold gym shorts with their mascot, a lion, on the front. Over $200 was made by the juniors from their Ghirardelli candy sale. They also had a class T-shirt sale featuring their mascot, a dragon. The sophomores began the year with two Woody Allen films, At Earth ' s Core and What Up Tiger Lilly? Later in the semester, the class twist- ed their lunch away in a twister tour- nament. Organized by Amy Prince and Mike Canter, the students met on the front lawn to play the 1960s game. Twister. For the first time, a tour of NBC and filming of Chico and the Man was sponsored by the Class of ' 79. Streamers and balloons set the scene at the Pigskin Prom in November. Walking into the cafeteria, dance- goers saw what resembled a football field with a grandstand and cheer- leaders and heard the music of the band Higher Ground. Headed by Jodi Levine and Ivy Cohen, the Junior Class sponsored the dance. Shelli Schaffer was crowned Varsity Sweetheart with her princesses Car- roll Day and Rebecca Fields. The royalty was selected by the football team. 22 • fall activities

7m King Hosea an Queen Elizabet rule over court As the drum rolled, Hosea Fortune, Beverly ' s first basketball king, walked up the aisle of the auditorium to meet his queen, Elizabeth Santhon. It was undoubtably strange, as this was the first time the school had honored a king in the basketball coronation. In November a new idea came into; being as a result of the sex descrim- , ination act. Title IX. Instead of sim- ply having a queen and her court to reign over the basketball tournament, a king and his court were added. Re- ' placing the traditional ways, the girls were escourted by their male oppo- sites, instead of their fathers which was done last year, at the Annual Beverly Basketball Invitational, j .Ci- m V ' 24 • royal court
