DAY IN THE PARK ' Day in the Park ' raises $135,000 for local schools Balloons and game booths covered Roxbury Park as parents and children of Beverly Hills played games, won prizes, ate food, listened to music, and enjoyed themselves. This community event, Down But Not Out in Beverly Hills, attracted approximately 12,000 people and lasted from 10:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28. According to Murray Fischer, one of the event ' s four main organizers, the carnival raised $135,000, ex- ceeding the fundraising goal by about $20,000. On the day of the carnival. $66,000 was raised. The rest of the money came from 40 private sponsors who paid anywhere from $500 to $2,500. This money goes directly to the school district. Co-sponsored by The Revenue Enhancement Committee, with Beverly student liaison Eric Feigenbaum, and the Beverly Hills Education Foundation, this day was dedicated to the past, present, and future children of Beverly Hills. To start off this event, students of Beverly Hills participated in a parade. These people included Beverly ' s band, cheerleaders, and drill team, as well as representatives from all five Beverly Hills schools and a Brownie Troop. Special attractions included jugglers, prize drawings, a dance contest, a bake sale, a silent auction, face painting, mimes, a karate show, and fire trucks. Also, the Beverly Hills Fireman ' s Association cooked hotdogs at their portable firehouse. According to one parent. Tish Young. It seemed as though everyone was on the same side at the carnival, having a good time to help and support our schools. Members of Beverly ' s ASB and Beverly Hills teachers manned the more than 35 booths, including the popular mouse booth. This booth, headed in part by Senior Class Representatives Michelle Gold and Joe Rosen, centered around a mouse. The object of the game was to get the mouse to run down the hole of the color bet When asked why this booth attracted so many people. Gold stated. It was like gambling. People like gambling. Above the din of a typical fair, music, ranging from U2 to The Monkees. could be heard. The event was disc-jockeyed by Beverly sophomores Laura Levin and Eric Pincus. The two were asked to deejay the carnival in support of their community ' s schools. ASB President Evan Silver called the entire after- noon an absolute success. This event raised money for local schools, as well as unified the entire community — teachers, students, parents, and administrators, he stated. ' ■::,l£r?. ' «» r: r Day in the Park

HOMECOMING MOTORCADE Nominees gear up for Homecoming Motorcade At halftime, the score was 7-0 with Santa Monica High School leading. Nevertheless. Beverly students were still in high spints when the fourth annual homecoming motorcade started with a bang! With capacity crowds cheering from the bleachers, hundreds of multi-colored balloons were released to light up the sky. This was the beginning of an eagerly anticipated halftime. To prepare for this event, the spirit squads had spent several hours each day these past months practicing their routine of perfectly timed movements. While members of the band played the song Tequilla. drill team and spirit danced to the pulasting beat. Drill team advisor Dixie Zovak stated. 1 was really proud of the girls. It was wonderful to see them learn and polish all their movements in a short period of time and to per- form them flawlessly. They looked fabulous. The drill team ended its routine with the traditional rendition of the high kick. In one long line, arm in arm. the girls kicked to the famous tune That ' s En- tertainment. Members of the drill team and flag team welcomed the nominees for the Royal Court by standing on either side of the passing cars. As each car passed, the girls saluted the nominees. The nominees were driven in 19 different convertibles. They ranged from classics, such as two Mercedes and a Jaguar, to the present-driven Mustang convertible and ever-popular Volkswagen Cabriolet. The cars were driven by students, parents, and people in the community. Vice-Principal Ben Bushman gave each candidate a T-shirt to wear while parading around the track. These T-shirts featured the school district ' s new copy-righted logo of Beverly Hills High School. Senior president Eric Feigenbaum and senior representative Matt Feinstein were in charge of organiz- ing this event. We wanted everything to look great so we spent a lot of time blow- ing balloons and decorating the field, track, and cars with streamers. said Feinstein. The halftime festivities came to a climatic ending. The band played the Beverly Fight Song while the drill team and the spirit groups aroused the audience and prepared them for an exciting second half of football. And excitement it was! Beverly ' s varsity football players made a strong comeback tying the score 10-10 and sharing the Ocean League championship with Santa Monica High School. ASB advisor Elaine Falk concluded. From the reaction of the crowd, it seemed that Motorcade ' 86 was enjoyed by all participants. 26- Jr Sr Night
