b u New spirit days and a parade contribute to the success of B-Day ' TASTE OF SWEET SUCCESS Hats, shades, pajamas and hillbillies invaded the halls during an untypical week at Senior High. The Broncs dressed as wild as possible, to show their pride and enthu- siam during spirit week, Oct. 4 through 7. More freshmen and sopho- mores chose to sit out and watch the upperclassmen par- ticipate in spirit days, proving that pride comes with age. 1 was disappointed to see that most of the sophomores weren't dressed up until Fri- day, senior Jennifer Strouth said. But, the seniors and jun- iors got into it all week. Homecoming was a blur of school colors, with a parade that wound its way around Pioneer Park, a first-time oc- currence in this decade made possible by Student Council President David Quiroz, T was marching in the band. 11 was OK, except for thestupid gjrl behind me, junior Mark Soueidisaid. Shekept yelling, 'SLOW DOWN!' and 'SPEED UP!' A ARG! The sound of the dismissal bell at 12:15 p.m. Friday set off a chain of events that went on into the late afternoon. Various clubs and sports teams spon- sored booths with money- making events for the tradi- tional carnival outside at Day- lis Stadium. The B-Day bomber at- tracted the most attention and participation. Student Council officers borrowed a horse from sophomore Danielle White which they fed and put in a field. They sold squareyard s of the practice field fora quarter a square. The students bought squares in hopes the horse would bomb on their square. However, the horse didn’t co- operate. I spent two hours sitting behind the horse with a camara waiting for it to do its busi- ness, Senior Class treasurer Keith McBride said. Unfortu- nately, it ran away from us and dumped its load on the run- ning track. Even though the Broncs lost the football game against Charles M. Russell High School, the students were filled with homecoming spirit and support for the team. Sev- enty-five percent of students polled said B-Day was better than last year. Cheerleaders sponsored the informal dance in the old gy m after the football game. B-Day royalty was named at 11:00p.m. 'The best part of B-Day was my B-Day kiss that came true when 1 thought it wouldn't, junior Tom Miller said. Who says B-Day isn't magical?

Counselors volunteer their time to make Camp Pita possible A A A A A A i » A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A HEERFULLY GIVING Two Senior High students spent n week of their summer enjoying the woods, sitting near a creek, and helping handicap children. The volunteer counselors helped the children dress, eat, and find their way around the camp. The activities included horse-back riding, swim- ming, bowling, and relay races. After a long day, the counselors often took a stroll in the woods to relax. Junior Treg Silkwood learned to admire the handi- capped. He remembered an amusing camper who he en- joyed having in his cabin. The camper was eligible for the camp because of his deformed feet that required him to walk with crutches. Bob was really hilarious be- cause he'd sit on top of his bed and call everyone who walked by him 'fatso' for no reason, Silkwood said. Each counselor was respon- sible for four or five children. Junior Grace Berube had a difficult time adjusting to the campers' mental ages. At first Ed talk to them like little kids, even though they weren't, Berube said, but af- ter a while, I learned to treat them like a friend. Berube putin much time get- ting the children ready in the morning because she would have to describe details that she assumed they already knew how to do. It was hard to adjust be- cause I'd have to explain things I assumed they'd know how to do, Berube said, like brushing their teeth. Though the camp required much work, Berube admitted that it was rewarding. It was great helping them, she said, They have a lot to give. It; Debbie Quiroz NEATLY PACKED.
