The Early Morning Hours Are Spent Decking The Halls It was here. Homecoming Day had finally come. After weeks of preparation, the classes were ready to put up their displays. Little groups of people worked like elves throughout the early morning hours decorating hallways with signs, streamers, and balloons. Clubs decorated their doors, while the click of staple guns echoed through the buildings. Students came to school to find a vast array of colorful displays covering the courtyard. The first-place senior display featured many different scenes, all predicting an overwhelming victory for the Indians. The second-place junior display featured a three- dimensional cloud and rainbow, while the third-place sophomore display featured a castle topped with spires. Although the freshman class came in last, their display showed tremendous creativity. Theirs was the only display to be made totally of the traditional chicken wire and crepe paper. As the students rushed into school on Homecoming morning, they were consumed with spirit. The many decorations and activities were designed to do just that. They helped each student to have pride in his high school, and to want to make it better. Me. i Him. 0. )ry ► Sheri Palling and Brian Veal add a few final touches to the senior class display. The intricate display of three separate scenes included one in which students could pretend to be football players by inserting their heads into crepe paper figures. The hard efforts of the senior class were enough to merit a first place prize. 26 • Homecoming
