Cream pie greets kisser Splat! Hey, that doesn't taste too bad! This was the reaction from the blindfolded football players who, instead of the kiss they expected, got whipped cream pies in their faces. This was just one of the wild and crazy things that happened during the annual Spirit Week, September 29 - October 3. Monday the school was faced with the most outrageous socks and ties imaginable. Tuesday was hats and shades day. Students wore every- thing from wigs to hog hats. There were also old fashioned glasses, along with the more attractive and up- to-date styles. On Wednesday, the Pep Club organized a find your partner day. Members of each class picked a card which fit perfectly with someone else's card. Friday was school colors' day, and most students wore red and gold. After school, the football players, student body and faculty participated in a pep rally given by the cheerleaders and the band. During this time the candidates for king and queen were introduced and skits were performed by the cheer- leaders, as the band played. The game was played with much emotion and Cavs took advantage of the perfect football weather to hand the Omaha Paul VI Hawks a decisive 27-6 loss. Later at the dance, with enthu- siasm high, the results of the homecoming election were an- nounced. Larry Chapek and Bev Dostal were crowned as the 1980 royalty. These four wild and crazy girls fit in with the decor of the hat and shades day. FROM LEFT: Gail Maly, Mary Murren, Laurie Martin and Lori Pospisil. Homecoming 21

Play requires time; effort Two months of rehearsal, sighed Jeff Maly as he recalled the time and effort put into the fall play Once Upon a Mattress, The play fell right into the heart of state boys' football playoffs and the end of the girls' volleyball season. As a result several cast members were unable to spend much time at home or on studies. The actors who participated in athletics had to come to school, go to practice, and then go to play rehearsal. I've been in two previous plays, neither of which were quite as challenging or as rewarding, stated George Ludvik, as he thought back on his play experiences. The fact that it was a musical also gave added discomfort to the directors. What makes a major musical so difficult is that it combines three different aspects into finished product. Those aspects are music, technical theater, and real life drama, stated Mr. Bill Reece, pit band director. Perhaps the most difficult task was the constant changing of the often elaborate medievel scenery. It was extremely difficult to work with such a large number of backdrops and props, but due to the coopera- tion of the never tiring crew everything went over well! ex- claimed Bob Hedges, light chairman.
