Homecoming comes and goes, Battle of the Bands blasts us for an evening, the Red Cross derives life- giving blood from daring upperclass students—all of these are regular occurrances each year and we tend to forget any special moments that may have happened, moments that we live only once but recall as many times as we desire. Recalling exactly what happened in the 1982-83 school year is a challenge. Which year was it that the Homecoming parade did not get rained on? Which year was it that the National Honor Society set precedent and held a Battle of the Bands in the fieldhouse? Which year was it that sixteen Varsity football players did not play the last game because of disciplinary action? Can we remember which year it was that we gave our first or maybe our second pint of blood, that we all went crazy over Ad am Ant, the “double-layered” look, crew neck sweaters, and Friendship Pins? It was 1982-83, the same year that the entire country was terrified over the Tylenol murders and the entire student body was “institutionalized ” with parking stickers for our cars and padlocks for our lockers. These moments were not always the best nor were they always the worst. They were exclusive only to this year. We lived through it all, experiencing those moments, good and bad, which happen only once.

®l)e jWastt of Camelot Ueabeg tfje i£ tubent IBobp pelIbounb As with any event, it began with planning; good ideas, bad ideas, accepted or rejected. The theme was selected: The Magic of Camelot. From there the Student Council, along with the entire school, worked to put together a week of dress up days, a parade, pep rallies, and a dance that would create a mood of being in Camelot. One idea, proposed by senior Donna Har¬ mon, was an Add-A-Link Contest. It had nev¬ er been done but the idea was enthusiastical¬ ly accepted. Each class would purchase links for a paper chain at 5c per link. The class with the most links would receive 25 points towards the Spirit Competition. The showcase outside of the auditorium became the center of attraction at all of the lunch hours as the four chains were displayed and the totals posted. The competition was apparent between the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The Freshman class fell out of the competition early but did continue to buy some links. Some money was actually being collected and held in reserve until the very last day. This tactic worked for the Sophomore class as they purchased over 5000 links and won the Add-A-Link Contest receiving the 25 Spirit Points. Tension and rivalry were stirred up and were apparent every single day. The money that was raised was totally unexpect¬ ed but helped make Homecoming a success. The parade, on Thursday, brought a var¬ ied display of floats with slogans from “La¬ dies of the Knight” by the Y-teens to “Scram- a-Lot” by the Class of ’83. (continued on page 11) This fiery dragon belongs to the Class of ' 85. It is just one example of the hard work and long hours spent working on all of the floats and other things, such as decorations for the dance or a routine for the pep rally. It’s Merlyn himself! Bishop Noll’s very own wizard, Richard Lo¬ pez, casts some spells during Spirit Week and during class. Minute details are just as important as major details.
