Yes, We Have 7bU Bananas h my God!” she laughed, “What y are you supposed to be?” The £ £ green thing bounced toward her ■ ■ with great difficulty, but not be- fore losing the star off the top of her head. “A Christmas tree, of course, Jennifer! Can’t you tell? I took a green sheet, threw it over my hoop skirt from prom, stapled on some garland and ornaments and topped it off with my very own popsicle stick star!” Sue smiled happily after describing her costume for the spirit day. “At least I put some effort into it! Just what is your favorite holiday supposed to be?” “I’m Labor Day, dummy! My mom almost killed me when she found out I was sticking a pillow under my blouse and coming as it.” Jennifer stopped a moment and then asked, “Have you seen Tony’s costume? God, I hope he asks me to Homecoming!” “Stop whining, Jennifer. He’ll ask you. He’d bet¬ ter, the dance is only four days away! I have to go. It will take me FOR-EVER to walk down those stairs in this stupid hoop skirt! What I won’t do to show I have school spirit! Maybe I’ll just lay down and roll to the main staircase.” Sue chuckled at her own comment. “I’ll talk to you at lunch Jennifer.” Right before Sue squeezed herself between the doors she heard Jennifer Scream, “Hey Sue! Your popsicle stick star fell off!” A little Holiday cheer. Junior James Moricz uses some creativity with a bow, tinsel and a strand of garland to dress up as a Christmas tree for the Homecoming spirit day. Favorite Holiday held on Wednesday, October 5. A looney tune? Grading a few religion papers in the Campus Ministry office, Fr. John Ambre shows that he’s not afraid to ham it up and clown around (the wig is borrowed). 6 Student Life Divider

Homecoming 83: Romance Under the Big Top BNI Student Body Shows True SPIRIT The climax of Homecoming Spirit Week was finally at hand. Who would believe that one day could hold so much excite¬ ment — And the fun had just BEGUN! With all the activities in the Pep Rally, the Yell Con¬ test was one of the highlights with the seniors walking away as victors. The Cheerleaders can do more than cheer, and proved this by their impressive routine to the smash hit “1999” by Prince. The Poms’ last performance was a spectacular routine to “One Thing Leads to Another” by the Fixx. After that, two football players, Junior Dan Skiba and Senior Dave Mullaney attempt¬ ed to win the Spirit Award for their class by singing the school song. Dave Mullaney succeeded. That night the band per¬ formed to “West Side Story” — a show that brought rave reviews to the B.N.I. community. The cheerleaders performed their dazzling dance one more time while the fans cheered them on. Boy, what a night! People jumping and screaming every¬ where, excitement filling the night’s air. The pep rally at B.N.I. was a big success! And although things may have looked doubtful, the Homecoming Dance was cele¬ brated as scheduled on October 8, 1983. Weeks of preparation didn’t end until the final hours before the dance. Students spent their morning adding the final touches to the decorations. It became a mad rush to hang streamers from the ceiling, fin¬ ish the name favors which were hardly started, and setting up tables. When the guests arrived the cafeteria was actually trans¬ formed to the Greatest Show on Earth. The walls were covered with murals which depicted the circus theme. Some favorites were sideshow freaks; ranging from the tallest man to the world’s smallest eskimo, caged lions and apes, and even a souve¬ nir vendor. One mural of a clown holding balloons became a fa¬ vorite spot for couples to take pictures of their friends. To add to the circus theme, colorful he¬ lium-filled balloons were tied to the centerpieces, scattered around the cafeteria and distrib¬ uted by the coat check to those who wanted them. Although there was a lack of seating, couples didn’t mind— they simply DANCED the night away to music from the band Abacus. Photographers were set up in the main lobby where cou¬ ples could have their pictures taken in front of a background which matched the circus theme. This year, time tickets for pictures were distributed so confusion was avoided and ex¬ cessive time wasn’t spent stand¬ ing in line. Volunteers worked serving the refreshments of pop¬ corn and pop, and also as coat checks to help the evening run smoother. As the evening continued, the court was reintroduced with Craig Pavlina being crowned Mr. Touchdown. Taking beta? It could be possible. Before the Homecoming Queen coronation, football manager Michelle Wrobel tells Mark Vrably who she thinks is the 1983 Queen. Smiling happily, Senior Carla Reato and her date Gary Cvitkovich take a breather from dancing and walk around the cafeteria to look at the murals and catch a breath of fresh air. 8 Homecoming
