“I’ll tumble for you.” During spirit week students throw themselves into the fun at the pep rally games. A Fairytale Victory Once upon a time in the Warrior King¬ dom there was a Father-Fr. Moszur who had many children. They were named after the Kingdom. “The Bishop Noll Warriors.” Now it seemed the warriors were having a feud with the Pioneers. A victory being anticipated on the coming Friday—the Warriors needed a week of preparation and celebrating for the up¬ coming event. The festivities began on Tuesday, September 23. Pinno- chio, Snow White, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Mickey Mouse and even Un¬ derdog were seen roaming thru the halls on “Cartoon and Fairytale” day. Wednesday, was rather “odd”. For “Typical Oddball” or “Nerd” day, it wasn’t unusual to see plaid suit coats, floods, platform shoes, greased hair, and horn-rimmed glasses. Thursday pro¬ vided the chance for many to be just like that person they’ve always wanted to be like. It was “Twin” day. Many chose to dress identical with a friend. A few teachers dressed up as students follow¬ ing the official BNI uniform code. And then there were teachers such as Mr. Golden and Ms. Necastro, who decided to be mirror images for each other. “It was a fair trade,” said English teacher Ms. Necastro. “I agreed to wear a mous¬ tache if he wore earrings and lipstick.” The night of Thursday, September 25, the kingdom prepared for the feud. Ex¬ cited students and teachers filled the football bleachers, ready to compete in the games of the an¬ nual pep rally. Most people couldn’t tell if the pie-eating contes¬ tants had more pie in their stomachs or on their clothes. The ever-favorite tug-of war-war was a failure because the line broke at the first tug. Sophomore Cheryl Kumeiga comments, “I don’t know why we had fun, the seniors kept making fun of us. The finale was the bonfire. “I was • ♦ • 1986 .V .

Accepting her honor, Monica Garza—a court member, smiling at the crowd and her boyfriend gladly received her crown from Candy Cole. Parading in the rain, the court members slowly make their way around the football field on homecoming. 12 Homecoming A Fairytale (cont.) “Tall for once!” exclaimed 5’1” ju¬ nior Veronica Gonzalez, who sat on her friend’s shoulders in order to see the happenings at the fire. “It gave us all a feelings of togetherness and school spirit. It was great!” Finally September 22, was the day designated to meet the rivals, the en¬ tire kingdom dressed in its official col¬ ors—blue and gold. In order to show the Warriors that everyone was be¬ hind them, a pep rally was held. As buckets of rain poured outside, the Warriors gathered inside the field- house. With speeches, skits, and a lot of help from the colorguard and cheerleaders, hopes were held high that the game would still be on so that the Warriors might be victorious that evening. Many old subjects of the kingdom returned to watch the battle between the Warriors and the Pioneers. As eected, the Warriors might be victori¬ ous with a score of 33-33. “Even though we won by a lot of points, the best part was winning in front of our family, friends, and the alumni,” said senior Paul Etter. “The game was fun for everyone because for the first time this season, everyone on varsity got to play,” added senior Pete Wilkins. Another highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen and Mr. Touchdown. For the first time in years not one, but two Mr. Touchdowns, Paul Etter and Bill Smith, were crowned with laurels. The royal court consisted of Monica Garza, Tracy Horvat, Lisa Juscik, Su¬ san Lentvorsky, and Danielle Stofko. As each girl waited in anticipation for those words which would make her fairytale come true, it was announced: “And the 1986 Homecoming Queen is ... Tracy Horvat.” “When I heard my name all I saw was flashing lights. Then the hugs and tears came right away. Those meant the most because I realized the Homecoming Queen was me; Tracy Horvat.” After all the activities that took place in the Warrior Kingdom, the grandest festivity of all was the Royal Ball. The cafeteria was where the gala was to be held. At the stroke of 7:00, the occasion began. It was the first year that Father ordered a D.J. for his people. The decorations were com¬ mented upon with favorable results. “It was fun helping set up for the dance. The decorations themselves were a ‘dream’,” said senior Maggie Martinez. As the clock approached 10:30, the Warriors danced their last dance with their dreams come true. “The success of the Homecoming Dance was a true sign of an excellent senior class,” said senior Susan Lent¬ vorsky. Thus at the stroke of 10:30, the Warriors want out on the town for dinner and fun.
