 Right? It's no hassle... As Kendra Woelfel and Katy Fitzgerald venture back into the 60 s on Hippie Day. they give us that I can't believe our parents actually wore these clothes look, photo by Trena Adair Is spirit week an event everyone looks forward to, or is it considered somewhat of a hassle? How could it be a hassle? Well, let's see it from the class sponsors' viewpoint. Float materials have to be ordered three weeks in advance and that automatically assumes the sponsor already has a float idea. Senior class sponsor, Mr. Smith, flatly stated, 1 absolutely hate it. And he's been hating it for fifteen years. Mr. Hocott would only comment, I don't even want to discuss it. Mrs. Phelps seemed to have accepted her duty as she said, Well, it's okay; it just gets tiring after twenty-one years. The faculty aren't the only people who think homecoming can be a hassle. Stu- dent Council member, Deedra Hardin, said, It's hard coming up with new ideas for spirit week. What about the students? Do they feel the same way? Sherry Wann said, Personally, I look forward to it. Even if I don't dress up, I get a kick out of watching people make fools of themselves. These fools — or spirit crazed stu- dents — entertained and amused the stu- dent body and faculty. Tuesday had a different twist in spirit week. A few teachers decided since stu- dents were to dress up as teachers, they would dress up as students. Students weren't the only people who could be crazy! Wednesday, Wild Hair Day, seemed to change everyone's personality for day. Sandra Angel said, I spent three hours and a can of hairspray so my hair would stick out. How's that for spirit? Thursday, Hippie Day, featured stu- dents decked out in bell-bottoms, head- bands, and peace signs. Lawrence Capes said, I think home- coming is great! It gives me a chance to express my school spirit in the pep rally and in the big game Friday. Looking at homecoming week from both the teacher and the student views, it seemed that even though it was a hassle for some, it gave the students a chance to be crazy for one week and get away with it! by Tresa Adair

L Kissing Your SISTER 14 to 14 no time remain- ing. Tying any game is bad, but on homecoming — what a drag! It's just like kissing your sister, several fans remarked as they trudged out of Bearcat stadium. Vilonia shocked both team and fans by scoring first. Late in the second quarter they scored again lengthening their lead to 14 points. With 26 seconds left in the half the Cats fi- nally put together a scor- ing drive to go into the half 14 to 8. The Cats came back looking strong holding Vi- lonia to seven yards. How- ever, the offense didn't get rolling until 5:28 left in the fourth quarter when Barry Catlett scored on a four yard run. The extra point conversion was stopped short; then a last second field goal attempt failed. The game ended with the first homecoming tie in 25 years. The night was not with- out other hitches. Prior to the game, the queen and her court exhibited other worries. Queen Martha VanAllen didn't know un- til minutes before the cere- mony that she had to find her own cape. A few frantic phone calls produced one just in the knick of time. Martha said, I couldn't believe no one told me. 1 thought someone just showed up with it. Martha wasn't the only one in a frenzy. The maids worried about being es- corted across the field by anxious football players who might leave cleat marks on the hems of their dresses. Lori Day said, I was so afraid one of the guys was going to step on my dress; then I would fall flat on my face. Homecoming was a sen- timental time for some this year. This was Principal Pete Prewett's twentieth and final year to crown the queen in the homecoming coronation. This event was marked by his grand- daughter, Robin Prewett, serving as an attendant. Another memorable event was attendant Mi- chael Mueller's refusal to carry the queen's bouquet. When the bouquet was held out for him, he stuck his hands behind his back and rejected the flowers. This really made no differ- ence; the coronation pro- ceeded. By Lisa Lippard Senior high cheerleaders.
