A New Kind of HOMECOMING 50 Homecoming Activities Teachers’ work day does not effect school spirit. Homecoming this year was quite different from past years. This year Burns High students were out of school because of a teachers work day. “Gosh, I can’t believe we’re out of school on our homecoming!’’ re- marked senior Renee Walker. Junior Chris Edwards added, “‘It just doesn’t seem right.”

This seems like a story book wonderland, but it took more than the wave of a wand to create. The junior council had to start from scratch. First the furniture had to be moved out. Next came the mopping. YUCK! Then the real work began. Can- dy Ballard, Lynne Brackett and Alisa Newton started hanging streamers, placing aluminum foil stars just per- fect, and tried to make a plain piece of blue cloth look like a curtain. Randy McKee, even rigged us a real stop light to add the finishing touches to the lunchroom. ‘Gary Self, Scott Edwards and Ma- rion Crow cut down limbs from real pines. Our bus lobby was transformed into the best make-shift forest possible. Al Floyd and Jan Pruett hung netting and angel hair in the hallway to give the tunnel effect. The junior prom was not a story book wonderland to the council mem- bers. It was approximately 14 hours of hard work and a lot of sweat.

A slight change was in store for the annual homecoming activities. Since there was no school on Friday, there was no outdoor pep rally, which left no time for a mini-parade. Therefore, nobody needed to work extra hard to prepare first period mini-floats. Most of the extra time went to get club floats ee ‘ ready for the parade. The FBLA and VICA, along with the sophomore and junior councils entered a float. FBLA took first place, with VICA placing second and the junior council, third. When asked why more clubs didn’t have floats, the answers were, ‘‘We just didn’t have enough time and student i. a es ° . Seed oa a - Pos Cae ig participation.”’ Following the parade a bonfire was held at the school. This was a time for students to get together and have fun. Hotdogs and drinks were served by BHS cheerleaders. Adding to the excitement, the Waco Ruritan Club donated a dunking Page 50: TOP LEFT — Cold students gather around the bonfire while waiting for the acti- vities to begin.
