Horror movies and love stories provided just the thing for getting close.

As usual cheerleaders Sat shivering in the dunk- ing machine while cold- hearted souls kept those softballs flying. Things really got rolling when the bang-up car made its way off the trailer (with the help of a few rest- less young men), and flipped a few times. Many made their way over to the fire where they ate their hotdogs and drinks, and later yelled cheers, chants, and sang the school song. Any teacher who de- cided to try to make Friday anormal day, was soon dis- couraged from doing so. All day was spent waiting for the afternoon pep rally and parade. Seniors won the spirit stick, not for en- thusiasm, but because of money.
