 All the pictures that aren’t too blurry.” BILLY ROCKS IN LISA'S LOCKER STUDENTS DANCE NIGHT AWAY AT JR. SR. PROM Think flowers. Think music. Think dancing and romance. Add a little Double Axel and beautiful decora- tions along with tempting refreshments. Think rustling taffeta and bow ties, and what do you get? The 1985 Junior-Senior Prom!! The theme song Straight From the Heart” echoed throughout the hall and into the memories of the lighthearted prom goers as they danced the night away. PEACE PIPE BURIED AT OLYMPIC GAMES On the last day of school, before Christmas Vacation a declaration of war” was summoned at C.H.S. It was, of course, the day of the an- nual and interscholastically renowned Olympic Games. This year’s Olympics was marked by general mayhem and crudeness. Murray Seymour, the emcee, continually delivered witless puns and tedious jokes throughout the event. The students and faculty were fortunately spared from hearing most of these due to the poor sound system. After many arguments, petitions and changes, the Student Council (Machiavelli’s Youth) decided on the theme of the Olympics: races. The red Senior Indians, the yellow Junior Chinamen, the blue Sophomore Atlantians and the green Freshmen Martians battled for supremacy. Unfortunately, no one really knows who won the Games. It was between the Seniors and the Sophomores, and at the end of the afternoon the scoreboard showed the Indians ahead by one point. However, days later, after some organization and recalculations, it was said the Atlantians had resurfaced from the depths of defeat to win. Now the entire matter is forgotten and hilarity of the Olympics lives on at C.H.S. Every year the Olympics are meant to provide relaxing fun for the students as they compete in athletic” events. The crude cheers, which included using the words Freshmen,” green,” and snot” in the same sentence, were taken in good fun by all. Yet, some things did get out of hand. Right, Sophomores? The poor Atlantians were forced to witness the sacrifice of a goldfish down a throat (FIE ON YOU, LEE REXFORD! FIE!), were catapulted with tuna cans and were sprayed with a fair amount of water. Many other thrilling highlights included Pete Merrill who delighted the crowd with his breakdancing antics. The sacrifice” of a Chinaman, an Atlantian and a Martian by the Senior cheerleaders was also a popular happening. And no one should forget the traditional Senior Parade, led by Chief Tina Law, to the sounds of Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A.” 17
