Foreign clubs, Band, Drill Team, the ASB ana' the Choirs carry out the tradition o OKTOBERFEST, 1 985 As I approached the school's cafeteria, sounds of very loud laughter and music could be heard throughout the corridor. I had no idea what to expect from this year's Oktoberfest. I was standing there and observing the scene, when a friend, Mark, came up to me. I-Ii Karen, how are you? Come over here with me. I followed him over to the corner where the Capital Singers had their booth. Several guys were sticking their heads through a hole in a cardboard box only to be bombarded by very wet sponges thrown at them. Occasionally. one of the Drill Tearn's cakes would be substituted for for ri sponge. I laughed to myself and concluded that this was going to be one very fun-filled evening. Like the Capital Singers, several clubs participated in the fun activities of Oktoberfest with their games and food stands. Each foreign language club had food representing their specific country's culuture. The German Club had their traditional German Sausagesg Spanish Club had Nachosg and the French Club had crepes. But it wasn't all food, each language also had an entertaining game for spectators to play, from the French Clubs Palm Reading, to Spanish Clubs Bee Bee Shoot, The German Club even had a Ping-Pong toss. The Drill Team, Band and the ASB also contributed to this years Oktoberfest. The Drill Team had a Cake Walk, the Band sold Eagle Pride sweatshirts. and the ASB sold rootheer left over from the days I-Iomecorning activity. So as the laughter proceeded and the fun went on, I smiled. it was Oktoberfest, 1985. Capital Sytle. fQ?.3Qs - i if S55 r W I H ,Nj C ,JC .1 rl ' i'if 7F c fx. f . X 4 ,g . 4: ., , --..

ps Shivering students decked the halls of Capital during the Christmas season. The annual hall decorating contest helped pro- mote the holiday spirit. The theme of the Sophomore class' hall was Christmas Around the World. The Seniors intended theme was Christmas in Cambodia, hut they were not allowed to use their idea. The winner of the hall contest was the junior class with their theme of Christ- mas in Boise . s I5liCfOIiA'I'llYKi 'I'lllI SIZNIOIK llAl,I,.

Some students felt as ifChristmas came too early this year. This may have been because there were only three weeks be- tween Christmas and Thanksgiving. As students were out shopping and making their lists for Santa. the Capital choirs were husy preparing for the Christmas Assem- Bozse. hly. This year the assembly was, as always, terrific. The choirs' hours of preparation paid off in their performances. Dana Hardys silent solo stunned the audi- ence, while Shannon Walker, Matt Shona, Kevin Torrey, and Bryan Ropp made a great quartet singing The Book of Love . The assembly ended with a visit from St. Nick reading his list of wishes. TIIE GOLDEN GIRLS GIVE A stunning perforf mance during a Christmas basketball gklfllt. fr f 7 g' i
