C .l.e.b.r.a.t.e No matter what the score J Touchdown — Senators! These words were first heard well into the third quarter of the homecoming game, finally giv- ing soaked fans a reason to cheer. Despite the cold rainy weather, many people filled the stands, bundled in blankets, to watch the Senators take on the Wooster Colts. Unfortunately there were on- ly two touchdowns scored for the blue and white: one in the third quarter and one in the fourth. The game ended with a score of 59-12. Halftime was the peak of ex- citement. The floats were judg- ed with the senior float winning first, sophomores second, ana the juniors taking third. Tayna Neuschwander was crowned homecoming queen. Although the Senators suf- fered a loss, the fun still went on at the homecoming dance held the following Saturday night. Twist and Shout! descnbed the actions of the approximate 950 students who attended the homecoming dance. Students expecting to walk into the usual gym were surprised by the col- orful decorations. I felt the decorations looked like they had a lot of hard work put into them and they made the homecoming dance the best I ' ve ever been to, said Senior Christopher Arteaga. A committee of about 13 students were responsible for the decorations. I was really shocked at how much the people worked together to put up the decora- tions. Everyone had a job that was equally important. I was so surprised that no one goofed off. They wanted to help, said Senior Sara Bierman. Students danced to a mixture of fast and slow songs provided by the Sound. The dance also removed students from their typical weekend. School dances give students something to do, and they keep us out of trouble, said Junior Kelly Ibsen. Huddled in blankets, chilled fans watch anxiously as the Senators struggle to score against the Colts during the homecoming game. Rachel Aldridge shakes it up at the homecoming dance.

F A-L-L the fun just started Fall was certainly an eventful and exciting part of the year. Many festivities occurred such as Halloween, Nevada Day and the Sadie Hawkins dance. Goblins and ghosts, witches and bats, and supernatural heroes were seen at school the day before Halloween vacation. The dressing up was something that everyone could look forward to. Even those who didn ' t participate in this event wished they had because of the creativity many put into their costumes. Halloween night was also a part of the fun. Those who did not leave for an out-of-town trip usually spent the evening with their triends, watching movies, trick or treating, or partying with a whole group of friends. A perfect match, Sophomores Dan Madsen and Teresa DiLoreto get ready to dance al the Sadie Hawkins dance where the music was provided by the Noise Busters from Reno. To add to all of this fall celebration, Nevada Day was celebrated by attending the Nevada Day Parade. The semi- good weather assisted the parade in making the day memorable. The Sadie Hawkins dance also occurred during this period. Tables were turned as girls asked guys to go with them and footed the bilffor the evening, paying for the evening ' s fun. Students who attended dressed in old west garb with everything from levis and plaid shirts to barmaids and Indians. Todd Martin dressed as a hillbilly, the traditional dress for such a dance. Couples often matched their costumes to each other ' s. 18
