ANTI-WINTER WEEK Nerd day for Sophomore Diane Medeiros is Ihe perfect excuse lo be late for class. Several students invaded the local Salvation Army or their parents ' closets to prepare for the dress-up day. Millie Sprague, Jeff Lerud, and Micheline Tobev, who represent Ms. Caldwell ' s first period Eriglish class, show off their entry in the door- decorating contest that ended Anti- Winter Week. The entry, which came complete with Beach Boys tunes, a palm tree, and a lighted sun, took the first place prize in the contest — a pizza party. A bomb threat, which turned out to be a false alarm, left Heidi Hammack, Kerstine Johnson, Shelly Gagnier, and Diane Vo in the cold for about 15 minutes. The evacuation was especially uncomfortable because many students who were participating in the Anti- Winter WeeK festivities were forced to stand in 20 degree weather wearing no more than shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and thongs. 24

Warm Winter Wishes As Anti-Winter Week drew to a close, both school spirit and the temperature rose. Volunteer effort was put into premoting the dress-up days, which in- cluded Cowboy Day, Bahamas Day, Tiny Tots Day, Nerd Day, and the tradi- tional Blue and White Day. It was evident by the rowdy crowd at Friday ' s spirit assembly that all efforts paid off. Students were ready to support their basketball teams through their im- portant homecoming games against the challenging Hug Hawks on Friday evening. At half time of the varsity game, with the Senators leading, the King and Queen candidates were escorted onto the gym floor. Everyone was curious who tne Homecoming King and Queen would be. Heather Crossley, who was chosen as Homecoming Queen, said, I was so ex- cited to see who would win. I had no clue it would be me though! Homecoming King, Tony Smiderle, had his mind on an entirely different subject, however. Before they called my name, I couldn ' t help thinking about the little red blinking light on the home video camera that was filming our every move all evening long. But after I realized what had happened, I was happy! Candidates Wendy Brown, Tony Smiderle, Heather Crossley. Tim Davies, Michele Brown, )oel Willhalm, Michelle Tierney, Conan Mathson, Aeryn Don- nelly, and Scott Callister wait anxiously for the announcement of the 1987 Winter Homecoming King and Queen.

Winter Homecoming Queen, recalls, When they announced my name, I stood there for what seemed like ten minutes because I wasn ' t sure it was really my name! 25
