WmmMf Loud music, dancing, cheering, yelling, and laughter were some of the many exciting things found during homecoming week. That was the best school spirit 1 have seen in a long time, said Senior Katie Housel. During lunchtime various ac- tivities went on throughout the week including tricycle races, shaving cream fights, and three- legged races. Another important part of homecoming week was the as- sembly. During the assembly it was a touching moment when Mrs. Frank and her children shared with the student body a letter from the state. The letter spoke of what a re- markable man, teacher, and cross-country coach Jim Frank was. Mrs. Frank told the student body how much Coach Frank loved students. She also stated that he had the ability to see the potential and good aspects of ev- ery individual student. He loved to teach young students of high school age and help them to grow and progress. Unlike the usual homecoming assemblies, there was no class competition; however, the rap done by Steve Thompson, John Kinsey, and Travis Hopper was an added attraction that the stu- dent body really seemed to enjoy. I thought that the rap was really cool. It really seemed to get ev- eryone psyched! said Senior Kristy Dickinson. Much excitement and spirit was shown at the big game. Many students brought canned confetti and noise makers to show their enthusiasm. All the excitement was topped off by a win by the Carson Sen- ators over the South Tahoe Vi- kings, with the final score being 34-22. What is the thing you en- joyed most about Home- coming week? 1 thought the floats were probably the best thing. They were pretty cool. It was interesting to see what everyone ' s looked like. — Jeffrey Bean, 10 I enjoyed getting out of bed and coming as 1 was for grub day, and also not dressing up on some days and looking at the stupid people who did. — Brian Percival, 11 Toilet paper ing the cars through the parking lot during lunch time. — Tammi Dell ' Ergo Probably the music at lunch, because it gave us something to listen to. Also, I liked the activities because they gave us something to do. — Tim Pershing, 10 Date Navarro shows a new dance step to Tiffany Green wht) grins in return at the Hi mecoming dance.

MJI Halls became alive as students arrived at school during the last week in August, bemoaning the fact that summer was over. Senior Alejandro Rojas said, It ' s too early to come back to school. I need at least two more months so I can work full time and make more money. Work seemed to be a very im- portant part in a student ' s life. After all without maintaining their jobs, they could not have afforded to buy new clothes or to pay for their cars. Even though work was an im- portant part of the summer, that was not the only activity that got students ' attention. Senior Lisa Pecenka said, I wish it was longer. The best par- ties are in the summer, and it ' s warm. You also can hang out at the beach. Not all students opposed the fact that they had to come back to school. Some students even seemed to like coming back to school to talk to their friends and to get out of the house. Junior Christine Athenour def- initely believed the summer had been long enough. Are you kidding? I could not wait to come back. I was so bored. I don ' t have a car, and the only time I get out of my house is when someone comes to get me, she said. So either students danced or dragged themselves to their lock- ers and to their classes, glad to have finally come back to school to talk with out-of-touch friends, or tried to avoid the fact that they were actually in school. Either way most students walked around the school in a complete daze, either in happi- ness and excitement, or in dis- appointment and misery. Senior Tracey Grose, class officer, said, Coming back isn ' t so bad. I guess I could handle it. So whether or not students wanted to come to school, they arrived one by one in cars, by buses, and on foot, ready to face the new year, not knowing what the year had in store for them. The one sure thing was that this year would be like no other. By Lissa Rojas What was the most difficult part of coming back to school. ' Not being able to go to Sand Harbor every Monday morning. — Susan Gregg, 12 I think the most difficult part about coming back is fac- ing all these Nevada-loving hicks. — John Decker, 12 Having to get up so early is the most difficult part of it. — Scott Bibee, 12 Actually, it ' s not hard com- ing back to school because you ' re all excited when you have been out of school all summer long. — Joe AUec, 12 Not being able to go out with your friends any time you want. Now you have to worry about curfews, homework and waking up on time for school, — Theresa Gasper, 1 1 Renee Howare along with friend Rene Martinez casually spend their lunch hour in the Avenue.
