Year-Dound Activities Enliven Centralites As football practice got under way, and registration week came and went, life was brought back in to our halls and Central High began to breathe once again, pumping hundreds of students and teachers through its passageways each day. Students rushed excitedly from class to class to see their new classmates. Freshmen became acquainted with many new and different people. The most ambi- tious became the ciass leaders and the bounciest girls became cheer- leaders. As everyone began to get back into the swing of things, clubs began to meet, test days began to pop up, and before we knew it, it , was time to elect our Harvest Queen. Seven lucky senior girls were nominated and one was elected to reign over the fall sports, ' During homecoming week, any and everything could be 'found -.-' walking through the halls At the, ' football game everyone was filled with excitement as they sat in the bleachers watching the proud club members marching with their ban-r ners in the parade. Homecoming , week also kicked off the beginning, of ISHOHA, our annual money- maker. Chocolate addicts once again were able to get their daily fix from pushy sales persons at lunchtime and during hurried breaks. People carried with them bags of candy bars in hopes of selling the most candy and par- ticipating in the wild and crazy iSHOHA games. Students who weren't eligible to play in these games could show their abilities and talents another , second annual itTaient Night With Blue and White was a variety show consisting of dancing, sing- ing, and the playing of instruments starring the student body.

I An exciting time, when the student body is brought together through pride, honor, and good times is Homecoming Week. Everyone anticipated waking up on Monday, October 10, and dressing backwards. Tuesday followed with Be Quietllncognito day; however, it turned out to be the noisiest day of the week. The most spirited day of all proved to be Wednesday, Hat, Tie, T-shirt, Sunglasses, and Bandana day. On Thursday, everyone dressed up to honor Queen Ann and her attendants. By Friday at the pep assembly, everyone was excited and ready for the big game against the Lees Summit Tigers. Many hours were spent after school by the senate activities committee working on the effigy which was constructed by Mrs. Hendricks and Mr. Wilkinson. Friday evening students stared, tantalized by the flames licking away at the huge tiger. As the smoldering embers died down, everyone made their way to the bleachers to watch the Homecoming parade. The parade was compiled of at least ten different club banners, with the Latin Club receiving a $50 prize for the best one. The Queen and her court rode around the track in brand new convertible Le Barons provided by Car City. The evening 'continued to be an energetic and spirited one, even though the game was lost, 24-27. After the game, 600 or more people boogied into the main gym to let loose and dance. Former Central Students, Barry Maugh and Kevin Williams acted as disc jockies, playing different records for everyone to ttget down with. This proved to create the perfect end to a one in a million week. 20 Homecoming-
