Seniors welcome -freshmen with a really good -time The first week of school started off with a spirit week, but it was known as Hello Week. The first day of spirit week was Welcome back day. There was no dress up type day, but the freshmen were gladly welcomed by the seniors. The seniors had the freshmen do such things as air raids (spinning on backs shooting down airplanes), rowing the boat, and singing We love you seniors. On the second day it was Summer day. However, it rained. We had people wearing different kinds of shorts, mini-skirts, and sandles and thongs. There was also a root-beer chugging contest. The junior class took first place with the senior class a split second behind. The sophomores took third with the freshman class taking last with nobody competing. The third day of the week proved to be very interesting with Nerd day. We had different girls wearing very nerdy clothes and their nerd glasses with tape on them. Mark McCrorey decided to dress like a girl wearing a yellow mini-skirt and make-up. Tim Causey and Tammy Breault swapped roles with Tim wearing a dress, make-up, earrings, and a lady's hat. Tammy wore a brown suit and tie with a cowboy hat. The last day of the week was Mourning day. Some people in the school wore black with the cheerleaders wearing black shirts, bloomers, and stockings. This day was for the football game that night with the theme of Kill the Chieftains. This was also the day of the annual tug-o-war, but due to rain it was canceled. There was a very interesting pep assembly at the end of the last day. Senior class president Molly Messerle called down the freshmen who were not cooperative with initiation during the week. They had to wear nylon stockings over their heads and sing We love you seniors. These pages sponsored by The Hair Place Westside Market Hello week 25

Homecoming, a.n exciting event -for all -to remember The excitment and success of homecoming was due to the involvment and spirit of the whole student body. It seemed that everyone was involved in the planning and process of building the floats and making the posters. The spirit and enthusiasm was tremendous throughout the whole week and during homecoming night. The theme for Homecoming week was Watch us Shine . The students tried to build a float to resemble the theme's meaning. All the floats were good but, as tradition goes, the seniors won again with the best-looking float. Homecoming night was perfect in every way possible. Every one looked great in their semi-formal dress, especialy the homecoming court. As every year the classes voted for their princes and princesses. The finalists were voted on by the varsity football and volleyball teams. The senior class elected a total of three couples. The queen and king for the senior class were Molly Messerle and Nathan Page. The other two runner-ups were Denise Frazier and Todd Christoferson and Donell Frazier and Doug Sherwood. The junior class prince and princess were Sheldon Bowen and Lisa Claiborne. The representatives from the sophomore class were Robert Renya and Suzi Freeman. The freshmen were Kurt McCue and Holly Young. Another aspect of Homecoming was spirit week. As usual there were days set up for the student body to make fools out of themselves. All week long people dressed up as movie stars, people from the fifties and other things. It was fun, exciting, and it seemed that everyone enjoyed themselves.
