Nursery school courtyard doubles as study area for Lorel Simons. New Addition Dedicated In Formal Ceremony Junior girls turned their annual Big Sister-Little Sister Tea into a dinner this year, with each big sister supply- ing a meal for herself and her freshman little sister. A Day at DHS, a short skit featuring hula-hoopers and the Munch a Bunch for Lunch group, introduced the freshman girls to a light side of Deerfield. The fall sports season opened the following Friday afternoon at the first spirit gathering of the year. At Sat- urday's kick-off game, the Warriors were cheered on to a victory over Forest View. Warrior Blitz, the Saturday evening dance decorated with favorite comic strip heroes, was a fitting close to a successful weekend. By early November, the new facilities were near enough completion to be formally dedicated. The cere- mony involved both representatives of the school district and a guest speaker, with music provided by the Deer- field Concert Band and A Cappella Choir. An informal tour through the building followed the ceremony. dfwrr Construction attracts attention as each step brings DHS nearer to completion. FAL 11

Spirits, Balloons, Elephant Encourage Warriors The spirit that abounded during Warrior Weekend was generated at the Friday night celebration. Warrior bal- loons, a flashing electric sign and an original cheer com- bined to win the Spirit .lug for the junior class. After a winding snake dance to the bonfire, the Homecoming court was announced. A coke dance climaxed the evening of celebration, and the crowd dispersed early enough to allow time for finishing touches on the preparations for Saturday. Although the day of the Warrior Homecoming dawned bright and clear, the weather was not a true forecast of things to come. During the preparation for the third an- nual Homecoming parade, the highly inllanuiiable sopho- more float caught a spark and burned to the ground in spite of joined efforts to quench the flames. Losing the varsity Homecoming game to Maine West dampened spirits, but the sophomores did not lose their sense of humor. They drew cheers with a substitute for their lost float, a sign proclaiming We Burned 'em Down! A halftime performance by the marching Warriors and the coronation ofthe Homecoming Queen highlighted the afternoon. In the evening, The Goal Rush brought the Home- coming festivities to a memorable close. The queen car- ried out her reign in a '49ers motif while alumni and students danced to the music of The Reasons Why.
