l A successful rally and hall decorations create a FULFILLED FA TASIES g gb campus very very near Cp spirited erupted one anfwes Homecoming mom with- out a jeer. Dreams and Fantasies was the chosen theme that brought everyone together. I liked the togethemess.You felt more like a school instead of a class, said Jaime Greene of the attitude Homecoming created. The Class of '87 seized the spirit stick as well as first place in the hall decoration competition. The unity was great! It was a senior tradition to win and so we came together to fulfill it, said Chuck Ulbricht. The Senior Class dominated the Homecoming events as the call to win drew a class known for its diversity into a unified group. Friday culminated the excitement that had been building since Come As You Are Day which was the first of five dress up days. The best spirit day was Come As You Are Day because it was really different from normal days, said Aaron Once upon a time in a M ' ' Peddy. Participation in the spirit days was outstanding due to the pract- icality of the required apparel. Flannel Day, Rugby Day, or Polo Day, and Hat and Glasses Day all inspired school wide participa- tion. As usual on Friday each class dressed to suit individual themes. Halls astonished many, especially the Freshman Hall which exemplified ChiIdren's Holi- days. The freshmen deserved a better place than was received. The freshmen should have gotten third place instead of the sophomores, said junior Leigh Ann Martello. The rally was definitely the most exciting aspect of the week. The gym was overflowing with stu- dents, faculty, alumni, and par- ents.In addition to the pep arts all squad performance, two skits were provided as entertainment. The Rally Committee performed a skit portraying four old men reminiscing their 1986 Home- coming dates. Another form of enter- tainment was provided by a group of seniors who wanted to make a contribution to their last Home- coming rally. They put on a Price Is Right for the student body with Kris King serving as the grand prize. The most innovative exhibition of talent came from Mr Eaton, Mrs Anderson, Mr. Keeler, Ms. Scheible, and Ms. Castoii. These spirited faculty members rendered their own version of the compet- ition yell. The traditional competition yell was performed with the freshman adding a few extra choruses.The royalty was also announced with the exception of the Senior King and Queen who were announced at the football game. Aside from all the excitement students were simply pleased with their class' show of spirit. Being a senior made this rally really special and winning was like a start for the whole year, said Betsy Callen. l 1 T he sky is falling!

'-.I The day that brought a new beginning for some and a new twist on an old way of life for others had come. ' For those who could be called freshmen, September 2 was a day looked upon with anxious anti- cipation. Mind-generated pictures of high school were in some cases reaffirmed by first day events, while in others they were disproved. I walked into my first class and saw a guy with a full beard. Then I knew I was in high school, said freshman Jean Spangenberg. I felt small. I was really scared and I felt out of place, said Jill Ratner. Freshmen were filled with feelings of fright and anxiety and upper- classmen often took advantage of this. I made the mistake of asking a sophomore where my class was, said John Taylor, freshman. For those veterans of high school life, the first day of school was appealing for various reasons. I was glad to be back so I could see all the people I missed during the summer, said senior Per Nielsen. I was glad that I could call freshmen, 'freshmen,' and not worry about being picked on, said Joey Dobrowalski, sophomore. An air of confidence could be sensed from the seniors on the first day of their final year. They were now at the top of the heap. It hasn't hit me yet that I'm a senior! I can do whatever I want now! I never thought I'd get here, said Julian Martinez. Now that I'm a senior, everyone is a freshman, said Felicia Heard jok- ingly. Classroom time consisted of what most considered to be insignificant events. Students often heard the same welcome speech six times during the day. I got tired of hearing classroom procedures and about the new attendance policy over and over. I also hated filling out those dumb three by five cards, said Brad Martin. First Day of School
