Welcome to DC’s Magic Kingdom nd welcome to the wonderful world of Disney! Well, actual- ly, welcome to Divine Child and its Magic Kingdom! “DC’s Magic Kingdom” was the 1987 Homecoming theme. No, it didn’t appear magically out of thin air, but took weeks and weeks of preparation on the part of the Student Council. Weeks before the festivities even began, the senior boys were contemplating who they wanted to be on the Home- coming Court. Each senior girl looked forward to being on the court, but unfortunate- ly their can only be seven. The members of this year’s lucky court were: Julie Currier, Marla Decina, Danielle Gee, Beth Jary, Julie Majeske, Debbie Oliverio, and Mi- chelle Whalen. These lucky seven waited anxiously for Homecoming Day, when the Queen was to be announced. The theme of DC’s Magic Kingdom revloved around Disney and all its wonderful characters. Monday of Spirit Week was titled Frontier Day. To gain Spirit points for their class, students dressed as cowboys, indians, or fron- tier pioneers. Also, taco’s and root beer were sold at lunch, while Student Council mem- bers sold “chewin’ tobacco” (shredded bubble gum) and bags of gold coins. T uesday was Disney Char- acter Day. The halls were filled with Donald Ducks, Mickey Mouses, Goofys, Al- ices in Wonderland, Snow White and her seven (well maybe more) dwarfs. To go along with the dressing up. Mouse hats were sold at the Falcon’s Nest and Disney popsicles were sold at lunch. Wednesday was Mouseke- teer Day. The requirement was to wear any article of clothing that had Mickey or Minnie Mouse on it. Once again Mouse ears and popsi- cles were sold, and an added attraction was Disney suckers, continued... Congratulations to the Class of 91. They earned the most spirit points during Spirit Week. Freshman Amy Bimberg accepted the trophy for her class at halftime. Photo by: Craines 6 Spirit Week

 tie 0Ttus... The Makings of a Wonderful Year Picture this...Divine Child High School and everything it is made up of. This division of the Clarion is designed to show you how the stu- dent body fits into the Big Picture that is DC. Picture This... Everyday from 8 to 2:30 the halls of DC are filled with the faces of the student body. It’s not unusual to see an occasional freshman, teacher or senior scurrying down the hall with an arm-load of books. With the new three minute class exchange, students are constantly moving from Algebra to Biology to Religion classes. Day after day, students move from class to class For the first time in two years, the Homecoming parade actually made it to the pavement. Senior Captain Tina Gruchala marched her last parade and performed her last half-time show on that day. Photo by: K. Salmonson without really thinking about where they are going. This endless monotony, however, is broken by the extracurricular activities planned by and for the student body. The first big event of the year is Homecoming. This year's theme, DC's Magic Kingdom, was a take off of The Wonderful World of Disney”, with each celebrated theme relating to a Disney charac- ter. And as usual. Homecoming was a big success with the student body. Shortly after this, our fall play, Dracula, really brought the house down (and bats, tool). It's haunting success was not unusual of DC drama. Starting off the new year right, both the Sadies Hawkins and the Sweetheart dances were major successes, with a great turnout from the student body. In March, the lovely sounds of music were heard as the spring musical The Sound of Music” hit the stage. And, after much waiting, the Junior- Senior Prom was held at the Fair- lane Club on May IS, with the theme of The Best of Times . And final- ly, on June 5, the Seniors graduated (on the latest graduation date so fart). Despite the delay, it was a happy day! As you can see. each and every one of these events falls into the Big Picture that is Divine Child. • The happy and sad times all come together, as we invite you to Pic- ture This...0 by: T.

He’s the eptimy of Spirit Week-Fred- die Falcon. Freddie was animated this year by senior Jeff Flannery as it is a tradition for a “mystery” senior to play Freddie each year. Painting on just some of the magical faces in DCs Magic Kingdom is sen- ior Betsy Camardo. Betsy’s cartoon- ist ability was a great addition to both the gym decorations and the senior car for the parade which she helped decorate. Who wouldn't be proud to have royalty in the family?
