4257 l'-uf.,--- - ' t ., six minutes llli Ulllblil Till Hlflllllllltll Rush, rush, rush! That's what you see in that panic- filled six minute class change - well, but not nearly all! More goes on in the halls of MacArthur than meets the teacher's eye. As that starting bell rings, the race begins. lt's every person for himself and what happens after they leave class is their problem! As you are uncasually strolling along at a very fast pace, someone behind you hollers hurry up as he shoves you into a crowd. A really physical person in the crowd then slams you against a locker just in time to intercept a set of hot, clammy lips attempting to give somebody a hickey. R-i-n-gl Well, there goes the infamous tardy bell. As you stagger into class, the voice of authority Cbetter known as the teach J fills the room and you try to explain the unfavorable circumstances which you have just encountered. That's not a good enough excuse, says the boss as she tells you that she saw you behind the hall door with your second period girlfriend. You know your teacher's wrong - it had to be your third period girl- friend. lt's rough out there, states Debbie King. Having your clothes torn and your.shoes lost after a brief encounter with a hall intersection does not necessarily suggest that it's rough out there. But some guys do consider class change a playtime because it gives them a chance to release their hostilities - by fighting! Just as your foot steps inside the classroom door, a cold sweat breaks out all over your body -the books! Your locker's being in the 400 wing doesn't mean you can't make it. But the fact that you've been waiting all day to go to the restroom does. Well, it looks like you've done it again! l .iv 3 f A time for laughter in the 700 hall as Mr. George August explains to Mr. Rick Campbell what he has in store ' , 4 Junior Mints, Shirley Sarabia calls out Eg as she tries to sell candy for the speech Q and drama department who raised ' S1 ,000 from candy sales.

a night to remember ., wang' The Oueen! Dina Valdez, officer of two major clubs, won by a majority vote to become the 197778 Homecoming Queen. 'Blix .E On a clear day, you can see forever . . Though it was a night game, the weather cloudy, the spirits at the Homecoming game were as high as those on a clear sums mer day. The 1977 Homecoming theme, On a clear day, was chosen by head senior class sponsor, Ms. Peggy Alle- mand. l really didn't know what theme to use. But one night it just came to me, and with the help of the band and the drill team, it worked out perfectly, commented Ms. Allemand. The entire planning of halftime activities was disrupted early in the year with the condemning of Aldine Stadium. lt was kind of hard to get everything together but it worked out alright, stated Ms. Allemand. The band played the theme song On a Clear Day as flag corps and drill team members formed a stage type forum for the homecoming candidates. Homecoming nominees were presented as the band played softly in the background. Ms. Janet King, co-spon- sor of the senior class, led the performance and intro- duced the nominees. The nominees, Ursula Greenleaf, Dina Valdez, Saprina Toups, Leslie McGee and Lori Skin- ner were followed by the introduction of the 1976 Home- coming Oueen Cindy Rodriguez. The announcement of the new queen, Dina Valdez, brought the crowd to its feet, the only drawback was that since there was no track, Dina could not be presented to the opposing team through a car procession. lt was so exciting, just to be a part of it all was really neat, commented nominee Leslie McGee. I was just glad that the tension and worrying was finally over, added Lori Skinner. lt's an honor l won't forget, stated newly crowned Dina Valdez. Even the loss of the football game didn't dampen the crowd's spirits. The disadvantage of having the game so far away, and the inconvenience of the set up were working against us, but l don't think those who attended minded at all. lt was a lovely evening, added Ms. Allemand. a. rt X 5 I8 homecoming Class favorites!
