Week improves dance attendance all spirit week fell on Oct 24-28. It was a busy week for East's studentsg getting dressed up, Hxing hair, pain- ting faces and engag- ing themselves in the activities for the week. Monday was Heavy Metal day, Tuesday was Pajama Day, Wednesday was Space Day, Thursday was Halloween Day, and Fri- day, Blue and White Day. During lunch on Tuesday, spirit Cabinet hosted a three-legged race, and Thursday there was a scheduled Mask con- test, but it was canceled due to lack of in- terest. Many students participated in the Fall Spirit Week, however. I thought Spirit Week was fun, but I liked Space Day the best. That was crazy! stated junior Becky Ackerman. Spirit Cabinet had the job of planning, organizing and setting up all activities dur- ing Spirit Week. They also had to organize the half time events during the Homecom- ing game and then plan the Saturday night Homecoming dance.

Queen coronation featured at game he climax of Fall Homecom- ing was Friday night's game against Northwest. Half time activities includ- ed a performance by East's marching band and the crowning of the Homecoming queen. As the seven mustangs circled the field with queen candidates following last year's king and queen, the pom pon squad, cheerleaders and spirit cabinet members rolled the red carpet to the middle of the field. Then the former king and queen, Mike Goodwyn and Tiffany Spencer, stepped out of the Shriners' mustang onto the red carpet to the middle of the field. They were then followed by this year's queen candidates and their escorts, who lin- ed up in a row beside Goodwyn and Spencer. After the flower and ring bearer joined the procession on the field, the 1983 Homecoming Queen was announced. Kris Spencer was named queen just as her sister had been one year before. Both Kris and Tiffany Spencer greeted each other in tears. The juniors shared in the joy as hours of hard work paid off for their class. Theirs was named the winning entry in the class float competition. The senior float came in se- cond, followed by that of the sophomores. After halftime and all Homecoming ac- tivities for the night were over, the football team went back onto the field to win another game for East High, crushing Nor- thwest 35-7. The Aces' potent offense was led by senior Wes Anderson, who ran for three touchdowns. Top leh: The junior float's theme, Beary the Grizzlies, helped it to win the class float competition.
