Being a student brings about many exciting experiences and opportuni- ties. It is a time that will not be forgotten. So many things are shared through- out a student ' s high school life: the laughter and tears, the hopes and dreams that come true, the renewing of old friendships, and the making of new- ones. A student ' s life includes much more than attending classes. There are the four annual dances: Homecoming, 12B, Spinster Spree, and Junior-Senior Prom. Many clubs and organizations are available to join, and these help the student get involved in his favorite interest. Most of all, being a student is being oneself. Being recognized for the things one does and the one has grown up to be is a healthy experience for all students. One can shout as loud as he pleases, laugh, cheer, and enjoy oneself forever, because he is a student, an individual. Junior Mike Spencer debates on whether to swallow another helpless goldfish.

' Grand Illusion ' Homecoming is only one of the many activities that make school life more exciting. Grand Illusion was chosen as the theme of the 78-79 Homecom- ing festivities, which included a football victory, assembly, and finally a dance. Various groups took part in the activities of the assembly. Those who participated included Color Guard, Steppers, Majorettes, Stu- dent Government, Pep Club, Silent Vibrations, and Cheerleaders. All assemblies are full of fun and special moments, but this one will long be remembered, especially for Janice Beghtol, who was crowned 78-79 Homecoming Queen by the 77-78 queen, Marilee Fors. Janice was escorted by Scott Winterbottom. Her court included senior attendant Judy Forest, escorted by Jerry Strauss; senior attendant Jayne Phillips, escorted by Ron Anderson; senior attendant Julie Richeson, escorted by Bob Sample; junior attendant Cindy Kuhns, escorted by Steve Nelson; and sophomore attendant Pam Eyerly, escorted by Rick Schultz. Many students showed their tal- ents as they sang tribute songs to the queens, both old and new. Senior LuAnn Naber sang Every- thing as a tribute to the new 78- 79 queen, while senior Jenny McDowell sang the theme song to last year ' s Homecoming, Only the Beginning, which was sung dur- ing the 77-78 queen ' s last walk. Senior Greg Baker also joined in singing the theme song, Grand Illusion, which was only one of the many highlights of the assembly.
