Homecoming: “moved up” to September Poor test results and neglect- ed homework marked homecoming week for many stu- dents, who worked many hours creating floats that represented their class on homecoming night. The week of September 15-19 was characterized by spirit week activities that included dress-up day on Tuesday, backwards day on Wednesday, twin day on Thurs- day, and green and white day and hat day on Friday. The Battle of the Classes gener- ated its share of enthusiasm also. After competing in several zany contests like banana eating, tug-o- war, and bubble gum stuffing, the winning Seniors clinched their victory by winning the class cheer contest. Moving Up in the 80's was the theme of the annual parade. The Senior class float, featuring a jum- bo six pack of 7-up, won first place in the float competition. Susan Zeisloft was crowned Homecoming Queen in a halftime ceremony at Friday night's annual game. Susan was escorted by sen- ior, Brian Carpenter. Other senior candidates were Jenny Haines, Penny Tule, and Mari Zenk. The rest of Susan's court consisted of junior Toni Wilges, sophomore Vicki Imhoff, and freshman Angie Gollmer. 1980 Homecoming Court — Angie Gollmer, Louie Ortiz, Vicki Imhoff, Daren Blair, Toni Wilges, Steve Newcomer, Susan Zeisloft, Brian Carpenter, Jenny Haines, Brad Baker, Mari Zenk, Keith Sanders, Pen- ny Tule, and Tom Morr.

When students arrived for the first day of school, they were greeted by roofless halls and standing water. This view is looking east between the old vocational and aca- demic buildings. This is a view looking north from the old academic building. The north parking lot was closed until the last two months of school because of the construction. Stu- dents used the east lot instead. Stay Out signs like this were common during the months of construction. Stu- dents were forced to walk around build- ings in all kinds of weather. This view is looking into the new commons area.
