Against All dd U After the whole week's activities it was time to mellow down for the weekend. Wrong! Instead it got more stimulating for everyone. First the day began by everyone decorating their class hall for judg- ing. The Freshman hall was good for the beginners. The Sopho- mores' hall was well done with all the lights and balloons hanging around most of the hall. Thejunior hall was very unusual with the eerie purple lights. It was like walking in a haunted house. The Senior hall was very original with the bright lights and the great decorations. As the day came to an end, the students became more excited. Ev- eryone rushed to their special sec- tion to sit with their sixth hour classes. The assembly started out with a bang. The Flag Corps mem- bers were introduced with a great routine. Then her royal majesty and her court were introduced. Every- one cheered for their favorite. After they settled down a little bit, the rest of the assembly got under way. There were tumblers, water baloon throwers, cream pie splatterers, and wheelbarrel racers, who carried out the Homecoming theme Against All Odds. F? 1.

Of course, it was only the first rehears- al, but still . . . Mrs. Kistler ran around trying to direct not only the lighting crew and the cast, but also the stage manager, Biff Hawkins, so that he could direct the stage crew. Mr. Scott tried desperately to keep his sanity while playing EVERY- ONE'S music fthe accompanist couldnt make ith. Of course, every- one was confused because the or- der ofthe show had been changed again. Second rehearsal - A little more organizedg things were shaping up. It wasn't necessary to run through numbers five times to get it rightg two or three did the job nicely. Last minute touches were added to all costumes. Ginger Sanders found the plastic fruit she needed for her head-dress. Everyone breathed a big sigh of relief, especially Mr. Scott fthe accompanist finally showed upj. The worst was yet to come: Opening night! The show was fantastic! Hard work had paid off. After only two nights of practice, the show went almost perfectly.
