Homecoming A spirited Elko High school helped make a successful 1988 Homecoming. Starting off the Indians’ week was “Spirit Week”. Monday, October 3, was “College Sweatshirt” day. Tuesday, was “Pajama” day. And Wednesday, was “Hilarious Hair-Do Day. A lot of the students got a kick out of spraying their hair colors and spiking their hair. Thursday, was “Tie Die” day, quite a few stu- dents were spotted wear- ing died clothes, and of course, Friday was “Ma- roon and White” day. On Friday, October 7, there was an opening homecom- ing pep assembly at 1:15. Everyone had a great time watching the cheerleaders, the dance team, the chora- liers, the J.V. football play- ers do a skit, and the intro- duction of the homecoming attendants. Immediately following the pep was a pa- rade, including the band, Cheerleaders, some clubs, and the homecoming atten- dants. The Homecoming game was kicked off at 7:30 Fri- day night. During half-time, the Elko Band of Indians performed. After the perfor- mance, was the introduc- tion of the homecoming at- tendants again, then the an- nouncing of the queen, making a very happy Carrie Thomas the 1988-89 Home- coming Queen. But Carrie wasn’t the only one with reason to celebrate, Elko went on to take a victory of Elko 56 vs Fernley 6. Going along with the theme “The Flame”, it was a sizzling week at Elko High.

A BIT OF A SHOCK! 1 J “Character is some of the things that make someone himself, not someone else.” What better time than in high school for young people to express them- selves? We’re in the prime of our lives, and we’ll only be young once, right? So we like to think. High school courses that prepare us for life outside of Elko, but when we were able to leave class for any reason, there was an uncontrol- lable desire to run to Burger King or to the nearest tape store. Individuality reigns in each E.H.S. stu- dent. No one could make us conform. Each one willing to be a leader and able to set trends, not follow them. We are the youth of today, but also the leaders of tomorrow. Today we bring warmth from home and everything the outside world had to offer, with the things we pin up in our lockers, the clothes we wear, even our music pref- erence, and when all of the tardy bells have stopped ringing, sending us to our designated class, we will have rel- ished all that we have learned and share it with the friends of tomorrow. WHAT RICK HAD TO SAY High school life is more or less a time of growth and expansion of one’s intellectual as well as physical state of being. Love and life are external, depending on how you perceive it. Always remember that through all your travels on the road of life, high school days were just a stepping stone between then and the future. 10
