rl ' i » rf Mr. Fishet stand by. The hayride was sponsored by Campus Life. Games, dances, and spiritual activities fill weekends of students Dashing home at the end of a hectic week, Elmhurst students expressed their pent-up emotion in a variety of ways, from squealing out of the school parking lot to breathing a loud sigh of regret over a stack of twenty books. Attending football and basketball games was a favorite Trojan pastime. Fans braved chilly nights and uncomfortable bleachers to hoarsely chant Trojan power . In victory or defeat, Trojans declared that We ' ve got spirit . After the games, Trojans flocked to Dale ' s to quench parched throats with a coke.

Relaxing with friends gave students renewed energy for the week ahead. Basketball players find that a coke after a practice helps to quench their thirst, junior Steve Stiffler arrives with the refills while junior Kent Iba, senior Rick Wismer, and junior Bob Smiley empty theirs and go back for more.
