Scene I: Tall fi A . rudging back to school wasn't exactly the way most of us planned to beat the heat. Across the nation, temperatures were still soaring above 1106 by the end of August' g f if T' A 'A i As the first bell rang, we filed into the gym for our annual Welcome Back! Freshman Intimidation speech. When the last of the new students finally discovered the gym, they were trampled underfoot as we all stampeded to our second hour class and slowly settled back into the routine of school. Activities began in earnest the tirst of September. The Spartans Marching Band 'presented their first concert September 4 in the gymnasium. Then Kayettes sponsored the annual Back-to-School Dance the next night. A new system was tried for Picture Day, September 10. All freshman and sophomore gym classes filed to the auditorium the first of each hourg juniors were called alphabetically at the end ef each class. s While all the clubs were selling memberships, Kayettes found they had sold tive too many. Five senior guys had paid membership dues and were given the go-ahead by the sponsors. Administrators said no, saying the boys would have to form their own club, Kays. Between September 15-20, many of us watched NBC's mini-series, 'Y Shogun. Over 75 million people tuned in to the series, making it the most watched program since Roots I thought 'Shogun' was excellent. The acting was good, photography excellent, and the costumes were really good. I think it really helped that they jilmed it on location. Although I'm not an expert on Japanese history, it appeared to be quite realistic. ' ' Arvina Lumley Presidential Candidate John B. Anderson stepped into the election spotlight when he won the necessary 1596 ofthe vote to be spiders participate in thetelevised debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters on September 21. President Jimmy Carter refused to participate, saying Anderson was not a viable candidate. Candidate Ronald Reagan, however, did debate Anderson one-to-one.

COKE. lhe evening of October 17 was clear and cool. Our .eyes were focused on the queen candidates as they walked on tothe tield at Welch Stadium. Tension was high while each candidate was announced. Then cheering and clapping took over when Dana Ginavan was announced as the 1981 Home- coming Queen. Preparation forthe festivities had been going on for weeks. Math Club sold mums for the football game, four organizations and four classes began planning their floats, and the band and drill team worked for weeks on a special show for half time. Meanwhile, girls were searching for long dresses for the dance while guys ordered corsages. Queen candidates, announced during the October 3 pep assembly, were Shana Bollinger, Becky Cranz, Dana Ginavan, Sandy Wells and Cassandra Zurich. A parade brought the girls to the stadium where Dana later reigned over the winning game against Leavenworth. It was really an honor to be chosen as Homecoming Queen, but the best part of the game was watching our team beat Leavenworth. Dana Ginavan Black Market Art Club won first place of S50 in the mini-float contest. The floats were taken to the tield before the game Friday night, and balloons decorated the stands and floated through the air during the game. 'Make a Little Magic was the theme for the homecoming dance featuring Monarch the next night in the gymnasium. Decorations were peach or brown table cloths, accented with strips of crepe paper and carnations. , W I, X iggwgg Q5 , , 1 Sei? 7 A L 'friif I 2 - fi ,Q -waive. - ea ' rw- vi-J 'f2', 1 if: 1 'iii u-:vez 1 N 455 ' 4' Qi . at . no aan! , y an . - 4, 3 , Z M V, . .
