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, . .

C0111- ictober began with a big bang with the Kayette Variety Show October 1. The Kayettes donated over S500 to the American Heart Association. Following this, on October 14, StuCo sponsored the movie Ice Castles for our evening entertainment. October could have been named test month. There was the S.R.A. test for sophomores, the A.S.V.A.B. Service test, the Junior Kuder test, the P.S.A.T. National Merit, and the usual end-of-the-quarter tests. College night was really helpful because it emphasized fnancial aid information and gave us a chance to learn about the colleges we want to go to. JejfCravens Classes began in earnest to work on money-making projects. Juniors and freshmen planned bake sales on October 11, and junior magazine sales began. The Fall Concert on October 22 featured a wide variety of numbers, including a thirty-minute song called Gloria, Also on October 27, Kansas colleges presented information about their schools for juniors and seniors on College Night. Meanwhile, a war began between Iran and Iraq. Many of us were uneasy, wondering if a draft would be reinstated. To relieve some of our tension, the World Series began with the Kansas City Royals against the Philadelphia Phillies. All of us loyal fans were glued to the TV set from October 14-20g homework couldn't budge us. In the end, we were let down when the Phillies won in the sixth game, but we were still proud of the Royals. Presidential candidates Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were still battling for votes while the hostages, in captivity for almost one entire year, still saw little hope for release. At home, a serious problem arose in Atlantag fourteen black children were murdered or disappeared in fifteen months. The end of October brought both the end of the first quarter and the celebration of Halloween. We teased our teachers with threats of tricks instead of treats, while they reminded us that grade cards wouldn't be passed out until after Halloween!
