Spring activities captivate Matador spirit Spring has been quite ac- tive for the Matadors this year. Student body officers felt a need for more activi- ties to promote spirit throughout spring. Because there became a slack in school pride, the student council sponsored Awareness Week. Classes presented skits in assemblies to alert the students of the growing problems at Esta- cado. Awareness Week led to E.H.S. Day, held in honor of the Matador mascot. Spring was also a busy time for seniors. They picked up invitations, April 17. Invitations ordered late were to be picked before April 28, or sold as extras. ABOVE RIGHT: Seniors presented the lack of pride in the school li- brary.

Students journey through the Enchanted Forest Highlight of the '71 Sr. Carnival was the Hippie Pad spon- sored by Mr. Joe Sander's homeroom. The booth featured a room shaded with black lights, psychedelic posters, and a car- peted floor with lounging pillows. A highly spiced tea was served as refreshment. Many students lounged in the pad and listened to mind-taking recordings. Enchanted Forest was the theme of the carnival. Artificial trees and shrubbery were used to accent the theme. Seniors dressed according to homeroom themes rather than the over- all carnival theme. Another attraction of the carnival was the marriage booth. Many students took wedding vows and lay down bachelor rights for the night. The official marriage license were valid only for the night. Other features of the carnival were the teacher's dunk, the dance, the fortune telling booth, and the psychedelic shack. There was a concession stand with refreshments for travelers in the Enchanted Forest. LEFT: Herman Moore and Marilyn Rawls prepared the fortune-telling booth for the big night.
