Resting Up After Coming Home Six Days Can Make One Weak Hundreds of yards of crepe paper, 144 blue and white bal- loons and a lowered ceiling were trashed. Jill Tracy was back in Morgantown. The foot- ball team was recovering from their win, and everyone else was recovering from their cele- brating. The janitors were sweeping the stands at the sta- dium. and pictures were sent off to be developed. It can be said that the activi- ties on Sunday of Homecom- ing Week 1983 weren't quite as radical as the rest of the week. An exciting six days with a very full schedule had prepared stu- dents for a quiet rest. If one wasn’t seeing too clear- ly or just didn’t feel like oneself on Monday, then the theme for the day would fix that. Look at CJs Now prompted students to dress to their personality and or wear glasses. Looking to the Future was how many spent Tuesday. This day had the punkers coming out of the woodwork and roam- ing the halls. Wednesday helped carry out the Memories of the Past ideas since it was “50’s Neck Tie Day. Suits, ties, dresses and all to- gether sharp outfits were in or- der for dressing up on Polar Bears Have Class day. This was Thursday, and by now students were ready for something great. Although there was some controversy, they were treated to a bonfire organized by Student Council. If its heat wasn’t enough to get us going, then Jimmy Sears and Frankie Campbell mashing ba- nanas into their mouths was, and the Alma Mater via candle- light was an inspiring sight. Then Friday came. Students were down to their sweats for Sweat It Buc-CJp Day and they did too. FSH came out with a 14-7 win and Queen Rosella Libonati and court came out through a specially designed band formation with distinct class. STRINGING BLUE AND WHITE crepe paper.

Saturday afternoon was spent decorating the gym for the dance which began at 8 p.m. Jill Tracy from WCLG pro- vided the music, Keywanettes provided the refreshments and Student Council provided the decorations. Junior Samantha Branden- berg, transfer student from North Marion, said, Coming to this school was quite different. Homecoming was so much more fun here. I loved it!
