Red and White basketball game ... heavy metal dying out. The one thing that affected almost everyone in school was that the curfew was enforced. Any teenager under 18 had to be off of the streets by 11 on weeknights and 12 on weekends. Teens thought that if the time was going to be so early, the age should be under 16. Deena Konstantopoulos, a junior, explained, “I think the curfew is very stupid. It should be the parents’ decision when they want their kids home. But if the curfew is going to be here forever they should change the time to 1:30.” Senior Robin Adams also commented on the curfew. “It doesn’t do any good to enforce the law be- cause that makes it even more tempting for teenagers to stay out later. If parents know their kids are staying out until all hours of the morning and they get into trouble, then it is the parents’ problem to take care of them.” Another thing that affected the students was acid washed denim jeans. Along with the jeans there were also long and short skirts, shirts, and jean dresses. Both boys and girls were affected by the new fashion. It was one of the most widely spread styles of the year. The list of new activities, events, fads, and concerns grew longer and longer as the year progressed. It soon became apparent that there were enough new things for something different in Student Life. — By Barb Joy 4 Student Life Divider During Spirit Week senior Aaron Tilton wraps up sophomore Tony Cepuran in the cheerleader-sponsored mummy wrap competition.

 8 ib = win one for Spirit Week Excitement filled the halls as a week of Homecoming events showed the true Tiger spirit. Throughout the week freshmen through seniors, including faculty, had the chance to show their spirit. Camouflage, Hawaiian, 60's and 70 s, and the traditional color and dress up days were the themes. Starting off the busy week, classes began to work on floats. Camouflage filled the halls as students and faculty dressed alike. Cheerleaders tried their hardest to make the noon events fun for all. Trouble arose, though, when lack of participation dampened the fun. Senior Helen Konstontopoulos commented, I think they're neat, but should be made so more people would get involved. Maybe changing the time would help. During the half-way point of the week, everyone could think of ways to be different and to improve on the fun. Although most looked on the events with a smile. I think they're neat, but should be made so more people would get involved. Maybe changing the time would help.” — Helen Konstantopoulos there were still frowns. Sophomore Scott Brewer said, We need more activities and participation; all students should have a chance to give an idea. Spirit Week was coming to a close. Last minute preparations were made. Banners were completed for the For- eign Language Club contest, and halls were decorated by the different classes. Among the other activities, Student Council sponsored the Spirit Line through town and the bonfire. They also painted students' cars on Friday. The parade, pep rally, and participation filled the closing day. The Tigers tough teamwork on the football field led to a victory over the Atchison Redmen, which made Homecoming an even bigger success. The Homecoming Dance, sponsored by Student Council at the Elk's Club, rounded out the week's activities.
