60’s Take Over The traditional spirit of Fort Hunt was proven once again by the enthusiasm of the students during Homecoming week. The theme this year was The 60 ' s”; the four day week was started off with what else, 60 ' s day!!” Samuel Russell was voted best dressed and overall the Junior Class won. Pajama Day” was also a great success as many students roamed the halls in their fuz¬ zy slippers clutching their teddy bears and pillows. Scott Flanders won best sleepy head and naturally the freshman won overall. Twin day” was the day to grab a friend and dress alike. Many heads turned as these dynamic duos” passed by. Diane Grimm and Tracey Sherman paired up as punk rockers; however, it was the spirited senior class that stole the day. Concluding our hectic spirit week, Federals celebrated the Fort’s 20th year An¬ niversary with a Fort Hunt Birthday Party” and cake was served compliments of the Stu¬ dent Government. The Friday afternoon pep rally was a perfect end to the week as the psyched up Federals prepared to defeat the Hayfield Hawks that night. Hoping for a victory, Carlos Martin appeals to a higher authority. Working diligently on the senior class hall, Jackie Hirschkop, attempts to be creative. Demonstrating her school spirit, Sandy Lavely dresses up for pajama day. this a dream or is Keith Blackwell really in school in his p.j. ' s?

Feds Get Down After a fun-filled Spirit Week and an en¬ thusiastic football game, the Federals were ready for the long-awaited Homecoming Dance to celebrate their victory over the Hayfield Hawks, 28-8. The dance was spon¬ sored by the Student Government and refreshments were provided by various clubs. Beforehand many couples enjoyed eating out, while others enjoyed the comfort and leisure of preparing their own dinner. Many things were different this year. The dance was held in the gym, and, because of the wood floor, shoes were not allowed, making dancing more comfortable. Instead of the traditional long dress, semi-formal attire such as cocktail dresses were worn. Rockin’ to the sounds of Oz” the energetic Federals did their stuff! It was a night of both romance and socializing. Many compliments were passed and although romance was in the air, some chose to wander off by themselves. As 12:30 rolled around, the dancing ended; however, for most the night was still young. Sometimes girl talk is more important than dancing as Krissy Oehrlein and Michelle Gaunya once again take the floor. Isting from the dance, Ronnie Reaves and Inara Bee take advantage of the delicious nnchies. Homecoming 17
