He knew what he was doing and made the night very enjoyable, stated junior Tom George about the Homecoming Dance. lt was the most successful dance for Fox in the last 10 years, added Tom Caffery. The Home- coming Dance capped off such events as Spirit Week, Homecoming assembly, and the football game. Spirit Week produced a great deal of excitement at Fox. There were dress-up days throughout the week: Hat Day, Over- all and Buttons Day, Western Day, Back- wards Day, and Red and White Day. The Seniors won the Spirit link competi- tion by purchasing 437 links. There was also a banner contest: The Seniors, The Drama Club and Mrs. Karl's art class won in each of the categories. ln the Ms. Lind- bergh contest, Pat Sweeney took the hon- ors. Pat won for his impersonation of a cheerleader. At the Homecoming assembly there was a twinkie-eating contest, with the athletes doing the honors. The biggest crowd ever showed up for the football game. Fox won the game 21-0, against Lindbergh, with junior John Gang- loff tying a school punting record of 64 yards.

MlSSOC.lRl'S BEST Since its founding along the banks of the Mississippi in the l800's, St. Louis has been a cen- ter of recreation and summer fun. A favorite spot for all-day excite- ment is Six Flags over Mid-Amer- ica, located just west of St. Louis. Six Flags features such rides as the long flume, the Highland Fling, and a thrilling roller coaster ride on the Screaming Eagle, ln the downtown area, summer afternoons would not be complete without Cardinal baseball. The Red Birds battled their way into the 1982 World Series, and defeat- ed the Milwaukee Brewers four games out of seven to clinch the Championship. The St. Louis Zoo, which is one of the country's finest, houses many of the world's most exotic species of animal and marine life. Kids and adult alike can ride the train through and around the en- tire zoo, and also visit the gift shops and museums. South of the city, in Missouri's river valleys and hills, is Camp Sil- ver Mines, a favorite spot for hikers, fishermen, and canoeists. There, and many other places in the St. Louis area, are attractions that make it a worthwhile place for summer fun. by Adam Thornberry They have white-water races every summer at Silver Mines, said Lonnie Smallen, a one-time resident of this area. lt's a race against the clock, and dangerous, too! Students with an A average received tickets to two Cardi- nal baseball games free of charge. ,X
