TAKING TIME OUT from celebrating a victorious win at the First Annual Tricycle Race, seniors Joe Canfield, Paul Cox, Scott Willis, Brian Dempsey, and J.D. Scritchfield display their enthusiasm. With tricycle races and an ice cream eating contest, Homecoming proved to be efinitely Different Have you picked up your forms yet?'' What forms? The forms for the first annual tricycle race and ice cream eating contest. Tricycle races? Ice Cream eating contest? What's Going On? Homecoming Week! — That's what was going on. It happened every year, spirit week, the thuse, the game and of course, the dance to celebrate the victory or to move ahead from a defeat. Something new and something definitely different went on in preparation for the big game on Friday, October 17, against Frankfort. It all started on Monday, October 13. Students wore camouflage and spirits were not hidden. Tuesday was the day for dressing up in as many colors as you could. Senior Tracy Efaw exclaimed, It was really fun. It was a day that you could dress and not have to match. Wednesday was clown day. Things looked definitely different that day. Even some teachers dressed in full costume. Everything was backwards on Thursday. Students could be seen wearing their clothes backwards and some even walked backwards. That didn't last long because most students were getting psyched up for the thuse that night. Many were wondering what the tricycle races would be like and who would win. Anticipation for the ice cream contest was also soaring. Several students challenged their favorite teachers to the contest. I think it's good that students and faculty can get together and blow off some steam in the form of the ice cream eating contest, said teacher Gary Hollingshead. (Continued on pg 12) 10 Student Life

It's an experience that you can't get in school or in town. Robert Shumaker, Sophomore azy, Hazy Days When students filed out the doors on the last day of the 1985-86 academic year, they had one intent — to enjoy the lazy, hazy, days of summer. There were many ways to spend summer. Some people worked, some went to the lake, some went on vacation, and then some just stayed at home catching up on soaps and eating junk food. Work kept some students busy and took up much of their leisure time. During last summer I worked on the farm. I like being out in the fresh air, seeing wild animals, taking care of the cows, and putting up hay. It's work but I don't mind it. It's an experience that you can't get in school or in town, said Robert Shumaker, sophomore. Tygart Lake was a popular place for students to spend their summer. Sophomore Scott Spring stated, I spent my whole summer at Tygart State Park. It was great. I went to the beach for the first time and I thought the ocean was beautiful. It was a time I'll always remember, said sophomore Missy Shingleton. Spending the summer in a more unusual way was Paula Duryea, sophomore. My dad is a truck driver and in the summer I went with him. With the passing of summer to fall, students had to return to school and leave behind the lazy, hazy days of summer. Summer 9
