Mickey Mouse craze invades campus The theme of Disney Days for Homecoming Week (October 29 to November 2) transformed the campus from a regular school setting into Ir- vine ' s own Magic Kingdom. The decorations were neat, said Senior Brandi Suttle. The balloons and the streamers enlivened the whole school and helped the students forget the drudge of school work for the en- tire week. Frontier Day, sponsored by the sophomore and freshmen classes, kicked off the week-long activities. Costumed in western garb, students were treated to a country barbecue (hotdogs) in the amphitheater. Highlighting the day was the First An- nual Chill Cook-Off where the blue rib- bon was shared by Shannon Zech and MikeTague ' sTAs. I thought that it was fun for the students to judge and to taste the chili for themselves although they weren ' t the official judges, said Senior Chris Halberstadt. I think we were all just eating and being merry. On Halloween, students wore everything from the ever-traditional BEAUTY SCHOOL DROP-OUT: Imitating Rebecca Thomas during the Homecoming rally against Mission Viego, Jeff Fisher prances around the gym hoping to win the unofficial beauty contest, BOPPING FOR THE CROWD: Disguised as Cyn- di Lauper, Bridgette Jeffcoat mimics her unusual pose for her cheering crowd that gave her first place in the costume contest. witches costumes to togas during the Spook ' s and Spirit ' s Day sponsored by the junior class. During the lun- chtime festivities, class competitions such as a mating call contest and a limbo contest were held. The whole thing was good, clean fun, said Senior Pam Orton. It was great to see that a lot of people decid- ed to show their spirit by dressing up. On Thursday, the campus changed into a wonderland. It was Fantasy Day and students dressed as fairies or Disney characters and some were in their own creations. Lunchtime festivities included a pie-eating contest (no hands allowed) , and a best costume contest. I think that the activities were a lot better this year than last year, said Junior Martin Walter, and there was more spirit because it seemed like there was more student participation. Ending Homecoming Week was the traditional Color Day and students wore blue and green and Mickey Mouse ears. During Color Day, the whole campus, including the interiors of the buildings, was decorated with posters, signs, balloons and streamers by students in a class competition. At the noontime activities, the Modern Americans entertained the crowd in the amphitheater. Homecoming Week was just in- credible, said Chris Koutures, junior. The whole week was a suc- cess because of the competitions and student involvement. My favorite day was Color day, because the students generated more pride for their classes and for their school that day by decorating the biiildings to show their spirit, said Senior Sheri Bowser. — by Gia Villanueva Albert and James Albert and James 12 Homecoming Week

Homecoming dazzled by Video DJ Students swarmed into ttie gym tull ot spirit and anticipation for the Capistrano Valley rally. The noisy crowd dimmed to a small roar as Coach Terry Henigan approached the microphone ready to reveal the five Homecoming finalists. As Nancy Bower, Dayna Esko, Alaina Miller, Pam Orton and Rebecca Thomas were announced as members of the 1984 Homecoming Court, screams echoed throughout the gym while the princesses accepted corsages from their waiting escorts. Two weeks later, at the N lission Vie- Jo rally the court participated in a sur- Iprise pie-eating contest held as a spirit booster during Homecoming Week. As each princess raced to devour her cream pie, a victorious hand shot up declaring Nancy Bower the winner. I wasn ' t suprised that I won, said Bower. I have such a big mouth! After four days of spirit activities. Homecoming Week came to an end with the Mission Viejo halftime show. Excitement filled the night air as six convertible Mercedes, each carrying a princess, paraded around the stadium. To enhanced the Disney Days theme, Disney characters pranced between each car. Bringing up the end of the parade was Prince Charming, por- trayed by Kevin Rosenburg, waiting to carry away the soon-to-be queen in a red Ferrari. The envelope please!

Queen Alaina Miller drove off with Prince Charming amid the cheering of the crowd. I was so happy to be on the court, said Miller, but I was shocked when I heard my name announced as the queen. Wrapping-up Disney Days, was the traditional Homecoming Dance spon- sored by the ASB. Couples entered the IHS ballroom and experienced a new style of the eighties, the Video DJ. The students ' , eyes danced in time with their feet as they viewed the giant video screen. The music was varied to accomodate students with differing tastes. The familiar surroundings, disguised with balloons and streamers, created a warm, enchanting evening for all to enjoy. I ' ve never seen so many people dancing and having a good time, said Senior Lisa Glenn. The Video DJ was the best idea for Irvine dances. Homecoming was so exciting, said Shelli Cox. I ' m only sorry that the festivities come only once a year. — by Karen Beery and Jennifer Pederson B e. V EP H IIP 1 f MM w ii Albert and James Albert and James 14 Homecoming Dance
