OCTOBER U Covering Homecoming Prayers Heard Praying that it would not rain again as it did the previous year, the anticipation was overwheling on the evening of the Homecoming parade, pep rally, and dance. Overcast skies and stormy clouds threatened to ruin the evening but the rain held off and everyone stayed dry. Band members, the Gold Dusters, and spirited students fill- ed the streets of Jersey Village as they all eventually paraded into the football practice field for the pep rally. Students, shouts, the band's music, and cheerleaders spirited screams filled the air trying to rouse the football team to victory. The high energy of pep rally flowed into the Homecoming dance as just 30 minutes into the traditional dance, spirited dancers pulled down all the balloon decorations. However the flowing ribbon and flowered ladden mums made up for the damaged decorations as girls and boys alike danced the night away amid smiles and memory making dances. Written by Tammy Crouse.

The Week of Confusion Magazines, stuffed animals, crystal pieces, candles, and varieties of other fundraisers decreased the cash flow of students' family members and friends. During the first week of school, students were bombarded with brochures that ranged from Christmas bells to magazines. Along with selling fundraisers, students tried to get back into the swing of things. The entire first week proved to be an adventure for all class levels. The reason for this was the distribution of lockers. It was the first year that a computer was used. Instead of having to carry a pile of textbooks for three weeks, students received their locker number and com- bination on the first day of school. This proved beneficial for the students who took classes that had four inch width tex- tbooks. But for the most part it posed a problem because stu- dent's lockers were miles away from their classes. In coping with the problem students either carried their books around or shared a locker with one or several of their friends. ln the weeks that followed, solutions were found to most of the problems. However there were still students who had their locker assignments and no locker at the end of the year. Writ- ten by Missy Buckalew.

A Company of Wayward Saints, drama's fall comedy production, came into full swing. October 31, opening night, filled the air with fears, hopes, and pride as the play upheld the true spirit of six week's work. Because of the complexity of the show, it was a real challenge. Everyone had some pretty memorable moments, especially Matt Thompson, whose pants fell down on stage at the end of the first act on opening night. In spite of its pro- blems, the play was still fun, Senior Eugene Kato said. Behind the scenes, 66 crew members and 32 cast members put together scenery, costumes, and props to all those last special touches to make the production a true success.
