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.

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.

OVEMBER U Covering The Evidence Saturday Sacrifice Most students slept late on Saturday, but juniors and seniors getting ready to graduate struggled to get out of their beds and get to the ACT or SAT destination at 8:30 a. m. The solemn look on each studentls face expressed their feel- ings, while turning each page of the test booklet. After, ap- proximately three and a half hours, each student left hoping they passed atleast part of the test. The ACT was hard but it was worth it, Sarah Ramshur, senior, said. 'tThe SAT was the hardest test I have ever taken but I will never take it again! Kim Beacham, senior, exclaimed. Writ- ten by Joy Newbury. Filling out papers, and studying hard is all Kim Korenek, senior, could do to prepare for the SA T test, Photo by Joy Newbury. Dress-up Days Show High Spirit Underclassmen stared in shock as they watched seniors dressed in fatigues walk down the hall or saw them sitting on the floor, with their Strawberry Short- cake and He-man lunch boxes, eating their bologna sandwiches. This was seen almost every Friday during football season. There was Toga Day, House Shoe Day, Nerd Day, Lunch Box Day, MASH Day, Hawaiian Day and Fifties Day. I think the seniors that dressed up showed lots of spirit but more should have dressed up, Brian Edgar, sophomore, said. 'KI think it was great, because it showed who the seniors were!
