Spring brings fun The Spring Fling gave students and administra- tors a chance to find out what Marshall organiza- tions are all about while allowing clubs to raise money. But it was also much more. It was a chance to get a large group of my fi-iends together and relax for an hour at school, said senior Anne Van Horn. The tim- ing of the Spring Fling with the advent of Fiesta was also important. It was a well-timed opportunity for the student body to get into the swing of Fiesta, said Lauren McCarty, se- nior. The exciting event even caused some seniors to stay on campus during lunch, so as to join in the fes- tivities. It provided intel- lectual stimulation by watching the antics of un- derclassmen, claimed se- nior Karl Rodriguez. The beautiful sun-filled afternoons coupled with the close-knit upbeat at- mosphere made Marshall ' s own mini-fiesta an ex- citing scaled down model of the real thing. Senior Kelly Johnson stated, It was an appropriate way to cap off my senior year. Anicle: Tom Morrow Photos; Robin Clay Senior Rachel Lozano hams it up for the camera at the Spring Flmg. Frolics are fun The Fall Frolic and the Spring Fling were oppor- tunities for students to sup- port school organizations, to socialize among friends, and to enjoy a break from the first three classes. Many students, however, found other enjoyable aspects to the two-day localized car- nivals. Lynda Grazda, senior, left absolutely no doubt what she enjoyed most. Both meant FOOD, ' she declared. Other people ap- preciated the special atmo- sphere which drew the school into a tightly-knit group. Senior Gurpaul Singh commented, Both the Fall Frolic and Spring Fling gave us a sense of school unity. Other, more unique rea- sons also surfaced. Senior Cathy Nguyen stated, 1 liked the Spring Fling bet- ter because it was during Fiesta and it was more live- ly, with music and espe- cially the dancing by our Biology II class.

The idea, intro- duced to Marshall by Prin- cipal Mike Watts, gave each club the opportunity to raise money by operating concession booths. Under- classmen reveled in the newfound freedom of a one hour lunch, while seniors, already accustomed to a one-hour lunch, neverthe- less found that the Fall Frolic yielded more variety I had a phenomenal time! Eric Peterson (11) It was very enjoyable, Chris Guevara (12) I feel that the tender fajitas by the Key Club were among the very best I ' ve tasted, Art Rodriguez (12) I didn ' t really have to stand in line very long! Jason Hovel (11) Waiting in line with teachers made me realize that they were just as hun- gry as I was. David More- no (12) The only thing I didn ' t like was when the grease from the fajitas dripped on my favorite pair of pants, but what sticks in my mind is the way people were working together and be- ing really positive about getting things done. Claire MacRae (12) It was a fantastic idea. Mr. Stan Adams. What struck me most was the overall unity of the whole school. Vu Do (12) than the usual quick junket for a hamburger. Junior Stephanie Spillman ex- pressed her opinion by say- ing, There was a lot of variety and it was good. Senior Carrie Blodgett said, I appreciate the wide va- riety of food to choose from. It was nice to find everything from fajitas to eggrolls. Students de- served a break from the hum drum school lunches and the Fall Frolic was the perfect remedy.

Making the costumes does take a great deal of time, but I feel that par- ticipation in the parade is an honor, a means of pos- itive recognition for our school and an enjoyable ex- perience for the students. Mrs. Judy Olfers The Pilgrims land w o THE PRIDEfJ The pride of JMHS, the Ram Band, marches in the heat of the parade. Hot band marches onward Overcoming the odds was the task of the band this year. The Battle of Flowers parade is different every year. Band members have jokingly called it eve- rything from The River Parade, to the Battle of Showers Parade. This year however the heat struck. Senior Cathy Wolfe said, The outdoor temperature was about ninety two de- grees while the street tem- perature was about 105 degrees. By the end of the parade ten to fifteen people had already dropped out because of the heat. Al- though marching in the pa- rade is an honor, the heat could have been left be- hind. Junior Melissa Var- gas said, Marching in the Battle of Flowers Parade was HOT! HOT! HOT! I will never do it again. Go- ing 2.3 miles with only a squirt of water doesn ' t help any either. As every year, the band made an excep- tional showing in all the events they participated in. The crowd went wild as the remarkable float made its way through the streets of downtown. Topped with ecstatic students, the float was a huge success and a tremendous honor for Marshall. This experi- ence occurs only once every five years and Marshall, be- ing one of the forty-one floats to participate, made an exceptional showing. The theme this year was The Landing of the Pil- grims. The major respon- sibilit) ' of the school was to provide a group of students willing to wear full Pilgrim and Indian costumes and walk in extremely hot tem- peratures. This lucky group was made up of Student Council members, and their costumes were made by Mrs. Sharon Solanik and Mrs. Judy Olfers. Lisa Hall, one of the participants on the float said, Being a part of the JMHS float in the parade was an exciting experience. Although the walk was long and the temperatures were hot, it was a lot of fun seeing people I knew along the parade route and as a senior, being able to rep- resent my school. The Battle of Flowers Association, in its ninet) ' seventh year, selected the theme and in the fall some of the students attended a float drawing. Here they received ideas for their cos- tumes and viewed a rough draft drawing of the float. Mrs. Olfers commented on their participation in the parade, Making the cos- tumes does take a great deal of time, but I feel that participation in the parade is an honor, a means of positive recognition and an enjoyable experience for the students.
