Activities such as dressing up for twin day as well as participating in the bottle sucking contest were held during the week. Although beach day seemed to be the favorite of most students, Christine Boston preferred pajama day. I liked it be- cause I didn ' t have to dress for school, laughed Boston. A popular new event which drew many par- ticipants was the pentathlon, in- cluding: a paper plate discus throw, a straw javelin throw, a napkin shot-put, a backward long jump, and a tricycle race. The pentathlon was the most successful of all the events, commented USL officer Lynne Westafer. With so many ac- tivities, Winterfest gave each stu- dent the chance to become in- volved. As the finale of the celebration, Andy Johnson was crowned Win- terfest King by Homecoming Queen, Margaret Shoemaker. It was a great week! concluded Kim Wynn. m After being announced Winterfest King, Andy Johnson proudly displays his crown.

Peralta was ' out . ra- ex- geous! said Karen Welker, pressing Peralta ' s famous phrase. A new feature of the show, two commercial breaks, also added comic relief to the serious perfor- mances of the talent show partici- pants. The organizations of SADD and USL presented short commer- cials. The winners of the 1986 Talent Show for third period: La Shay Hicks (first place); Leela Rao (sec- ond plac; and Teresa Montoya (third place); for fourth period; Spe- cial K (first place); La Tura Louder (second place); and Monte Burton (third place); Grand Prize; Scotland Yard.
