HOMECOMING DANCE Dance proves a sparkling success u c The music, the people, and the decorations were all reasons for the success of the 1984 Homecoming Dance. Kim Kilpatrick and Todd McKenna homecoming Queen and King, and their court reigned over the three and one-half hours of enjoyment, Saturday Oct. 20. The enjoyment included dancing, refreshments, pictures and just having fun with friends. A-round 8:45 pm. things started to swing. Students, faculty and everyone dressed in black, white,green, purple and red, bopped to Let's Go Crazy and other tunes provided by student DJ Derrick Jackson, 85. Jackson later slowed down the pace as the atmosphere changed to a more romantic one. The decorations were silver and sparkling, shining everytime the light hit them, just as the Bluejays had shone the night before with a 28-0 homecoming victory over Seaman. They were simple decorations, but glamorous, em- phasizing the homecoming theme Glamorous Life . Pictures were taken by Brian Clark, Campus Life staff member, for $1. As the night rolled on, dancers nibbled on snacks and drank punch provided by StuCo, which sponsored all of the homecoming events. ■ Lorraine Grant, 86, John Kelly, 86, and Julie Nielson,86, watch as Principal John Kimbrel prepares to crown the Junior Princess.

SPIRIT WEEK Students work togetherto raise spiritl Jimmy Hambruch, 85, Brian Atha, 85, and Brian Sturdevant, 85, put together a chant to win the puzzle race during the Manhattan Pep Rally. What would you think if you saw high school students walking a-round wearing crazy hats, silly ties, and ridiculous sun glasses? You would probably think the student body had gone insane. Even though this could be true, this question actually describes some of the excitement of Spirit Week 1984. Spirit Week took place prior to the JCHS - Manhattan game, Oct. 22-26. The week gave students a chance tc break away from the usual monotony of school, and dress up in strange clothing and really act crazy all to raise school spirit Spirit Week was a lot of fun, it gave students a feeling of excite- ment and school pride ,we all worked together and really had a good time, said Shannon Gary, d5. Monday was set aside as blue and white day,but since no announcement was made prior to that day concerning the Michelle Strain, 87, Molly Lueker, 85, Patty Chapa, 86, and Rikkl Waechter, 86, dazzle the crowd at the Manhattan pep rally. Teresa Peters, 85, and Jill Croy, 85, put their minds together during look alike day, and came up fruity. dress for the day, not many students participated. Tuesday was sweat day, with the theme for the day, Let's make Manhattan sweat. Wednesday was twin day, and even though this title seemed to imply that students simply dress alike, JCHS students take very little of a simple definition. Many students were suprised when twin raisins came walking down the halls. The raisins were actually seniors Jill Croy and Teresa Peters. Also an entire complement of referees greeted students, as teachers Dave Buhl, math, Joe Beck, history, Marsha Jones, Spanish, and Jerry Henn, math, dressed as the infamous zebras. Thursday the students came to school in hats, ties, and shades; with more varieties than anyone could imagine. Friday was the big day, not only the game day, but students also went crazy in Zootsuits. Some students borrowed old clothes from their parents, some even bought clothes from the Salvation Army. 713
