Student Life As our puzzle is comprised of more than just school work, we spent our time in ways other than behind a desk. Our student life was as important as our school work. Special events broke the monotony of six classes Five days a week. Almost every other week, from Sep- tember to early November, we gathered in the gym for a high spirited pep rally. Homecoming activities were the high- light of October. The zany costumes of spirit week, the antics at the Lion's Roar, the Homecoming victory over Brandon, and the memorable night of the Home- coming dance set the pace for an exciting Sugar Shak. the school play, class elec- tions, Grand Nite, the prom, and gradua- tion soon followed and our thoughts turned to making plans for the next year. What we did. where we went, and what we wore were part of our student life also. Our fashions, fads, and pastimes set us apart from other generations and gave us a look all our own.

Could Ixonard Erickson and his :ystonc Cops? Homecoming 1981 took a turn in a new direction, but kept the old traditions in sight. For the first time, the themes of spirit week, the Lion’s Roar, and the homecom- ing dance were unified. The concept of time in the past, present, and future was woven into the theme of “Pastime at Leo’s” for the Lion’s Roar. The theme also carried over to the days of spirit week and the idea of a Masquerade Ball for the homecoming dance. At the Masquerade Ball, the students were everything from flower children, the Keestone Cops, and Maid Marian and Robin Hood to Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara. To add to the excite- ment of homecoming week, King’s victorious football team defeated the Brandon Eagles in a game where they were predicted to lose. Combined with the game, dance, and the spirit of the students and administration through- out the school. Homecoming 1981 was a memorable series of events to be cherished for a lifetime.
