The student council made going back to school a little less painful this year with the Back to School Bash. This was a party thrown in the main gym to officially close the summer re- cess. The dance was a tremendous success with equal numbers of sopho- mores, juniors and seniors. Even the teachers seemed to be enjoying them- selves as they were seen rockin' and rollin' to the of music of such stars as David Bowie and Bill Haley and the Comets. Tunes from the fifties were re- ceived with as much enthusiasm as were new wave and pop music. When old favorites such as Shout were played, the dance floor became packed: everyone tried to get into the action. When the final hour rolled around there were groans of ls it real- ly over so soon? See ya' later alliga- tor! MAKING LIKE GINGER ROGERS AND FRED ASTAIRE: Archana Pradhan and'Da- vid Josefsberg trip the light fantastic.

Where can students tie them- selves to their classmates, gyrate with hoops, roll around on the floor, dress in funky clothes use their heads as orange-squeezers and their back-sides as balloon- poppers, and play Mickey Says? The answer can only be the lnterclass games. This com- petition-fiiied event took place on the evening of October 15 in the main gym. Their was a bull mar- ket on ticket sales this year be- cause each grade was allowed to keep the proceeds their own offi- cers sold. At 8:00 sophomores, juniors and seniors decked out in gold, white and maroon respec- tively, stormed the doors to the main gym. They were ready to win at all costs, For the first event, strains of U2 urged contestants to run faster and faster around the lines of musicai chairs. When all the dust had cleared one junior was left seated, although on the floor. The 1950's fad of huia-hooping was revived for one night as con- testants gyrated their way to suc- cess. The final event was Simon Says with vice-prlncipal Merone keeping all competitors on their toes. The spirit of the lnterclass games was not limited to the contestants. Spectators cheered their classes to victory with chants of Go home seniors! and Bedtime sophomoresl As Maria Madonia said lt was a great way for all the grades to get. together and play in the spirit of competition.
