 The Sky's The Limit During Homecoming. Despite some cancellations of some of our more tradi- tional homecoming activities, there were still many things to do to keep us busy. Monday was Dress-Up Day. Students roamed the hallways decked out in the nicest clothes they could find in their closets. Tuesday was Fifties Day. Guys with greasy hair and girls with poodle skirts were a com- mon and hilarious sight. Wednesday was Bum Day. People wore the grungiest rags that most mothers thought they'd thrown away. Thursday was Toga Day. Students adorned themselves with every kind of sheet imaginable. Flannel, Snoopy, designer, and satin sheets were seen along with plain, white sheets. Friday was the ever-traditional Orange and Black Day. These days for dressing differently were en- joyed by all and heightened Slicer Spirit. 1. Members of the Football team strut to the center of the gym to be introduced during the Homecoming pep session. 2. Don Kopach feels out of place because he doesn't have a toga. 3. Scott Stiller winces as he catches a water balloon successfully. Homecoming

Slicers Turn School Into An The 1986 Spirit Week had its bright moments, but in some ways it was a disappointment as well. The weather was a con- stant problem, but the Slicers made the best of the situation by continuing the week with the same rowdy spirit that LaPorte is known to display. The powderpuff football game was cancelled because there was no place to play. However, the class games were as popular as ever. Cartwheel races and the Lifesaver games were just a few of the events that took place. Homecoming Friday was a par- ticularly memorable one for the entire school because there was a special Homecoming pep session during school. Teachers and students performed skits and aroused the spirit of the student body. The weather looked promising until the afternoon. Severe thunderstorms caused the cancellations of the bonfire and the car caravan. However, someone up above was listening to our prayers because the weather cleared up in time for the game. 1. Mike Pah ' mother would be upset if she knew he was wear- ing those rags to school 2. A group of senior girls sit around waiting for the next event to take place. 3. Doug Beck, Jeff Sutherlin, Greg Cooper, and Dawnan Sharrow perform a skit to raise the spirit level during the pep session. 006 Homecoming
