Brenden Blankenship led the Wolfpack with 99 yards, Tom Castillo added 71 yards for the team and Andy Hamilton ran for 68 yards. Dan Beatty and Scott Shaw split 24 tackles and Dan Austin contributed 9. It was a to- tal team effort said Coach Bauqh- man. 3 The half time ceremonies were held on the football field. Kings and Queens from the past were invi- ted back by the student council. The candidates and the court assembled on the field for the announcing of the 1984 homecoming King and Queen. The crowning of King Ryan Hill and Queen Teresa Burt was performed by the 1983 King and Queen, Mark Robinson and Kim Arthur. Other can- didates were Kelley Rosenquist and Andy Hamilton, Tamara Lee and Tom Castillo, Missy Schieberl and Dan Beatty, Kim Payne and Scott Shaw. Following the game was the home- coming dance sponsored by the senior class. Breaking precedent this year the dance was casual, although many people still dressed formally. Mr. Baughman gave Ryan Hill the homecom- ing football.

■e're up before the birds Cause if we're not we'll be late To start learning new words and having uur debates. Why can't it be like last year?? An extra hour for relaxing? The teachers say Have no fear, you will pass this year. I guess we have to accept the fact Even if some of us are in a daze, A little sleep we all may lack, We'll just have to accept these new ways. There has been a noticeable change in the start of the 1984-85 school year. It is the extended school day. This is not the first time that we have had a six hour day. Back in 1962 through 1974-75 we had six hours of school a day. Then from 1976 to 1983 we went back down to five hours a day of school. Now we're back to the six hours of school a day. In June the registered voters of this community had the chance to vote on the proposal of the extended school day, which passed nearly 3 to 1. At the high school level the students now have 57 minute classes, a 35 minute lunch hour and 3 minutes between class- es.
