ONCE UPON A TIME A SENIOR VICTORY AT LAST With a frenzy of activity, the Homecoming parade was off to a high-spirited start. Many tedious hours of hard work and egg-dodging went into the floats this year. Freshmen, although new to the event, performed quite admirably with a float that looked as though they were old pros. Sophomores produced a float of their own, depicting the soon-to-be-experienced plight of the Cavaliers. The juniors, many agreed, had t.te funniest float with a Laker sea serpent devouring an unfortunate Clackamas football player. The senior float, a purple Volkswagon Bug transformed into a one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple Clackamas Cavalier eater, was featured as the winning float. Seniors finally got the long awaited chance to rejoice over their first major victory in the float building event. The parade route brought the floats, as well as the band and first mates, through downtown Lake Oswego. All parade participants congregated at the top of A avenue the proceeded to the end of A , turned on to B , returned to Country Club road, and then finally back to the school. The class floats were followed by the Rally and then the club and committee floats, such as the NAJ and Safe Ride cars. Next were the marching band, and the first mates. Princesses followed, waving from T-top 1988 Cameros driven by certain lucky seniors that had an enjoyable time returning the cars to the dealer, Syd Dorn, in NE Portland. Many were there to experience the festivities, and it was fun for all. The Lake Oswego police served as escorts to the floats, and were extremely helpful in organizing the whole procession and making it a success. Children watched as the floats paraded by, giving them something to look forward to, and no doubt it stuck in their minds. Lisa Jackson expertly twirls her flag while marching in the parade. Lisa is the Flag Corps captain this year. 'Once Upon a Time, there was a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater back in the days when the colors of L.O. were purple and white. It came through time to help the class of 1988 crunch the Cavaliers.” This was the inscription written on the winning senior float. Although it didn't quite help us defeat the Cavs, it did help to make them a little angry as one of the Clackamas players stole their jersey back after the game. 12 Student Life

WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL? Jeff Miller: It was a lot of fun, but the seniors seemed old and Dr. Ingle seemed mean. Meg Irvine: All of the different people made it confusing and scary at the same time, but I was having so much fun that I didn't even think about itl Molly Zindel Karen Kelley, Nicole Waldram, Meg Irvine, and Erin Mulqueeny try to figure out how Angie Lawson could have possibly been injured so early in the season. School's much better as long as sophomore buddies Chris Rakozy, Jeff Mount, Adam Moore, Byron Wyatt, and Chris Robinson are hanging around together. On the night before the first day of school, Pete Sepenuk winds up. and with a battle cry, hurls his roll toward the traditional tree while Greg Bean gracefully demonstrates his sense of balance. Sheila Cullen introduces exchange students Okko Muller. Rafael Gaeta. and Andreas Carlsson to the international club, as Brian Daly offers his help. FOREIGN EXCHANGE Every year, through an international exchange program, students from around the world decide to spend a year with us in Lake Oswego. These students have taken some English classes, and have become interested in our culture. Through their visit here, LO students are opened up to other cultures and also learn about their own through the eyes of a foreigner. These students are Robert Diaz, Eve Berens, Okko Muller, Naoko Hashimoto, Andreas Carlsson, Yutako Dozono, Hideko Ku-shida, Ayako Kawato, Hernan Herrera, and Rafael Gaeta. We want to thank all of these students for spending this time with us. Back To School 11

Coach Cecil Fellas gives defensive lineman guard Scott Livesay a few last minute pointers before Scott returns to the field. The sophomore float didn't quite measure up to senior standards, but they have two more years to perfect their floatbuilding abilities. Ryan Murr takes a ride in the NAJ float even though he's not a member. It seems as though president John Raymond invited anyone to jump on this influential, yet little undestood club's float. A New Tradition? It was Homecoming week; Swift Mart and Thriftway were devoid of eggs as the junior and senior classes prepared for the upcoming battle. Twice the juniors moved their float to a different house, and twice the senior slueths discovered its location. Craig Peebles' and Eric Bowen's households will long remember the experience of dodging the barrage of eggs (compliments of the seniors) and having to clean up the mess. Because property was damaged the ever present L.O. police force finally put a halt to the destructive activities. Many wondered if egg fights would become a new tradition at LOHS. Senior Bill Gross remarked, Eggs aren't just for breakfast anymore. THE WEAPONS Homecoming 13
