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

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

ONCE UPON A TIME Jenny Reigns Over Homecoming The festivities were as big as ever this year as Queen Jenny Medak reigned over Homecoming. The court introduction assembly was a side-splitter with the search for the secret formula X . Superheroes from comic books of all sizes came to help the good Dr.Eurlow find the stolen formula. Of course there's a catch, they wanted some girls in return for their work. Thankfully, that wasn't too hard and the 1987 Homecoming court was announced. This was just the beginning of the week and the activities switched into high-gear once the sign painting and float building contests were under way. Many students know how much work these projects can be, and for some, this work payed off. The juniors took first place in the sign painting contest and the seniors won the float competition. In addition to the floats and signs there were dress-up days and of course the football game. Our team put up quite a fight but they couldn't stop the Caviliers from winning. We did, however, score a victory in angering the Clackamas team by using one of their jerseys on the senior float. Saturday night hosted the last event of the week, the Homecoming dance. Many put on their nicest outfit and headed towards town for an enchanting evening of fine dining and dancing; at 11:45 the dance ended but the memories remained. Princesses Nicole and Tallie enjoy the ride in a Camaro driven by senior Chris Bittner.
