Diversity Even though the beginning of each school year is looked upon as a dreaded nine months, it usually doesn’t turn out that way. After get- ting into the “swing of things’’ it quickly goes by. Sometimes a stu- dent must turn towards other things such as athletics and their social life in order to overcome the pressures and headaches of academics. It would be quite boring if each day was exactly the same with each per- son getting up, going to school, at- tending each class, then leaving im- mediately at 3:00 p.m. Instead, students find themselves talking to classmates regularly, and usually these conversations don't even con- cern school at all. After putting in a hard day’s work, there is always enough time to go to the local hang- out before returning home. Each in- dividual uses his or her own method to make the situation of having to go to school better. AFTER school. Stacey Balch finds time to play video games at the General Store. No time to waste.

.. Hectic, but Funfilled Week ...” It was that time of year again, all the planning, decorating, and hard work was complete and at last, the job was done. No, it was not Christ- mas or even that time of year. It was homecoming week and even though it only lasted a short time, the events of homecoming 1987 are still with us. “Homecoming was a hectic, but funfilled week, stated Mrs. Jean Murks. It was complete with the nu- merous Spirit Days planned by the cheerleaders. Monday was Twin Day and students in groups dressed alike to show their enthusiasm. Tuesday was Gang Day and the school looked as though it had been overcome by punks and hoodlums. With rolled up sleeves, rolled up jeans, and even rollers in their hair, one could guess that on Wednesday it was Roll'Em Up Day. Thursday was Spirit Day with each individual class wearing one of the school's colors. At last, Friday was Bear Day, with students clinging to teddy bears brought from home. DOING her part, Jennifer Gulley helps stuff pomps on the class float. DURING Gang Day, Melissa Mason, Amy Smith, Robin Shelton, and Laura Stacey take time out to pose for the camera. 6 Homecoming
