On Saturday, October 8, 1983, the Raider rooters en- joyed perfect football weather during the homecoming game. The game was highly contested as the first half went by without a score. In the third quarter the Raiders broke the goal line bar- rier when Pete Ross evaded a tackle and hit pay dirt. The Raider's offense added game- winning points in the fourth quarter as they beat Wausau West 12-8. At halftime, the band and pom-pon squad entertained, followed by the introduction of the homecoming court which rolled onto the field in golf carts. Winning the class competi- tion, the seniors took first place on their float; the juniors sec- ond, and sophomores third. That evening from 8:00- 12:00, 502 people attended the homecoming dance with music by New Image.

When the bell rings at 2:45, the sched- uled school day ends, but what goes on after school is just as important as classes are. Students find this time of the day the busiest part of their lives. Homework, jobs, sports, and club meetings become part of the daily rou- tine. This time allows students to par- ticipate in activities that they enjoy and which will instruct them in their specific interests. However, not all after school activi- ties are planned or have any purpose other than mischief, socializing, or fun. Decorating lockers, going to dances and games, and toilet papering houses, especially teachers' houses, are fondly familiar to most students. According to an anonymous TPer, ‘ Exterior decorat- ing has become a refined art for me and my friends. The challenge, excitement, and creepiness make our expeditions something to look forward to. These social gatherings give stu- dents something to look forward to and also give them an opportunity to bois- terously release tension built up by the end of the week. Whatever the activity, this life after 2:45 plays an important role in high school students' lives. What could happen next ?' Carol Broker thinks as she stares in awe at her newly decorated yard. Picking up evidence from the previous night's ac- tivities. she extracts toilet paper from her new dispenser. 14 Life After 2:45
