Gayle Monroe, junior, said, I think the students like the idea of having a traditional dance, such as Barnwarming. FFA members have kept it the same each year for that reason. Entry through the tunnel proved difficult for some. Andy Helmig, freshman, said, I didn't like going through the tunnel because I got lost and had to push my way through the side bales. I didn't know which way to go, so I just sat there for a while, said Linda Hutchison, junior.

A rather small crowd watched as retiring Queen, Stacie Lock, crowned Francine Voss, senior, Barnwarming Queen. Francine was escorted by B. J. Kramer, senior. A damper was placed on the evening when it was learned that toilet paper dispensers had been torn from the wall from the boy's restroom. FFA Advisor, Mr. Mike Shafer, was well-pleased with the dance overall but said, I wasn't too pleased with the vandalism that took place. Activities! I5 ,.,... ,,.,,, - ff., - .V - g i-V .. ' ., ..

Bonfire adds As the painted banner of a Eugene Eagle burned, students watched and cheered on a new ad- dition to Homecoming's spirit week - a bonfire. The night before the homecoming game the piles of wood burned brightly in the field- house parking lot, not only keeping people warm but also aiding them in roasting a few marshmallows. I wish more people would have taken an interest in the bonfire but if they continue the event, more people will get involved, said Char- ly Earley, senior. Another addition to spirit week was Dress Like Your Favorite Food Day, which also proved to be the least popular. l had a lot of fun Taking a break from the dance, Doug Luebbert and Paula Moeller talk to B.

This was the second court Francine had reigned over, having been crowned Barnwarming queen in October. l got really nervous when I found out we had to do our routine almost an hour early because the retiring queen was late for coronation, said cheerleader Tammy Robinson. She with her pom pons joined the other cheerleaders on the floor to the music of Dare Me. The dance, with the theme Cherish the Love, followed an overtime loss of 51-47 to Eugene. trfek VL.. S X NR ,
