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.

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 .. ' ., ..
