o n November 24, a Tuesday afternoon, the Juniors turned the 1st place B-Wing into a scene from Star Wars with tools like tinfoil, construction paper and streamers. Meanwhile, the Seniors strung lights and stuck tape to the floor: We are the great '88. The Sophomores and Freshmen also put hours of ef- fort into their hallways. While tape and materials flew around, the Student Council decorated the cafeteria for a 7:30 pm dance, and S.A.D.D. decorated the lobby for their as- sembly the following day. Things were definitely in the works for a homecoming cele- bration to remember! Welcome to the Future 24 Animation Court: M. Plant, S. Lofaro. H. Wathington, K. Knight (escort). J. McLaughlin. J.

Eric Bellamy and Erika Lour possibly discussing future plans. Todd Lubeck turns down the music to create a romantic mood. Arc your parents the kind who en- joy surprising you? It's four o'clock in the morning. You’re approaching your house after an intense evening of . . . nh . . . social awareness exercises. Yon insert the key in the door pushing it open. It creaks just a bit, and you wait, breathless, in the doorway. No sound. Closing the door behind you and entering tnc hallway, you step on a loose tile. Clatter! Motionless again, you wait for signs of wakeful parents. Nothing. Tiptoeing up the stairs, a step creaks softly and you continue on your long journey. You walk across the great expanse of the upstairs hallway, your hand is on the doorknob to your room, as you breath a sigh of relief. THEN!! The lights go on and a monster-like creature emerges from the master bedroom with green cream on its face, curlers in its hair and an accusing phrase issuing from its lips; What ao yon think you're doing, coming home at four o'clock in the morning??!! Of course, there are also the ex- perimental type. The ones who open the door just as you walk up to it and realize that you have no key. It is 4:30 A.M now three o'clock in the morning. Your mother and I are asleep. We're going to try a little experiment now to see now you plan on getting in the house without a key. Or maybe your parents are the worried tvpe — sitting up on an all- night vigil. You enter the house and find a frantic, shaking creature telling you all the different things that could possibly have happened to you that evening. There are a select few who have parents who sleep through it all. The next morning, Oh. you just got in? That's nice'. Did you have a good time? Whatever your circumstances, whether it be a long grounding from your parents or talking around like a zombie for the next week, the general opinion on staying out late is that it is a choice worth more than the conse- quences. by: Orly Mishan John O'Shay had better get Barbara Wise home on time.

Homecoming Huskies Carve the Rockets r epresentatives from Haritan admire our hallways on the 25th as they mention some major fear for the homecoming game on Thursday. You guys are our rivals, just like St. Johns is yours. But about tomorrow. . . I doubt we will win, Student Council Pres. Raritan Rockets That’s the way it goes, Rockets. We tramped the Rockets with a final score of 19 to 6. Halftime honored the homecoming court and awarded Judie Adamski — Homecom- ing Queen, and Jamie Caeta — Homecom- ing King. The band gave their Senior Salute, and Boats rounded the track. In the stands we greeted alumni with Hi! how’s school? (meaning college). After the victory, we went home to a wel- comed Thanksgiving Day dinner. Sophomores (upper left) wreck the rockets in a pickup driven by Iris Mehlmans dad. Congratulations Judie and Jamie! Mr. Post hands roses to the queen. DECA smokes the rockets with a smoke machine operated by Buddy Kustka. Homecoming 25
