Each day was assigned a dif- ferent theme, such as dress-up day, college day, and mix-and- match day. David Belmonte re- marked, l was dressing up be- cause l hoped others would follow my example. Spirit links, sold by the SCA, were a means of repre- senting class spirit. The National Honor Society chose to get involved in the home- coming festivities by selling the traditional mums and carnations. Scott Layman, president, de- clared, The mums sold better than we expected, Joretta Beck, who received flowers, said, I was so shocked to get two flowers. The aspect of homecoming which required the most spirit and dedication was the decorations. Many chose to decorate for the assembly and the dance. Others, such as Juanita Venable, helped with both the senior float and as- sembly decorations. Juanita re- flected, Working on the float was a lot of fun. So was riding on it.

Michelle Anaya added, I didn't care if we won first place, just so we showed our spirit . . . but l'm glad we won. Enthusiasm was carried from the homecoming parade to the football game. Pulling together was the key to keeping the Hampton Crabbers from dominating the game, which resulted in a final score of 3 - 14. Watching the game, Luisa Naz- zaro observed, Despite the loss of our star quarterback, Kwamie Lassiter, we were able to pull to- gether and keep them from get- ting too far ahead of us. Junior Mark Romero, the first person in seven years to score against Hampton, recollected, l'When they called me on the field, l knew it was up to me to help the team. l wanted to help the team as much as I could.
