ACTING AS THE HUNTER IN THE DRILL TEAM'S SKIT TO “KILLY BYRD,” Holly Melhorn prepares to kill her prey. osama — GROWING ... The question students posed as home- coming week began was “What does THAT mean?” The that referred to the theme of the week, “Nights in White Satin.” Imagina- tions were put to the task of coming up with just the appropriate way to illustrate the theme. Another issue, the reinstatement of pep rallies came as a welcome relief to a long period of having no place to show off school spirit. The news of the rally to be held on Friday lent an air of anticipation. The week continued the tradition of spirit days organized by the cheerleaders. Tues- day was classified as dress-up day, and Wednesday was designated “role reversal” day. Thursday was hat, button, and college t-shirt day, and finally the week ended with the ever popular blue and gold day. The annual powderpuff game and bonfire were held on Wednesday night. Because the senior girls had lost the previous year’s game and the juniors girls had never played in a powderpuff game, the outcome was not an easy one to predict. However, the in- tense rivalry between the classes was heightened with the seniors’ “eat ‘em and smile’? defense campaign. This proved to be the key factor in their 8-6 victory over the juniors.
