Malloque and school counselor Jack Edens school year. ENJOYING THE FREE TIME before the bell rings, students discuss their summer activities. and her royal court watch the Homecoming football game from their float made by all classes. i4s School Floats On Royalty Nears Practice began in August for foot- ball and volleyball teams so that play- ers could get in shape and prepare for the first games of the season. Class registration along with teacher orien- tation was held in August. The first day of school opened with many disappointed students because summer fun had to come to an end. Teachers were pleasantly surprised to find apples with cards welcoming them back to school. Two years without floats during the Homecoming festivities left many people feeling there was something missing. Student Council voted to partially revive the tradition by hav- ing all four classes build one float to- gether. The float was used to parade the queen and attendants around the field. Events making headlines were Rus- sian ballet dancer, Aleksandr Gudon- ov’s defection to the United States, Hurricane David and Hurricane Fred- erick struck the Eastern coast of the U.S., and Soviet troops were discov- ered in Cuba. Movies shown at the Morenci The- atre were Alien and The Love Bug Rides Again. 5
