The Homecoming As- sembly started off the day, when the cheerleaders cheered, pommies danced and the Homecoming atten- dants were introduced. But by the time class competition rolled around tradition was changed. Instead of the indi- vidual class competition, the old teachers competed against the new. Called the spoon pass, the competition consisted of a spoon tied to the end of a rope. It was threaded in and out of the teachers' pants. The first group of teachers to be bound, then unbound, were the winners. The new teachers - Judy Wallace, George Tihanyi, Thad Decker and Kathy Grey - won the contest.

W Dear jack, I'm just writing to tell you what a great time I had at the Homecoming dance with you. I have to admit, I was pretty nervous about it five minutes before you picked me up, but after my mom spent twenty minutes taking pictures I was a little more relaxed. Dinner was great. I just loved the Monterey Whal- ing Company and I had no idea that so many couples would be there from our school. How did you know that seafood was my favor- ite? You made the dance real- ly fun for me with your ter- rific attitude. Even though you hate dancing to fast songs, you did anyways be- cause you knew I liked to. Waiting in the never-end- ing picture line was worth it. Every time I look at our pic- ture, I can't quit thinking about the fun we had. After the dance when we went to Swensen's, I was still stuffed from dinner, but you didn't seem to mind finish- ing up my hot fudge sundae for me. We sat there and talked for the longest time before we realized how late it was and had to leave. I could not believe that 1 a.m. had come so soon. I remember how cold it was when you were walking me to my door and I wished the night didn't have to end. I'm glad that I got to spend that special night with you. We magically made a high school dance turn into a wonderful memory that won't be forgotten soon by either of us. Love, Jin 5 Activities 26 Homecoming dance
