Pride is flying high Student Life As the first day of school in late August melted into the days off for snow and teacher ' s conferences, the lives of many people were altered. Now that games were an added pleasure for Friday and Saturday nights, weekends were no longer the time for revisiting the lake cottages but to stay home and be with friends. Beginning school was different for everyone. For some, it meant the end of two-a-day practices, the air-conditioned relief from the heat, and a totally new experience of being lost, especially for the Frosh. The first day showed to everybody what kind of pride the school had in its people and activities. The school year bore on for many, but students found ways to amuse themselves on weekends. Since homework was not part of most people ' s schedules, parties, tee-peeing, wasting money at ar- cades or movies, and hitting athletic events became part of most everyone ' s life. No matter what we did, we always expressed our pride in our school and teams. When school drew to the heart-breaking, but relieving, end, 193 seniors marched through the doors of New Haven High School for the last time as students. Though some felt glad, the seniors real- ized that the days of being a Bulldog student ended but the PRIDE OF BEING A BULLDOG continued to FLY HIGH. CLEANING UP TOILET paper meant work for some but satisfac- tion of doing it for others. Student Life Divider — 9

The Festivity Homecoming and spirit week started out with a bang as students and staff dressed in western duds and carried toy guns to blast away the Eagles. On Tues- day, letter sweaters, full skirts, bobbie socks, and saddle shoes were seen on the girls while guys slicked back their hair and pulled on Levi ' s and black leather jackets. Almost 100 percent participation oc- curred on Wednesday, dress-up day, with Thursday (sweats day) running a close second. Powder Puff players suited up in jerseys and sweats to show their support for their classes and team. The Powder Puff game took place on Thursday night. During the first half, Kim Vachon scored on a 83-yard touch- down run for the Juniors and Freshmen. The Seniors and Sophomores also scored a TD, but it was not counted because of a penalty. During the second half, the Seniors and Sophomores came alive. Senior Pat- ty Weekly ran across the line for six points. Barb Hoar, Junior, attempted to score again for the Juniors and Frosh, but due to more penalties her touchdown was called back. Senior Kris Swenson wrapped things up for ' 84 and ' 86 when she pushed her way through the Junior and Freshmen defense to score the winning touchdown, making the final score of the game 12 to 8. As sophomore announcer Bob Treat remarked, It was a far-out game; excit- ing to the last minute. The community pep session wrapped up an exciting Thursday. Student Coun- cil President, Joel Reed, began the fes- tivities by calling Julie Sweet, co-chair- man of the Powder-Puff committee, to the microphone. She presented the pow- der puffs to the Senior Sophomore class presidents, Mark Shaffer and James Ball. Members of the winning team chanted Eighty-four and eighty-six! during the presentation. SENIOR MEMBERS OF the football team told the crowd at the community pep ses- sion just how badly the Bulldogs are going to beat the Eagles. CARRYING THE SOPHOMORE banner are Christy Levy and Lori Dager. The ban- ner came in third place. 3ggfk ■ % J fi WALKING DOWN THE 50-yard line at halftime on Friday, is 1983 ' s Homecoming Queen Cyndi Romine and Drew Bates. 10 — Homecoming
