12 VALHALLA Getting a grip. Bryant Sturz, with his levitated Levi's shirt and painted face and stomach, prepares to take a shot at the target in the dunking booth. Ioining heads. Sophomore team members huddle-up to make plans for their next play in hopes of outsmarting their senior opponents. The thrill of ictor ! Plans and practices began weeks in advance for our traditional Valhalla. Dates were set, times were chosen, and football and cheerleading practices began. Girls started practices as early as September, prac- ticing two and three times a week. Positions were assigned and plays were learned, each class hoping to come out vic- torious. As odd as it may seem, the boys practiced their jumps, jiggles and claps in preparation for the night to come. Clubs spent hours building floats. Of the many that entered, Art Club emerg- ed victorious with its float depicting a fire-breathing dragon. New this year, student government sponsored a dunking booth. With various teachers in the booth, students had a chance to get back at teachers whom they held grudges against. Days before the game, morning announcements in- cluded class rivalry and speculation as to which class would win. Thursday at eight o'clock the playing began, the first game being between the freshmen and juniors. After fifteen minutes of play the freshmen emerged vic- torious. Next, the sophomores and seniors bat- tled one another, which led to a senior defeat. After these preliminary games, time was taken for the cheerleading competition. With painted faces and blown-up figures each class did their routine. Because of their creativity the senior cheerleaders won this title. Now it was time for the championship game. The sophomores and the freshmen, both hoping to be two-time winners and the Valhalla champs, played a tough battle. In the end, the sophomores proved themselves champs, defeating the freshmen 18-6. Feminine freshmen? Make-up and balloons are all it takes to give freshman cheerleaders the qualities necessary to cheer their players on.

Laura and Iohnny are just two of the twenty-six to be escorted about the field. All-around favorite. After being' chosen king, Selwyn Brown can easily be called a favorite among seniors and underclassmen alike. 14 HOMECOMING COURT Being chosen a member of the Homecoming Court was agreed by all court members to be an honor. It makes everything more worthwhile to think that my peers would select me to represent them, said Christee Garrett. Seniors voted in homeroom for five male and female court members. The ten guys and girls with the most votes were the lucky ones. Iuniors, sophomores and freshmen voted for one male and one female that The chosen few they hoped would represent them as princes and princesses. After the twenty senior court members had been chosen, the seniors faced an even harder decision. They had to choose one king and one queen. Seniors had a chance to familiarize themselves with the court at a pep assembly held the morn- ing of our Homecoming when we were told a little about each member. Seniors voted during their lunch, and then all that could be done was wait. The long awaited announcement was made during halftimeg Tracy Stuebs was chosen our queen. Later, at the Homecoming Dance, Selwyn Brown was crowned king. The choices were indeed good ones, both Tracy and Selwyn being friendly, well- liked people, involved in various school-related activities. l K. I 4 i
