A Change in Pace Charges Bruin Spirit Time was ripe for some excite- ment as Homecoming approached. Student Council sponsored the unusual week which began with LICK ' EM DAY. Cheerleaders sold ex- otic flavored lollipops while students wore shades, sweats and ban- danas. Voting for the Homecoming queen and her court started as well as voting for Mr. Irresistible (at five cents per vote). Tuesday recreated past times as students dressed to commemorate FIFTIES DAY. The play-off in powder- puff football pitted the Juniors against the Freshmen and the Sen- iors against the Sophomores. Many students appeared as Nerds on Wednesday. Thursday was a time to hurry as many events took place. Athletes and non-athletes alike dressed as participants in their favorite sport. Change was evident Thursday night as the Seniors were not play- ing in the traditional powder-puff football game. Juniors and Sopho- mores shared the field for the final match up. The Junior players pulled together to defeat the Sopho- mores. A new day was inaugurated on Friday: ORANGE BEACH DAY. Stu- dents displayed spirit by wearing Hawaiian-style clothing and meet- ing for a beach party before school in the commons. Students hung signs on the doors and set up lawn chairs, while tossing a big, colorful beach ball around the school. Roxanne Green, junior, carries the ball during a powderpuff game. Oops!
