Winter Sports Week relieves mid-winter blues February 11th through the 16th was marked as Winter Sports Homecoming week. During this time there were several traditional events which occurred. Each day a sport was represented with an Oiler of the Day, starting with basketball on Monday. Tuesday, everyone was blinded with colors such as hot pink, orange, yellow, and green worn for fluorescent day. Valentine's Day gave our eyes no rest with all shades of red and pink. This year the seniors tried something new. Send a Lolly proved to be a big success. For just 25c a lollipop containing one of four messages could be sent to your favorite person. Valentine's cards were also sold. A pep rally was held on Friday, which was blue and white day, to introduce members of the Winter Sports court. Because of a tie in voting, the court consisted of 7 girls instead of 5 as in the past years. Crowning of the queen, Robin Emanuele, was conducted Saturday night at the formal dance sponsored by the Senior Class.

Christmas dance benefits Toys for Tots Santa's Workshop was the theme of the annual Christmas dance. This event is junior sponsored, and this year the class of '86 achieved a profit for people other than themselves. Community Services of Venango County received approximately 100 toys for their Toys for Tots campaign. Each person attending the dance was asked to bring a toy, in good condition, to make Christmas joyful for a needy child. It is hoped that this will become an annual request. The Christmas court is the one where the men are recognized, and this year Steve Anderton was selected king along with Kim Rice as queen. The rest of the court included: juniors, Mike Jolley and Susan Stephens; sophomores, Tony Bu-cholz and Missy DeAngelis; freshmen, Mike Tighe and Jennifer Kibbe. The dance was very classy . Everyone dressed in their most festive and stylish outfits. The decorations were simple, but very appropriate. Santa's Workshop was set up with toys every child wishes for, and lighted trees were placed in the center of the dance floor. The effect, with Santa Claus included, was very festive and cosy.
