A LOOK AROUND Was it really 1986? After a look around campus, a person might have thought time had gone backwards. Flapper skirts of the twenties to paisley prints of the sixties were visible. Students kept glancing over their shoulders for Michael J. Fox. Eddie Haskell look-alikes could be seen carrying Madonna-wanna-be's' books. Anyone looking at the parking lots would have thought they were quiet and boring. Not so. The rock was often being repainted blue and white, replacing the helpfulness of rivals. Music students and parents could be seen heaving bundles of newspapers into the filling truck and washing cars in out-of-season attire. After school, buses formed a wall between exhausted stu- dents, waiting pals, and parents. Drivers who converted it into angular parking were confronted with little red stickers from Mr. Maguire's patrol. Good morning everyone! lt's a Fri . . . Oh, I guess it is just Thursday. Ho-him, another day. Any persons who had never listened to announcements before might have heard these statements and thought they had walked into the morning zoo of KQ92. Mark Carlson, a part-time deejay, took over the morning announcing and lightened up each day's beginning. Students believed things changed throughout the year, but a look back in time revealed history was re- peating itself.

Revisiting their childhood Kathy Hanson and Jennifer Neal carry their dolls for security. Showing Our Spirit Spirit Week-that one stimulating week when students and teachers dressed in clothes they never imagined get- ting into, let alone being seen in public! On Monday of Homecoming week, students walked the halls dressed as though they should have been at Disney- land, cameras hanging from their necks and shades pro- tecting their eyes from the Washington sun. Apparently, Oly had made it as one of the world's favorite vacation spots! Tuesday, the whole tenor of campus changed: sen- ior citizens took over. Friends looked 50 years older. Ju- nior Jesse Yao went to the extreme of learning to knit, giving him something to do while he sat in his wheelchair. By Wednesday, peace and brotherly love over took the campus. Hippies and beatniks joined together at break for a Peace Walk. Teddy bears and Cabbage Patch dolls came to school on Thursday when students reverted back to their elementary school days. Even math teacher Merle Nelson arrived at school, looking ready for a day of kinder- garten. Dressed by mother, Nelson had his personalized lunch money envelope pinned to his shirt. Friday was the traditional blue and white day, some students even paint- ed their faces to show their spirit. For those who decided to join in the fun, another spirit- ed Homecoming week was a success. i Qh. Chief Big Bear proudly displays his loincloth
