Planning makes action pay off The Agora featured diverse items such as See's suckers, popcorn and stationery, giving organizations the chance to raise money. The bike race, on Wednesday, covered grueling ter- rain and distance. Most cyclists were exhausted and a few made wrong turns, but eventually all made it back to the school, with Tim Rhodes vic- torious. Thursday, toga fashions were displayed at lunches, and styles ranged from the traditional to fig- leaf, see-through to armor. In the evening, students and teachers thronged to the feast and savored a Greek meal with shishkabobs and Greek pastries. The mouth-watering aroma of the food and the music of alumnus Mike Chappel eased the irri- tation of long lines. Looking beyond the good food of the feast, most of the crowd awaited the coming pep rally and torch run. People flocked to the football field and watched the torch wind down Mt. Olympus. Emotional screams pierced the air when the lights on the moun- tain flickered from an L to the de- sired O . Anticipation mounted as runners carried the torch down the mountain, and peaked as the flame reached the outskirts of the school. The student body president carried the torch under the goalpost and up to the ceremonial bowl where Dr. Larsen joined him. Victory cries rose again, slowly at first, then hysterically, and continued until crowds trailed away to prepare for the game on Friday. COUNTERCLOCKWISE: Pep Club defeated WAA in the Powder Puff Game Oly's marching hand performes at haltfime.

Friday, Toga Day, began with the Alumni Assembley. Cheerleaders and student body officers from previous years entertained with skits ranging from a parody of recent news to in- terpretations of magic shows and weekend dates. Students wore many variations of Togas on Friday. The HI-TIs offered custom made togas, but most students designed their own. Ethereal Dimensions, the homecom- ing dance, highlighted and closed the week. Crossroads” provided music while hoards of people tried to dance in the limited space of the cafeteria. This year's decor avoided the tradi- tional ivy, grapes, and Ancient Greece motif and leaned toward the ultra- modern with metallic walls and foun- tain, and tiny flashing lights. is
