o eCo uKQ L ooking down the hall, I caught sight of beach balls, inner- tubes, sunglasses, and many cold people. Beach Day marked the beginning of Spirit Week. Al¬ though the temperature dropped below 40, it didn’t put a damper on the fun. Roman Day followed, and proved to be equally as interesting. Students in togas armed with swords emerged from the hall¬ ways. Outrageous Day and Prep versus Punk Day brought on more curiously dressed students. The week ended with Blue and Gray Day and an exciting pep rally. The Varsity Club produced Miss War¬ ren County Pageant, class spon¬ sors entertained us all with a lico¬ rice chewing contest, while the cheerleaders kept the classes cheering. The rally ended with the enthusiastic sophomore class be¬ ing presented the spirit stick. Later that night, the annual bonfire was held. This year, the wood caught fire quickly and provided a large blaze for a great fire. The band played and the cheerleaders cheered while an overwhelming amount of spirit was showed by the large number of spectators who came out to enjoy the fun. But it wasn’t over yet! The next after¬ noon was the traditional parade through Olde Towne Manassas. Floats, following the theme of “The Movies”, were constructed by all classes and then made their way to the football field. Along with the floats, were Homecoming Queen candidates Jenny Laird, Jacqueline Hodge, Lynne Carlton, and Shreve Orndorff. The junior court included Tia Egidi and Court¬ ney White. Angie McGuire, and Lisa Posey were elected to the sophomore court, while freshmen court consisted of Linda Orndorff and Nikki Whittaker. At halftime, the junior class was awarded first place for the best float and Shreve Orndorff was chosen as the 1986 Homecoming Queen. The game ended with a 19-0 score, putting the Eagles over the Warren Coun¬ ty Wildcats. To end a great home¬ coming week, the semi-formal dance was held Saturday night in the cafeteria. Refreshments were supplied by the Home Economics department. Many commented on the spirit and unity showed by all classes and students during Spirit Week. “I will look back to the 1986-87 Homecoming at Osbourn High School as being one of the most special memories, for there was more laughter, more spirit, and more happiness than in all of my years in school combined.” said Shreve Orndorff, senior class president.

erlin took our breath away in the song that swept the nation this summer. The Boss came out with a five-record album that has al¬ ready sold millions. Hey, hey it’s the Monkees. Yes, the Monkees are back producing and directing their new TV show. Many other groups and songs are doing a big turnaround and are coming back into stardom. To name a few, there are the Beach Boys, and a number of the Beatles’s songs are topping the charts again. It seems as though history is repeating itself is the name of the game to top 40 Listeners. Corey Hart even got in on the action doing Elvis’s “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You”. Even though hard rock and pop are two different styles, Bon Jovi, Cinderella and Van Halen have been making their way straight for the top 40 in both works. Bon Jovi has won the hearts of many pop listeners with ‘‘You Give Love a Bad Name”. Cinderella has done the same with “Shake me.’’ “Dreams” is Van Halen’s most popular song. The many styles and tastes of music at Osbourn show the many personalities of the people. Music is a big part of a teenager’s life — something to soothe your emo¬ tions, solve your problems, or pick you up for the weekend. Music has been around since as long ago as anyone can remember, and it will always be here to enjoy.
