Homecoming: ' Dressing up ' for the occasion T he hustle and bustle of Homecoming kept all those involved busy. All through the week, stu¬ dents showed their spirit by dressing up to the specified “dress up day.’’ Monday, “Beach Day’’ enthralled all participants; a few were quickly awak¬ ened by a cool breeze on their bare legs. But students who dressed in colorful tank tops, Jams, sandals, and bathing suits quickly warmed by the school’s ex¬ ceptional heating system. Those surviving beach day moved on to “Outland¬ ish Day.” There were nerds, babies, hippies, and many more outlandish peo¬ ple. On Wednesday, many Romans roamed the halls with all different creations of togas. Following Roman Day was “Prep and Punk Day.’’ Pink and green outfits, colored hair spray, and sil¬ ver chains were just a few ornaments people adorned upon themselves. Friday brought about the customary blue and gray where the outfits ranged from sweatshirts to blue and gray painted faces. Amist the dress up and float building days came the traditional bonfire. Held on Thursday after the victo- rious girls’ basketball game, its flames swelled high and cast a warm glow over the otherwise chilling evening. Overall the bonfire provided an effective end¬ ing to the Homecoming Week. SHOWING HIS SCHOOL and class spirit during Homecoming Week is junior Ron Oliver as he dresses up for Punk and Prep Day. 18 Student Life Homecoming

' Nightmare On Tudor Lane 7 F ollowing the eventful spirit week, the Homecoming football game was played Friday night. Ironically living up to the Homecoming theme, “A Nightmare on Tudor Lane,” the Eagles, while battling with Park View, were stunned and battered. Mercilessly, Park View prevented the Eagles from making the victory. During halftime ceremo¬ nies, the Homcoming Queen was announced as well as the winners of the float competition and spirit cup. Out of a court of 22 nomi¬ nees, senior Tracy Dufrene was crowned Queen. She took her ride around the football field. The ju¬ niors won the float competi¬ tion, while the freshmen re¬ ceived the spirit cup. The following evening the dance was held in the com¬ mons area. After the dance, most people either went trick-or- treating (you’re never too old), attended private par¬ ties, or drove to the Hallow¬ een celebration in George¬ town. But for those unfortu¬ nate people who did not go the dance, Erol’s was open late to satisfy entertain¬ ment needs. TRYING TO WIN the tug-of-war for the juniors are Gerald Burke, David Fletcher, and Rene Szuswalak. DURING THE HOMECOMING parade, Amy Gustavus and Nikki Whittaker rode in a car representing the International Club and sophomore class. 20 Student Life Homecoming
