Hey all you Are you ready CC wist and Shout! sang Sr. Rob Cohen, and the school sang along with him. The annual Homecoming pep assembly was held Friday, September 26. It really reflected a lot of the spirit of Overland's students, said Sr. Cindy Galloway. Fr. Cary Johnson added, The pep assembly gave the lowerclassmen a chance to laugh at the seniorsf, In the assembly were games which in- volved students from each class. In the spir- it of true competition, the classes fought for the thrill of victory. The first event involved Blazers . W i gt 6 ho at I1- four girls from each class who had the hu- miliating task of burping as loud as they could. The next event involved the skills of big wheel riding, hula hooping, and wheel- barrel racing. Soph. Mike Biltimier ex- claimed in frustration, Guys can't hula hoop, it's just impossible! The final event to determine the winning class was a pie eating contest. Although the juniors won most of the class competitions, the seniors declared themselves the winners. Following the pep assembly was the Homecoming parade. It was the cause of some major headaches. Sophomore Class President Alex Armatas said, On the way to Overland, while we were driving, the float blew over in the middle of Havana. In the competition for the best float, the class of '88 was victorious for the second year in a row. To conclude the dayls events, a barbeque and bonfire were held that night. Sr. Scott Gary, who was in charge of the bonfire, said, Although it was a little unorganized, there was a pretty big crowd. l only wish the bonfire would have stayed lit longer. Soph. Heather Eversley summed up Fri- day best when she said, The day's events showed just how much spirit our school had! ANYBODY HUNGRY? Soph. Greg Margolin docsn't have a choice as Soph.

Coming home To take it multitude of blue and green balloons filled the sky as the Homecoming football game began on the sunny afternoon of September 27. That morning before the start of the game, the seniors of the cross country team ran the traditional Homecoming torch from Overland to Stutler Bowl and finished with a lap around the traekjust as the game began.

It was also a good way for the seniors to end their seasonf, said Sr. Kristina Jones. The Blazer football team dominated the Boulder Panthers throughout the first half of the game, leaving the score 21-0 at half- time. The crowd showed their appreciation as students and parents alike cheered on the team. The halftime entertainment was pro- vided by the Overland Marching Scots who were led by drum majors Jrs.
