EELI GOOD The evening was chilly on October 16, but the crowd in the stands at Stutler Bowl was hot and spirited. The spirit of over 30 students was aroused at a pre- game activity organized by J r. Lisa Hardin to decorate cars before the game. The activity was to get people in- volved and promote school spirit, said Lisa. Before the game the cross country team carried the torch from school to Stutler where the stands were packed with fans decked out in green and blue. A blaze of green and blue balloons could be seen as the Homecoming game against Mullen began. At the end of the first half, Mullen led Overland 10-0. At half time, Homecoming Queen was an- nounced. The nominees were Becky Beougher, Michelle Dveirin, Tracy Newberg, and Katie Ramsdale. Michelle Dveirin was announced Homecoming Queen. Michelle, a cheerleader, quoted one of their cheers by saying, I feel good, oh, I feel so good! Mullen scored two more touchdowns in the second half to defeat Overland 31-0. Al- though this loss did affect some people, others still remained in high spirits. Sr. Janna Garza Paul Saemm Copy-i Miclzl1eMnxcuandBeuyTnuti Lay t: CamlKim said, I don't think our loss affected the stu- dents, everyone was still spirited. Many alumni also returned for Homecom- ing. Said alumni Dave Reeb, I'm really glad to be back because it's great to see everybody again. I really feel welcome. Although the football team lost, the best of times was still had at the dance the next day. The theme 'The Best of Times by Styx was chosen by student council who chose the col- ors pink, navy, and clear. At 8:00, Saturday night, with the dining hall decorated with bal- loons galore, the cafeteria atmosphere was replaced by one of romance and excitement. Not all decided to go with a date. A big ole' group of us are going stag, said Sr. Shane Patrick on Friday. At 10:30, the rest of the royalty was an- nounced. Evan Husney was crowned King and Jrs. T.J.

the time away from their work. Ahh...spare time! What was there to do? Take in a movie? Work? Go downtown? Activities outside of school were mainly of this sort. How often did students get a chance to go out and do something that had to do with the community? What did students do? During the season, when I had the money, I liked going skiing a few times a month, but if I didn't have the money, I would go to a 31.50 movie at Buckingham Square, said Jr. Bill Evert. A poll of 400 students reflected that movies were preferred four times as much as going downtown. There were also those Sill- dents who managed their time between school, sports, and community activities. Sr. Kevin Shive said, I played soccer for the school and for a team outside of school. I only went downtown when there was something going on like Octoberfest, but there was hardly ever anything like that down there. Other than that, I went to a few movies, but it was too expen- sive to go very often. Some students spent much of their time working. Nine percent, of the students polled worked during their spare time. Since few freshmen or sophomores worked at all, most of those who juggled both jobs and school were upperclassmen. They not only worked in the community but spent their hard eamed money in the community when they could find Time away from work was often greeted with much happiness. With both school and work, some found it hard to juggle their time. Fr. Amy Czeczok said, I didn't really have enough time to do all the things I wanted to because of my homework during the week and my job on the weekends. When I did have spare time, I liked to spend a day away from normal things and go out with friends. Although homework and extra-curricular activities were a big part of students' time, most found time to get away and do something different like going to the mall. Fifty-six percent of the students polled went to Aurora Mall while only thirty-three percent went to Buckingham. Other malls referred to were the Tabor Center, Cinderella City, and Tamarac Square. Still others spent their free time volunteer- ing their services at local churches and hospi- tals. Sr. Jennifer McQuaid said, lt means a great deal to me to be able to volunteer at my church because I care so much about it. Yes, there was life beyond the school zone. Although many students asked, What is there to do?, there was always an answer. Whether it was working or going to a movie, students often found time to spare and ways to spend their spare time. LoriRnece olunteering at Humana Hospital is one way Sr. Andy Mills fills her free time. Working was a popular way to spend free time, whether it as a volunteer or for extra money. 3j Z 'g5E:ZgEg5'C-5I'Z'Z3Z3 '5'3'5' 4Q3F13Z'Z-2'51'F 9Y5f3 . . . . t.. . . . . . . . . . . . tt. . . . . . ... as... ......,.'.f,-4.: .:.y.-f.f.-.-.:. .
