All it takes is SPIRIT' Homecoming promotes participation, pride, and never-ending spirit by Lori Springer Aliens from Mars. Greek gods. Beauty queens. Sound like a strange combination? Maybe so, but it was this type of delightful mix that decorated the halls, shocked the teachers, and helped make Homecoming week the most ex- citing and spirited time of the en- tire year. Thanks to the Student Council, Homecoming week was a much en- joyed success. Students were given an opportunity to show their class spirit by purchasing spirit links from Student Council members at lunch. Class spirit continued to rage when members from each class were asked to participate in many 'challenging and mind-teasing' ac- tivities, such as the baby food eating contest and the toilet paper wrap. Dress up days also brought out the Homecoming spirit in several interesting ways. Students dress- ed in togas, or bobby socks, oras nerdy tourists, could be seen run- ning to class, anxiously waiting for the week to go by and Friday night to come. And boy was it worth the wait! Suddenly, all the aliens and beboppers were gone. They had all melted into the crowded stadium, the sweet taste of victory, and the lasting memories of the past week... Homecoming week.

A royal night Homecoming festivities honor Karee Mills and Steve Austin A cold wind blew across the field. The band's tempo slowed, the music became soft and melodious. A soft rumbling could be heard from across the field. The crowd began to roar. lt was a night made for dreams. The Homecoming Court had just been introduced and they were about to make their tradi- tional appearance on the field. The night reflected, for the royal court, weeks of petitioning and long LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD! Bot- tom right: Alexandra Galarza anxiously waits for her date to open the car door.

The event everybody had been waiting for since early September had come. A victorious night of football was followed by a gala honoring the Homecoming court at the Ysleta Cultural Arts Center. Students, dressed like celebrities, enjoyed four hours of partying before heading to Juarez for more dancing, or to the mall to catch a midnight movie. Others grabbed a quick bite to eat or ended their night by catching forty winks. Homecoming was definitely a time for students to express their school pride and spirit. lt was also a time to just kick back and relax away from the everyday hustle and bustle of Algebra and English. ...ss
