Homecoming Week - A Fun Filled Five Each year with the arrival of fall and with fall football, there also is the arrival of Homecoming Week and its festivities. Last fall was no different. On the Monday of the week preceding the “big game,” the sophomores sponsored a day of activities. They called their day “Punk Rocker Day” and on this day the halls were filled with the latest punk fashions and fads. On Tuesday of that week, the freshmen sponsored a day for individuals to dress up in their finest, so, those spirited few dressed in their best and strutted their stuff. Midweek was found to be the day for the sub-freshmen, and they chose to label their day as “Hero Day.” This day found the halls filled with Su¬ permen, Incredible Hulks, baseball heroes, and even a Stan Laurel. On the down swing of the week, the juniors were given their chance to show their spirit with their day called “Grit Day.” On this day a wide variety of costumes were seen as students were allowed to wear almost anything they wanted. On Friday, the final day of activities, the seniors and other students donned their favorite pair of Levi’s, cowboy boots, and hats and sauntered their way through the halls. During the afternoon Friday, a pep rally was held for the football team who was to face Carver that night. The half-time festivities of the game were filled with the introduction of the 1982 Homecoming Queen and her court. Senior Patsy Burkhart was crowned as queen with the members of her court be¬ ing the following seniors Glenda Carter, Denise Litten, Valerie Elgin, Charlotte Bar¬ bour; juniors Conna Turner, Rhonda Hopkins; sopho¬ mores Cheryl Anderson, Kel¬ ly LaForce; freshmen Tammy Cox, Leslie Sheppard; and sub-freshmen Leigh Ann Col¬ lins, Renee’ Kodenski. Following the football game the Homecoming Dance was held in the school cafete¬ ria with the a D.J. from K-92 playing the hits and closing out the week on a good note.

Senior Class Rivalry Sparks Another Successful Play There is a kind of unwrit¬ ten rivalry between the senior classes of each year. Each class tries to outdo the pre¬ ceding class in everything. This year’s senior class was no different in trying to outdo their predecessors, especially in their senior play. They per¬ formed a wonderful farce of the Shakespearean play “A Mid-summer Night’s Dream.” The cast took the original script, with some help from director Mike Lar¬ sen and rewrote the play into “PCHS language.” The plot was that of a love story, hav¬ ing the two lovers fight for the right to express their love for one another. The web tangled as they wandered into the Magic Forest, but all ended well and the kingdom rejoiced in their happiness. Another rivalry existed this year as in preceding years when the spring play was per¬ formed. The play “A Feudin’ Over Yonder” was another farce of love. In this play the families of Frye and Popoff were feuding and much to their children’s dismay, the widow Ma Frye and the wid¬ ower Pappy Popoff fall in love with some help from Moun¬ tain Maggie. This same Mountain Maggie helps the rebellious daughter, Rosa- belle Frye realize her love for the enemy, Clem Frye. This strange array of events is topped off with a series of weddings performed by the travelling minister played by Toby Lane. With these two productions coming from PCHS in one year, undoubtedly the year must be called a year of suc¬ cess for the actors and ac¬ tresses of PCHS. Lysander (Kevin Williams) tries to persuade his servant Bottom (Jim¬ my Keesee) to go and search for a good path in the woods as Hermia (Jane Moye) looks on. 10 Plays
