Mth fair parades, rehearsals, and lots of homework, Homecoming was . . . A Busy Week ith the Zipper on one side of tovlm and the i'Buming of the H on the other, students spent most of Homecoming Week in their cars. This week was so hec- tic. said senior Wendy Ratcliff, I had to practice cheers, decorate for the cer- emony, and ride in the fair parade. For the first time in several years, Homecoming and the Four States Fair fell during the same week. And for stu- dents like Wendy who had to participate in both Home- coming and fair activities, it was a rather busy week. There were many long hours and much hard work put in to get ready. Two weeks before Homecoming, the Student Council and cheerleaders began the pre- parations. Decorations were Sa cheesel Taking a Break from the fun and ex- cltement of the fair are seniors Scott Elchorn, Jimmy Townsend, Todd Martin, Craig Schulz, Chad Merchant, Trace Warren, and Dylan Lewis. made and put up, rehearsals for the ceremony were held, and the football, drill team, and band practiced for the game. Even with all the stir of ac- tivity going on at school, many students still found time to go enjoy the fair and rodeo. We had a blast. said se- nior Craig Schulz, We rode the scary rides and played games. All of us just cut up and had a good time. Between homework and Homecoming, the fair gave most students a chance to go take time off and have some fun. Then came Friday night- the Homecoming game against Linden-Kildare. This was what Homecoming was all about. lt is a celebration of school spirit as well as a time for alumni to come back to their high school. Though Pleasant Grove has only one class ofalums, they were in the stands. The cele- brating began as the Home- coming Court and their fath- ers were introduced on the field at pre-game ceremo- nies. It continued as the Hawks took to the field. Many of the football players say that the Homecoming game makes them want to win a lit- tle more than any other game, but as seniors Jerry Moody and Trace Warren said, Once you start playing, it's the same as any other game. But this week wasn't over yet. There was still Saturday. Saturday moming the band participated in a marching contest and took a first divi- sion rating. By Saturday night and the Homecoming dance, the week was coming to a close. l was rather tired by Sat- urday night, said senior Dylan Lewis, lt was the per- fect ending for a busy week. ge Sp0n0l'S FOUR STATES OIL, INC.

This year's varsity cheer- leaders are very creative, and so crazy that the strange ideas for skits come to them naturally, said cheerleader sponsor Lori Ables. Especially popular was the weekly segment of l'Rumors where the private lives of the athletes were re- vealed to the student body. On a few special occasions, special themes were given to the pep rallies. On Halloween each student was encouraged to dress up as his favorite charac- ter. The senior English classes presented humorous skits. Two night pep rallies were granted in honor of the senior class. These were the popular, but final, Toga pep rally and the emotional senior bum pep rally. This was the perfect finale reflec- ting a successful and spirit-filled football season. Summer Spmt Sure, the foot- ball team prac- tices in August. But what most people don't know is that the cheerleaders, drill team, and band practiced all summer long to prepare for the school year. These groups not only prac- ticed for hours on end, but also attended special camps to leam new techniques and experienced competition. We practiced every day last summer before camp on perfec- ting all of our cheers. We came home with lots of excitement and new ideas for the football sea- son, said senior cheerleader Wendy Ratcliff.
