We've got spirit yes we do. We've got spirit how bout you? Spirit week was long awai- ted by many students. Senior Karen Moore said, “I was also excited to finally wear my toga.” Popular days were 50’s-60’s day, Costume day and toga day. The week began with 50’s- 60’s day. Students came dressed in poodle skirts, bobby socks, and tie-dyed shirts. Senior Tracey Ken- nedy replied, “I thought it was a wonderful, harmonious experience. Fellow brothers and sisters participated to make this day peaceful and loving. We should have more days like this, so more students can show their in- nerselves. My true innerself is a flower child and I got to dis- play it vividly. My last words are, Peace be with you and God loves you.” Costume day was the day when most students part- icipated. “I thought it was cute that we all got to dress as the Wizard of Oz and it also helped show school spirit,” commented senior Terry Baugh.

Homecoming Seniors Amanda Martin, Bonny Rollins, and Amy Hawkes were presented dur- “ing half-time. The Home- coming Queen and winner of the crown was Bonny Rollins. When asked how she felt, Bonny replied, “I was ner- vous, excited, scared, and cold all at the same time! All I could think about was my family and Jon (Check) up in the stands watching. The other two senior repre- sentatives were such good friends of mine that it wouldn’t have mattered who was crowned! But it was still a great honor.” “The highlight of the game was when Mark Jenkins sco- red,” commented player John Aronson. The fans respon- ded with the resounding fight song. Although the Bulls lost the Homecoming game 42-7, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the Islander fans who looked forward to the annual Home- coming Dance. The end to the week of cel- ebration was the Homecom- ing Dance. Decorations from the senior hall were provided to capture the spirit of the previous week. Decorations included top hats hung from the ceiling, a shredded sheet which said, “Friends are for- ever,” and clubs and activities rosters were placed on the wall. “It was a good idea using the hall decorations and a nice way to end the week,” re- plied senior Matt Regan. Eager students entered the dance and immediately heard their peers chanting the lyrics to popular songs, such as “All Cried Out.” Senior Tonya Juhl observed, “This was the best Homecoming Dance in the last four years.” The 1987 Homecoming Court.
