Swamped Sophomores Theresa Theroux, Kristen Hay¬ den, Angie Deck, and Tracy Jarvis got the priv¬ ilege of putting together the spirit links that hung in the cafeteria throughout Spirit Week. An incredible 70,954 links were sold at five cents each. Glass-supportive students pur¬ chased them in hopes that their class would end up with the most. The Junior Class won after buying 30,443 links. ■Mrs Indian Without a Cause Playing the part of the hapless Indian, Andy Best waves to the crowd before the 3-D panther smashes out of the drive-in movie onto him on the senior ' s float.

Though the score was a very close 21 to 20, the Panthers won the Friday night game. (Cont ' d on p.15) Good Enough The Class of 1988 hadn ' t been known for its school spirit before 1987, so the seniors were overjoyed about at least tying for Most Spirited Class with the juniors. np . wp» ... 12 Homecoming
