As Fred walked through the front foyer doors Tuesday morning, he was surprised to find before him an island paradise. Pineapples, palm trees, and flowers bearing the names of all freshmen covered the walls, and a huge ban- ner welcoming the class of '86 spanned the courtyard win- dows. Fred decided that this must mean it was the beginn- ing of the famed Aloha Week. At 3rd period, Fred and all the other freshmen were herded into the auditorium to be entertained with the freshman skit. The LC gave their version of Beach Blanket Bingof' and Fred was in stitches the rest of the day. That night, he went to the roller skating party and couldn't believe his eyes. All the seniors were wearing their best polyester outfits, and Fred was really embarrassed when he mistook one of them for his grandmother. On Wednesday, Fred enjoyed dress-up day. He wore his brother's OP T-shirt and Hawaiian shorts. Other students wore anything from loud shirts to grass skirts, giving 1 ilei.-aff? ....W,...r .... - - .. r,,.f,MW -' What do you mean my skirt is see-through?

On Thursday, Fred and all the others were once again herded into the auditoirum for The Sunshine Boysl' concert. Fred got stuck behind a group of screaming girls and couldn't even see the band, much less hear them. However, Club Day turned out better for Fred. He managed to push his way through crowds of other students to join three different clubs. Although Fred had a blast throughout the week, he was really nervous about the Aloha Dance Saturday night. He had never been to a dance before, and he had asked a girl in his GPS class to go with him. Despite all of Fred's worrying, he and his date had a great time from the mo- ment his parents dropped them off to the moment they picked them up. That night, Fred collapsed in bed and thought about his first exciting Howdy Week. Now that he had received his first taste of life at Paschal, he couldn't wait for the years ahead!

Parents Visit Teachers During Open House They walked through the front door and stood there bewildered. lt seemed strange to be at school as parents and not as students. Two girls in white outfits and black hats, PSOP members, pointed them toward the large auditorium. They sat with hundreds of other obedient parents and listened to a speech by PTA president Latryl Ohendalski. For entertainment the Spirit Steppers per- formed a dazzling high kick routine while the band accom- panied them with Waiting for the Robert E. Lee. After they were dismissed, they wandered throughout the school and talked with teachers. These conversations enabled them to discover how their child was really doing in school. As they walked to the car, they congratulated each other for causing their child a painless amount of embarrassment. Brad Simcox and his father joke with Coach Hall. When are tryouts?
