Even when it is 20 Below, Fire And Ice week makes Sparks Fly The groundhog may have indicated that there would be six more weeks of winter but that didn't put a chill on this year's Fire and Ice week. The first of February kicked off a week filled with lots of excitement and activities. As usual, every day was given a special dress code. The highlight of the week was Wednesday. While underclassmen dressed in their best duds, the seniors were celebrating opposite-sex day. 1 dressed up because I thought it would be fun to see what it was like being a girl, said Rodney Mitchell (12). At the Variety Show on Thursday, students were thrilled by stunt biking and were surprised by a faculty band. Students rocked in their seats with laughter when Angie Walswick, Dawn Anderson (11) and Wendy Flanigan (12) lip synced to I'm A Blonde. When she danced, Wendy Flanigan reminded me of a girl on a Charlie Brown cartoon, said senior Tom Rice. After the students wiped out the faculty at the student faculty broomball game, the teachers wanted a rematch in something that they could handle. They challenged the I.M. volleyball champs to a game. The faculty triumphed but the students got revenge in a shoot out (free throw basketball, that is.) The king candiates were surprised and shocked to see what lay ahead in their futures. The Ta-paires also danced the routine they took to state. One special thing occurred this year when Pete Skwira, Paul Raymond, Todd Dexter, and Steve Holman talked about Richfield's Fire and Ice on the radio station, WLOL. The guys on the radio really showed everyone what Fire and Ice is all about, said Elisa Farley (10). — Denise Endrizzi DAYS OF OUR LIVES — Seniors Patty LaFore and Sara Lund take a stroll back through school at the variety show.

The King Candidates surprised everyone by wearing Tails And Sweats A ROYAL SMILE — King Jim Anderson looks dapper in his cape and crown. The votes were in, the winners were determined, and on February 3 at the ice arena the Royal Court for 1988 was selected. Our King was Jim Anderson, the Prince was John Evans, the Squire was Todd Pregler and the Paige was Derek Johnson. As a prelude to the coronation the student-student broomball game between the Cemetary Raiders and Frank was played. The Cemetary Raiders won in overtime and went on to beat the faculty team with a score of 3-2. Playing at the ice arena was neat for all who participated. KING'S COURT — Squire Todd Pregler, Prince John Evans and Paige Derek Johnson represent their grades for 1988. WHAT A SAVE! — The faculty broomball team's defense blocks a shot on goal. YEA JIM!! — Classmates cheer for their newly crowned royal court. Team Frank played a finesse style, and it got us a long way said Greg Larson (12). At 8:30 p.m. the coronation itself began. As the jazz band played seniors Mike Barbouche and Katy Youel announced the candidates and the senior escorts. Homecoming Queen Beth Johnson then made the selection by pacing up and down in front of the candidates and hugging the winner. The King's Proclamation was read by Jim Anderson. It was an exciting event in the midst of an exciting week. — Katy Youel 28 Coronation
