As you walk into what you believe is your regular school, you are raised into the air in a Rebel hot air balloon that leisurely takes you across the sky, passing through transparent clouds, moving slowly over the immaculate place called Rebelland. Swiftly it approaches the Rebel Pride Airport, land- ing on a runway. As you climb into the cockpit, a Rebel 727 rapidly takes you down 100 hall, flying through Heaven, passing Dixie Angels and Heaven's helpers. Finally, a spaceship carries you among the boundless shores of space, stars with upperclassmen astronauts float around the dark with unearthly aliens. When the school bell rings, you wake up from the fan- tzilsy and realize it is all decorations by the seniors getting ready for the week a ea . Competition was held between the classes to see whose name would dominate the spirit trophy for the 1986-1987 school year. Late nights and long weekends were spent creating items pertaining to the theme of 'fUp There with the Best of the Best . The seniors decorated the foyer with hot air balloons, a hang glider, and a dissasembled airplane that was borrowed from a junkyard. Everyones' best effort was put forth with each class de- serving a winning hand. Besides decorating the halls, other events were done to help the classes raise money for their proms. Spirit links were sold for ten cents each and after lunch change was put into penny jars. Carefully, the jars were watched by trustworthy students and teachers. Even though the seniors came close, at the last minute some dollar bills were slipped into the senior jar and the Juniors won. The final standings were announced at the pep rally with the seniors plac- ing first, the juniors taking second, and finally the sophomores. Although there was competition between the classes, Homecoming brought everyone together. For some, this was their last Homecoming, but they will always be Up There with the Best of the Best .
