With one year’s experi- ence, the sophomores managed to impress the judges enough with their hall to win the compe- tition. Gay Lynn Hurta, sophomore, said, “I was afraid the seniors were going to win. but I guess we got lucky.” Aside from the fierce hall competition, stu- dents also participated in the dress up days on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Also, the seniors set a new trend this year as they took T- shirts and painted ‘‘Class of 86” on the front and signed their names on the back. During the morning pep rally in the com- mons, “I was surprised that so many people knew the words to The Night We Drove Ole Dixie Down without having to read a poster,” exclaimed Steven Christman, senior. Steven's surprise was due to the absence of the traditional poster with the lyrics painted on it hanging from the balcony. At the regular pep rally, the Goosebusters sign was passed on from the senior class to the junior class, and in accordance with tradi- tion, Mr. Ronnie Kluch, a former coach, gave his motivational speech to the football team. On the Monday following The Game, which Sterling won 24-10, the student body received praise from Mrs. Janie Chris- tian, assistant prin- cipal, for the good sportsmanship and overall spirit which complemented the stu- dent body and added class to Lee Week. 16 Lee Week Kerry Henderson makes a desperate lunge for the extra yards needed to secure a touchdown for the Rangers.

J In the aftermath of the game against Deer Park, the student section of the home side chanted, “We want Lee. ” These words were repeated over and over as the final seconds of the game with the Deer ticked away, and were only a prelude to what began the next day, the unofficial beginning of Lee Week. Saturday was the day in which the student body suddenly went wild with excitement, for they knew what Monday was. Yes, it was to be the advent of this year's edition of Lee Week; and as early as Saturday morning, the artistic abilities of many students began to prosper in the form of shoe polish and poster paint. The cheerleaders con- structed a theme which incorporated the popular sports watch, the Swatch Watch. The theme was, “Swatch Out Ganders ... The Time Has Come,” and as the time came closer to the Friday night showdown between the crosstown rivals, it seemed as if the student body had pretty much “switched out” the school building with their hall decorations. Poster parties became a daily activity for all four grades as students organized them for the annual hall decorations. “For the first few par- ties, we just played around and didn't get much done. But we got to work when we had to,” said Ronda Gillum, junior.
