Roaring Twenties Brought to Reality ear Tiffany, We |ust hod our homecoming and I thought I ' d write you and tell you about it. The theme was the Roaring Twen- ties. From November first through sixth, we enjoyed reliving this special era OS we celebrated football homecoming week. Continuing through the week were the lunchtime competitions, which pit- ted the four classes against each other. These contests included the tug-of-war, tricycle race, and the innovative pac- people competition. At the end of the week, the spirit stick was awarded to the tnumphant sophomores. Finally, homecoming day arrived. The traditional pep rally at brunch boosted the morale of the varsity football team for what was sure to be a challenging show-down against the Corona Pan- thers. A pre-game show had the stands packed at 7:00 p.m. Missy Johnson, ASB president, and John Sipos, chief jus- tice, hosted the ceremonies. Cheers sur- faced from the crowd at the announce- ment that the Music Club had won the club car competition and FFA had taken first in the float competition. As the seconds wound down on the clock signalling half-time, the tension rose. Silence reigned as the queen can- didates paraded around the track in replicas of ' 20 ' s cars. Cindy Peno was crowned homecoming queen by Julie Steinbrinck, the 1981-82 queen. The dance was held the next day at UCR. Afterwards, we stepped back into reality and out of the roaring twenties, a time we will forever cherish. Catch ya later, Kelly. 1.

Glamour Reigns Over Hollywood Halftime . . . none could mea- sure up to the caliber of the highlight of the entire evening ... 72 Jlitter, glamour, grandeur, and all the enchanted magic of Hollywood nightlife shone radiantly upon the hun- 1 dreds of people crammed into the gym. On February 1 0, 1 983 at 7:00 pm, the opulence was just beginning to sparkle. Majestic banners curtained across the walls were reflected in the highly pol- ished floor. The colorful attire of the spectators emblazened the entire atmo- sphere. Friendly shouts of welcome and greeting bounced from person to per- son as friends found each other and set- tled to watch the game ahead. From the very beginning, the game was brimming with excitement. The Fal- cons dominated the gome from the ex- citing first basket to the final buzzing of the clock. During halftime, the Hollywood atmo- sphere reached its peak. An Academy Awards presentation duplicated the most brilliant and anticipated Holly- wood evening. ASB members, masquer- ading as famous celebrities, presented the awards. Principal of the Year was clinched by Doug Huckaby, and Dale Johnson was granted the Coach of the Year honors. Yet none of these honors would even measure up to the caliber of the highlight of the entire evening: the crowning of the Basketball Homecom- ing Queen. The awaited moment. First, the class princesses — Kothy Hill, freshman class; Kelly Soto, sophomore class; and Teresa Partida, junior class. Next, Susan 2 Brown, Desiree Ashton and Rondo Peirce the queen candidates, walked onto the gym floor with confidence and grace. The crowd was hushed as Cindy Pena announced that Desiree Ashton would reign as the 1982-83 Basketball Home- coming queen. Misti Dawson, the 1 98 1 - 82 queen crowned her successor. After the game Desiree proclaimed, The ASB presented halftime very well. It was an original show that accented the theme wonderfully. 1.
