Of the seven candidates, which includ- ed KERI BERTLESMAN, JENNY CASPER, SUSIE CLINTON, ANDREA CROAK, IRENE EREMEYEFF, IVY LOUIE, and MARY MORRISON, IVY received 1st runner-up and MARY re- ceived 2nd runner-up. It really was a close election, ANGELA DAVIS said that night after counting all of the incom- ing votes. It was an election that was pleasing to everyone. The cheers of the upper- and under- classmen for their floats had paused as the senior float glided off the field. Sh-h- h, they ' re going to announce the winner! BECKY BRYAN said, straining to hear over the mumbling of the crowd. After the announcement of the Senior float in fourth place, the crowd hollered for a mo- ment and then quieted to hear that the sophomores had taken third, and the freshmen had taken second. The tension grew ... the only float unmentioned had won . . . The Juniors Won! With JENNY CASPER as 1 983 Home- coming Queen, the Juniors as winners for the best float, and the Cowboys still num- ber one, clinching a 28-1 3 victory against Live Oak, students continued the even- ing ' s celebrative festivities in the Main Gym, dancing to Black Velvet ... to dance ' til the day. Truly, it was a night of Champions. -Cheryl Bowden SCURRAH and JIMMY LOCKWOOD play with Dino on the Juniors ' 1st place Flintstones Float. Freshmen aboard their 2nd place Smurf Float.

Jiif iiif iiflTMii ... for this year, that is, states COACH CHAPPELL. He is, of course, referring to the responsibility of the Salinas Union High School District ' s fight to raise money to provide sports as an extra cur- ricular activity. Thanks to community support, this year was in the safety zone, but the ques- tion, What do we do next year? is yet to be resolved, says GENE RITTER, SHS Vice Principal and member of the Save Our Sports (S.O.S.) committee. It was because of district cutbacks that we were forced to turn in other di- rections to raise funds for sports. The fee per sport rose from $7.50 to SI 5.00. There was a raffle for a new car. An all- city football jamboree was added to the fall sports agenda. All proceeds went to the S.O.S. fund. In addition, the battle for assistance met with victory through the donations of district Booster Clubs, communit; service organizations, and supportive ' citizens who were concerned that sportsBl remain a cherished tradition in our schools. Salinas High School sports continue rising to the top, and, despite financial obstacles, they aren ' t about to stop here and now . . . they ' re on their way to the stars! -Cheryl Bowden 22 Sports
