Juniors and seniors share trophy Homecoming this year was by far better then most Saratoga High School has ever had in years past. People truly worked hard to pull off this special event, and the work paid-off! There was so much going on from red and white day on Monday, to nerd day, and era day. But we'll all re- member getting up at 4:00 to decorate the hails for class competition. We won't forget the rallys and watching Jeff Dennis eat 34 marshmallows all at once! Then there was the VW push race which wasn't exactly burning rubber but proved to be quite a drag race. Strength comes with age was proved in the shopping cart race, as the seniors crossed the finish line first and the juniors and sophomores and freshman came in respectively. Then the night came, filled with tissue-paper, Elmers Glue, and staples as the class floats knew it. Also the princesses, the first king of Saratoga High, and the queen! All in all, the night proved very memorable, and one we will all remember. Top Left: Seniors show display on roof. Top Right: Jun- iors roar again with their display.

Finally-kiss. 40

Bill and Sue win king and queen On that Monday, Friday seemed so far away, but as Friday afternoon rolled around it was a continuous race with the clock. At five our float wasn't finished, the corsages and boutineers weren't bought and our dinner reservations were for six thirty. This was only the begin- ning. Leaving for the restaurant late we drove down the freeway at 60 m.p.h. During dinner we were told to hurry up and drink our wine, and at 8:30 we had to tell the waiter to forget the souffle that took 45 minutes to prepare. We had to be at the game in 15 minutes. Arriving at the school three minutes before halftime, we learned we had to pay to get into the game. Once inside, we discovered we had lost Bill and Muffie somewhere, but we couldn't wait any longer so we ran down to the cars, hopped in and pretended to be calm. We will never forget walking down the muddy field, clinging to our escorts for support, and laughing at Bob's joke about falling on our faces. However, we made it to the platform. Waiting for the crown seemed like for- ever as the excitement built up. When Sue was announced queen we felt very, very happy for her, and relief too, be- cause it was over, and the champagne and chocolate chip ice cream made our memories complete.
