Max Headroom Homecoming Highlight Homecoming was held on the weekend of September 19, a few weeks earlier than in previous years. The pep rally was somewhat less than successful, since spirit week had been postponed and the student body didn't have very much to get excited about. The rally featured some comments from the administration and coaches, and the fall sports teams were introduced. The homecoming court election results were announced, and Jason Spafford and Christy Beltrami were crowned King and Queen. The varsity and JV soccer and field hockey teams proved themselves victors in their Friday afternoon homecoming games. The bonfire and the snakedance, led by our cheerleaders were mildly successful despite the fact that the snakedance was shortened by the activities of the Barre merchants. In spite of the rain Saturday afternoon, the homecoming parade went on. The seniors won the float contest with their clever depiction of Max Head- room. Unfortunately, the varsity football team was defeated in a muddy battle with the South Burlington Rebels. Although the homecoming spirit was strong, there were technical difficulties at Satur- day night's dance, and overall it was agreed by most to be a flop. The general opinion of most students, particularly up- perclassmen, was that homecoming should never again be held so early in the school year — Stephanie Haskell left — The Spaulding offense bravely faces the South Burlington Rebels in their ill-fated Homecoming game. « Left — The Spaulding Homecoming Above - The cheerleaders plan how Court, announced during halftime; Lori to perk up the soggy Homecoming « Benoit, Jenny Plante, Lisa Senecal. crowd. 2 Queen Christy Beltrami and King Jason Spafford Other court members were football players.

But how is that possible when 16 becomes the year of the job for many of us? Although more money means new clothes, more expensive outings, and maybe even a new car, it has its disadvantages, especially when senior year rolls around and the luxuries painfully dis- appear.

Tracey Freeman comments, “Yes, definitely, although it takes up a lot of your time — it provides you with money and, also, prepares you to deal with the outside world after graduation. — Jenny Richardson Jobs 11
