We had superwoman, raggedy andy and . . Hey. did you see the chicken? Chicken? What chicken? Among the various outfits for Halloween day was this motorcyclist. Hidden behind the glasses is Scott Blake. The one that just went down the hall! Your crazy! What would a chicken be doing here? Same thing that raggedy Andy, a lady in curlers, a scuba diver, a female football player, a truck driver, supergirl, batwoman, and gobs of others are doing here. What ' s that? Trying to graduate. Actually this odd assortment of people were showing their school spirit. They were d ressed in Halloween costumes for one of the three dress-up days of homecom¬ ing week. The week began with Farmer day, where a majority of the students came dressed in jeans, flannel shirts and overalls. The day after Halloween day was normal as far as dress was concerned, but after school a victorious JV game against Osbourne, preceded the traditional bon-fire. Friday, students wore blue and gold, and prizes were given for the ugliest, most original, and prettiest costumes. The varsity game, which we won, against Charlottesville was spiced with -special homecoming activities. October Fest was the theme and the floats were decorated accor¬ dingly. They were paraded around the field and the winners were an¬ nounced: 3rd place—sophomores; 2nd place — juniors; 1st place — seniors. The princesses rode the floats and were led onto the field by escorts of their choice. The audience was tense as they waited for the announcer to name the queen. A tearful Cindy Guy, was crowned by last year ' s queen, Cindy Patton, and escorted off of the field by Mr. Hicks. To end the week, students danc¬ ed to the music of Cold Duck on Saturday night. Thus ended an eventful week; all of the farmers and goblins were put away until next year. Teachers even got into Homecoming spirit. Mrs. Doris Spencer was prairie girl for a day. Lined up and smiling, our homecoming court was from left to right: Queen, Cindy Guy; Seniors: GaiS Benham, Liz Saunder, Alice Welch: Juniors: Cindy Bland, Lina Woodard, Cindy Carneal; and Soph¬ omores: Matiland Hinkle, Terry Gouldman, Lucy Conway. 10

One hour mrnim” ® THE MOST IN DRY CLEANING Gathering empty grocery carts and loading cars are only two of the jobs that James Reynolds performs at Earl ' s. I’d really like to, but I have to work.” This was a common statement heard around Stafford. Sometimes a sigh of relief was breathed afterwards because you really did not want to go to the meeting, but at other times, there was disap¬ pointment because you would have enjoyed that dance or game. The working students at Staf¬ ford were seldom mentioned, but they still existed. They were those students who needed gas money because they refused to ride the crowded buses, or perhaps they wanted extra spending money. Some worked for a grade. With ICT and DE jobs were provided and the employers graded the students on their performance at work. The students received two credits if they passed the class. The school ' s working population often missed out on special ac¬ tivities, but they had the satisfac¬ tion of knowing that they had gain¬ ed some financial independence and responsibility.
