Unexpected enchantment Homecoming week festivi¬ ties came to an end with a bang. After a week of students dressing in a variety of cos¬ tumes, from army-navy day to beach day, the big day for the football game arrived. On Saturday afternoon, Oc¬ tober fifth, the exciting foot¬ ball game took place. The team moved their record up with another win as we defeat¬ ed Riverheads High School 27-7. During half-time, every¬ one was excited about riding their class floats and seeing who would become the new Homecoming King and Queen. Named Homecoming Queen was Debbie Boyd who was es¬ corted by King Dante Ca- priotti. The float competition was held during half-time. Many students spent long hard hours working on their floats. For the sophomore class, their hard work paid off. Their float won first place. Close be¬ hind was the senior class which took second place. The freshman class followed with third place. The National Art Honor Society float took hon¬ orable mention. All of the floats did a good job carrying through the “Glory Days” theme. The homecoming dance was held on Saturday night. It started at 8:00 and came to an end at 11:00. Colors used to decorate the cafeteria were yellow, light blue, pink, and white. The walls not only had streamers hanging on them, but also had an assortment of balloons and silver stars on them. Each table had a brandy sniffer with a candle flickering in it. As students entered the dance, they found themselves in a world of the unexpected, as they surrounded them¬ selves with the enchantment of music, soft lights, and each other. Many seniors will re¬ member the “Glory Days” of their last Homecoming. by Lori Banks Dante Capriotti and Katie McKechnie seem to feel the enchantment of the night as they dance.

Working for the weekend With the prices rapidly in¬ creasing, many students were having to comeup with extra money. Just where did this money come from? Most students went out and got a job. A wide range of jobs were available to students in¬ cluding bagging groceries, cooking fast food, dishwash¬ ing, busing tables, and various other jobs. One such student, Coyt Shirley, who works at Winter- green, said he got a job be¬ cause he needed extra mon¬ ey. Besides, having extra money working at the resort enabled him to use the accom¬ modations free of charge. When asked if there were any disadvantages he replied, “Yes, the forty-five minute drive to get to Wintergreen.’’ Many of the working stu¬ dents’ comments were that they lost a lot of free time and they they had to make many sacrifices. On the positive side of thinking some commented, “You get many things you need and want that you never had the money for before, and you get to meet a variety of people.” Working and having to keep up with school work kept many students from getting enough sleep. It also took a special brand of determination to keep regular working hours and to keep grades from falling. Teachers also found it very frustrating to teach students who worked after school hours. Often the workers were identified very easily. They were the ones who sat sleep¬ ily in class and were unable to turn in assignments on time. Being a working student gave many a chance to be¬ come more financially inde¬ pendent and therefore more able to choose what they wanted to spend money on, but they also had to sacrifice a great deal of time — both free time, and very often, study time, to hold down these jobs. by Stacy Harris Sandy Vey smiles while working at Country Cookin ' on Halloween night. 14 Jobs
