They were all part of Homecoming week activi- ties. Included in Homecoming week was the Spirit Button Contest, Romeo-Romeo Day, Hat Day, Button Day, Movie Star Dress up, the Jellyfish Guessing Contest, and Gummi Bear Contest. I liked the Gummi Bear Contest best be- cause l had the chance of win- ning all those delicious Gummi Bears, stated Adriene Hayes, senior. 14 Homecoming Week Stevie Powell not only guessed how many M8tM's were in a jar, he also had the fun of eating them after he won. SCOT sponsored its annual I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream Contest. Students had a chance to prove who could eat the most ice cream, but the catch was they couldn't use their hands. Ftigo Zambrano finished his bowl first without the use of a spoon. Other winners were Jodie Shipplett, Gummi Bear Guess- ingg Gina Slough, Spirit Button Guessingg Kevin Caldwell, Flo- meo-Romeo Day, Janice Washington, Hat Dayg Brian Frampton, Button Dayg Joe Kapitany, Movie Star Dress- upg and Brian Lake, Jellyfish Guessing. During the week there were days such as 5O's!6O's Dress Up, Clash Dress Up and Back- wards Day. On Friday at the annual Homecoming assembly there were performances by the pom pons, cheerleaders, and, of course, the Laddies and Lassies. The highlight of the performance was Dave Bjork's defying the law of gravity and dancing above the crowd on the drum. The assembly was ended with the seniors winning the battle cry. l was glad the sen- ior class won the battle cry be- cause lt showed we have more spirit than anyone else, stat- ed Senior Jennifer Drosset. The assembly culminated the week's activities and brought the student body to a peak of excitement which was carried over into Homecoming day.

Seniors boost record to 3-1 Frosh upset sophs in rough ba tile ries of rematch filled the air after the fresh- men defeated the sophomores 14-8 in the first of two powderpuff games. The game was hindered by rough play and tackling. I still feel we were cheated, but it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game, and we played our best, said Dawn Gollhardt, sophomore. ln the junior-senior game, the seniors dominated the ju- 16 Powderpuff Football!Bonfire niors 26-O. Trick plays and quick runs made it hard for the junior defense to stop the sen- ior offense. The seniors fin- ished their powderpuff play with a record of 3-1. Senior Chris Warchol stat- ed, We all really wanted to win this game against the ju- niors. Since this would be our last game together, we want- ed to prove once again that we were the best. Coaching the powderpuff teams were Mr. Richard Keller and Mr. Len Rauch, freshmen, Mr. Michael Bortel and Mr. Don Valiska, sophomores, Dr. Steve Humphrey and Mr. Ron Zeilenga, juniors, and Mr. Wayne Lunak and Mr. Pete Jensen, seniors. Bad weather kept many fans away from the bonfire! pep rally. However, the spirit of the small crowd was not dampened. The pom pons, Lassies, and cheerleaders each gave performances. The highlight of the night was the lighting of the bonfire. Unfortunately, the wind car- ried flames near the crowd, and the firemen on hand were forced to curtail the fire to keep it under control. Whether cheering on a pow- derpuff team or rallying around the bonfire, students found a way to generate spirit.
