Chicago for never Chicago! For some it was a place to visit, for others it was a place for conven- tions. For students it was a special place to escape from the suburbs and lose themselves in all that a large city could offer. Excitement filled the air as the students disembark- ed the IC train at the Ran- dolph Station that for 52.80 took them to their destina- tion: donmtovm. The first stop, after a I5- minute walk down Michigan Avenue and over the Chica- go River, was the Magnifi- cent Mile filled with its ex- travagant stores such as I. Magnin, Nieman Marcus, iw, K' wt, N., M-1 1, L '--sl. A 'ff-,gf -at - .. -- the in if place -ending fun and Saks. There, the stu- dents fantasized about ouming one of the fur jack- ets that they tried on. The next stop was the Water Tower Place, where the students rode up and down on the glass eleva- tors. Everyone's favorite there seemed to be the toy store, F.A.O. Schwartz which was filled with almost every toy imaginable. I lose myself every time I go in there, said I-leather Gil- liam, junior. It makes me wish that I were a little kid again and that I could ovim all of the toys. Again, south of the river students headed toward the Art Institute, which was guarded by two giant cop- per lions. After looking at what seemed to be every picture possibly painted, they walked north to Cieno's East for the best pizza in Chicago. While waiting, boredom was not a prob- lem because there was plenty to read on every wall, booth, chair, and window sill. They also did some graflitti work themselves fit is permittedl. After filling their stom- achs, the day was complete and the students got back onto the train that took them home. 2 'T 'L ' W 9- if l 2 .'.y W ME ' i' Q Leliz Rick Kozina takes a ride on a lion out- side ofthe Art Institute.

'AV Shuffle, takes first as isney decorates school For a student who was a die-hard Donald Duck fan, who regularly got in shape to the sounds of Mousercise, who re- cently watched Dum- bo's Circus with a group of friends, a Salute to Disney was just an ordi- nary week. For everyone it was a chance to be in- volved in Homecoming week. Homerooms and clubs became inventive as they joined the week's activi- ties. The audio visual of- fice imitated the Chicago Bears with their AV Shuffle to receive first place for door decora- tions. C204's efforts brought the homeroom a winning banner in the contest sponsored by Boys' Club. Freshmen defeated the sophomores l2-6 in the powderpuff game, and the seniors won their first game in four years when they dovmed the juniors 6-O. However, the juniors bounced back to win both the battle cry and spirit chain at the Home- coming assembly. Mrs. Barbara Hodson, German Club sponsor, received the honored faculty award. Brian Frampton won the but- ton contest by wearing over l0O buttons. They were heavy, and they held in all the heat. Also, they were loud, but I ig- nored the sound, said Brian. Other winners during the week were Julie Carl- son, gummi bear guess: Rachelle Jackson, most mustaches: Michelle Broski, best legs: Jon Jenkins, ice cream-eat- ing contest: Denise Moore, original hat: and Alex Peterson and Catrisa Johnson, Mexi- can hat dance. The four winners to the Disney Song Contest were Tina Bona, Octavia Durkin, Kay Needles, and Linda Valdivia. The Disney theme al- lowed participants to es- cape into a world of make-believe for a short time. Left: The Homecoming court is announced by Caddy Leibig and Tammy Piper.
