Timp and Utah Lake was a giant crater, as crews searched for sur- vivors. farmers in Moab reported large chunks of the newly completed Moun- tain View, were falling on his heards.

Caldwell Launches New “Eat Lunch Save A Cook” Drive In a press conference Mr. Caldwell stated. Our students just have to eat more school lunch. If they don’t, our cooks will lose their jobs. Most of the students were in support of Caldwell. Jeff Good. Jim Abcggaln. and a few other boys started a chant. ‘EAT LUNCH — SAVE A COOK. EAT LUNCH — SAVE A COOK. Caldwell adopted this as his theme. ’’Fund raisers will be held so we can send the cooks to Ronald McDonald’s school of cooking. he explained. “We simply must have a cafeteria. Where else can you get soybean sur- prise and leather lasagna for just a dol- lar, anguished a frustrated cook. Maybe we could discourage the kids from leaving for lunch, if we mined the field between here and 7- 11.

DOWNPOUR RUINS DAY OF FRIDAY FUN It's raining! Queen candidates screamed, search- ed for umbrellas, and headed for cover; while floats fell apart, smeared, and the band attempted to march through mud pud- dles. The traditional Home- coming parade was not quite so traditional. Nobody expected the rain, or the cloudy, dreary atmosphere the weather brought. The many nights of planning, working, and staying up late were washed away in a matter of minutes. The hard work payed off for the Span- ish Club though when they won Sweepstakes on their float. After the parade the rain stopped, clouds cleared and things started looking up for the game. Students, alumni, teachers and fans packed the bleachers excitedly in hopes that our team could defeat Pleasant Grove. But the score reflected the cloudy, dreary feeling of the rest of the day. Pleasant Grove won 21-0. But despite the many problems this Homecoming will be remembered. Directed by Mr. Praeuner the UHS band members march through the rain. FFA members participate in parade by riding their horses. Annie Harris, shivers in the rain. Mr. Caldwell stops for a breath after running in the road race tires — batteries — wheels — shocks. We’re the specialists. Homecoming 9
