A major part of our attempt to not show off was the everyday actions of the student populace. Sure, homecoming, winter, the school musical and all the other annual events were still a part of the year. But even more than that, students became aware of the importance of their freetime. From jobs to extracurricular activities to dating, the emphasis of a student’s life were more than confined to the school building or an 8:00 to 2:40 schedule. You could say that when it came down to covering a student’s life, we did just that. We caught them at the football games, pizza places, and shopping malls. We also saw them working, dating, playing and graduating. Divided into three sections, Student Life examines those pieces of the year that not only were special events, but also those which had a personal touch. We even included a special section on closing out the school year.

Risin’ to the challenge Preppie and punk took a backseat to concert t- shirts, pajamas and towels as Homecoming dress da ys were designed to “challenge Warriors. In twenty years when Warren students reflect back upon the events which made Homecoming 1982 they will most likely remember it as the year that Brent Anderson debuted in his mother’s clothes, seemingly normal guys flounted their stuff in front of a crowd of screaming girls, and the theme song of the week should have been changed from “Eye of the Tiger” to “Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head.” While the Homecoming events, grouped under the theme of “Risin’ Up to the Challenge,” may have been marred by the lack of spirit of the student body, they still challenged students to be a little daring, bizarre, or otherwise. Dress days made up the majority of the week with special emphasis on getting the entire student body Although it was raining, things couldn’t have been sunnier for Homecoming Queen, senior Janice Echart and her escort Ryan Hargrove. involved. Old favorites such as “Concert T-shirt Day” and “Hat Day” garnered the most participation. However, the days which had most people doing double takes were “Opposite Day” and “P.J. Day.” “I never thought that so many people would have the guts to dress so weirdly, expecially the guys,” stated junior Amy Buell. Another highlight of the week was the Boys’ Beauty Contest. Judged by Homecoming nominees, the event saw student council president Paul Boger crowned as the winner. Finally, the week culmi- nated with the annual Homecoming parade. Characters such as Snoopy and E.T. became float ornaments and Homecoming grand marshall Channel 6 sportscaster Chris Allen looked to the skies and guaranteed a dry night and an assured Warrior victory. So one out of two isn’t bad... 13 Homecoming
