Spirit, hair, clothes, makeup, everything was tested by the weather Homecoming Friday, but new activities helped bring out some smiles. New and different ideas highlighted the ' 86 Homecoming week and made it a special week not easily to be forgotten. With the exciting theme ' Shake it up Baby, ' how could it be boring? Kicking off the week were the traditional dress days that included pajama, class, dress-up, toga, and black and gold days. Dress-up days proved to be popular with a large number of students participating and looking their best. For the first time, students got a chance to display their lipsync abilities by participating in Warren Central ' s version of Puttin on the Hits, sponsored by WEDM. % Over 400 students paid $1 to see eventual winners Heather McGee and Julie Pursley as ' J .P. and McGee ' lipsynced their way to victory. 1 We (WEDM) had no idea we would get $390, said senior radio student Sue Schwartz. Senior Jim Gallagher won Warren ' s first ever Homely Coming Queen Contest on Wednesday night. This contest had the guys dressing up as girls and the girls (their escorts) dressing up like guys. Janie Herrick, senior, said, The Homely Coming contest and ' Puttin on the Hits ' went over really well. On Friday, the Future Farmers of America and Quill Scroll Honor Society sold carnations instead of the usual mums and raised $4(X) for journalism scholarships. Homefest was a success, as usual, with the 5K run, fish fry, parade, and many booths in the Walker Career Center even if people did have to wade through rivers of mud for their food. Homecoming was brought to a close at the Homecoming dance in the foyer on Saturday night. Students got their last chance to shake it up. - By Beth Toombs Giving advice to sophomore quarterback, Aaron Spaulding, during the Cathedral game is Coach Stauffer.

Grover Corners came to Warren in the classic production of the importance of life and those special times in the Webb and Gibbs families. What do two trellises, two step ladders and two kitchen tables have in common? This is what 80 percent of the scenery was for Warren Central ' s production of Our Town . Thorton Wilder ' s Our Town is a three act play that tells basically about Ufe in general, and about some very special moments in Ufe. The last time it was produced at Warren Central was ten years ago. For the first time in Warren ' s history, a faculty member J. Ramsay Gibson, starred as the stage manager. Taking place in Grover ' s Comers, New Hampshire, tiie first act carried the audience through an entire day with the Webb and Gibb famiUes. In the second act, the focus was on the love shared by George Gibb, who was played by Greg Ledford, and Emily Webb, played by Lee Perkins. After the high school commencement, the two, after a long period of courting, decide to get married. Act Three is based on Emily ' s ideas of living. Telling everyone, especially her mother, that life is too short, Emily regrets that she had such a brief time to be with her family. Senior Greg Ledford said, I was very pleased with the production, and I ' m glad we had a great attendance. One of the charms of this American classic is that few propos are used and the actors pantomime much of the action. The cast members included: Tim Colwell, Kenny Jones, Tim Hampton, Jenny Montgomery, Amy Pangbum, Greg Ledford, Jody Reynolds, Robert Clements, J. Ramsay Gibson, Lee Perkins, Carol Gray, Scott Black, Dannyel Morris, Anne Kettery, Shelly Joseph, William Mansfield, Carol Kriese, Jason McCord, Scott Silks, Bill Ostendorf, Paul Parker, Mike Ramon, David Moore, Christina Hartlieb, Tracy Woodson, Teresa Cowherd, and Chris Snider. The production, which was given three nights, Oct. 15,16,17, had a good audience with about 500 in attendance. I felt it was an exciting production and the cast really brought their talents out, and the audience really enjoyed it, said Mr. Thorn Feit. - By Todd Melloh student Life p. 12
