Words to (rn r t live by The students at Wathena High School have come up with some wild and zany new sayings. During the past year an explosion of new words and sayings have been spouted forth from the lips of young people across the nation. Since all of us at Wathena High are never to be left out ... we be jammin’l Now students get a chance to be in the spot light with their new words and catch phrases. “Get a life” took first place as our students slang phrase, in a high school survey, but no one particular saying really dominated the rest. Each student is different and has their own personal favorite. Everyone’s getting away from the basic and boring, and these new words are definitely not ordinary. They turn everyday words into phrases with a bit of pizzazz. So remember in the struggle of ev- eryday life when your searching for just the right phrase, think of the im- mortal words of Mr. Deaton: “Take no prisoners!” Weird-O-Ramma Janna Boos Intelligence level—zero Israel Elder What are you, a freshman?

Homecoming in Troy!? Just another Sweetheart Homecoming? That definitely wasn’t the case this year for Wathena High. Friday, the day of Homecoming, brought about a strange twist of events that shocked everyone. Disaster struck. On Friday morning, the water pipes above the gym ceiling burst causing water to saturate the floor. A basketball game at Wathena was impossible, so some quick negotiating was done with a neighboring school. Homecoming was going to be held at the arch rival’s court—in TROY. No one could believe it, and no one wanted to either. The entire day rushed by in a blur as students and faculty made some fast changes to prepare for the night ahead. “Everything was so hectic, we had rush all our things up to Troy for our Homecoming,” Jenifer McAdams said. Despite the confusing day, everything turned out well. Deanne Studer was crowned queen by Eddie Poirier during half-time of the varsity boy’s game. Her attendants were Janna Boos and Joyce Jones and their escorts Brandy Libel and Rodney McVey. “I was disappointed at first because we had worked so hard to get everything to look nice here, but it turned out fine,” Nicholle Haupt said. Although the Wildcat Homecoming was held at the ‘villian’s’ basket- ball court, all went well. The varsity boys cinched a 64-59 victory over Jefferson County North. This will be one “wild” time the students at WHS will definitely remember, by Michelle Haupt Spirit of ‘88’—Seniors Doug Bauman and A.J.
