' El 'l Q 5-at , ,qw GI Homecoming shines excitement silence prevails in the stadium as the announcer com- mands, PIease direct your eyes to the sky for West Highs L987 Homecoming Queen. For a few moments nothing could be heard except for the steady drone of the plane which carries the name of the unknown queen. Sudden- ly, lights illuminate the bottom of the plane unfolding the name of this year's queen, Julene Jones. This was how the festivities of homecoming began. This magical atmosphere continued the following evening as cou- ples arrived at West. The students had exchanged their usual attire for formal apparel. Ciirls shone in colorful, glittering taffetas and chiffons while the boys wore stylish tuxedos and suits. They were enveloped in an enchantment of the home- coming colors, emerald and silver, as they entered the dance. Music and laughter filled the night as the dance progressed. After Tim Stowe was crowned Homecoming king, the ele- gant couple swept onto the dance floor for the traditional dance of the king and queen. Slowly the couple swayed to the theme song, Tonight is Forever. As the dance came to a close, the cars, one by one, with- drew from the parking lots. Although this indicated the end of the dance, the cars' destinations weren't for homes, because the night was young and forever.

A supplemental review of students' needs 7I'l 'i inner wasn't enough! l need some real food Maybe there are some donuts and cokes in the frig that will last me through homework. Who am l trying to kid? l'll call Tim and then sleep. I know where my priorities lie Basic survival in high school involved many of the basic needs for life such as food and sleep. However these needs were taken to the extremes. Students loved to sleep for hours on end and eat unhealthy food. This undying love for pizza and candy clashed with an equally important vitality-especially for the girls-the need to be thin. Some almost killed themselves with aerobics and other exercise forms in an attempt to cancel the extra 5000 calories they ate at lunch. The guys liked thin.' Interest in the opposite sex was vital for teens to make it through long classes. Glaring at the gorgeous girl in history or drooling over lt hardly needs to be said that money meant suwival in high school. Attending parties or movies were simply not possible with- out cold hard cash-and letting loose was a necessity for any sane teen. Though students kept their sanity in diverse ways all needed a way to survive tedious chemistry labs and flowery English pro- jects.
