TIQIJLY Q' IT I3lfTTEl2 HOMECOMING WEEK WAS A VARIED AND BUSY TIME FOR EVERY WARRIOR! When roaming the halls of West Orange High School, one does not expect to see togas or hillbilly clothes. Well, maybe hill- billy clothes, but certainly not sheets and Gene Simmons looka- likes. Nor do you expect Rag- gedy Ann and Andy to come to life right before your very eyes. Yet this was the case when Spir- it week rolled around.

EIDE EIDE TALE T SCDUTS STANDS THEY WERE HIDDEN. BUT THEY WERE THERE! The Seniors placed first in the i978-79 Homecoming Skit com- petition. But they weren't the only winners. Everyone who par- ticipated ended up winning with the fun and sense of belonging the competition brought to all. The annual event, always held the night before the Homecom- ing Game, involves practically the whole student body. Weeks ahead of time all the partici- pants get together, whether stu- dents from the Senior Class or members of FBLA, to attend re- hearsals which are now a matter of school tradition. It was amazing how many dif- ferent ways the Warriors could dream up to massacre the op- posing team, the Boone Braves. We shot them, brutally injured them, annihilated them, and made fun of their masculinity and their cheerleaders! The Class of '79 emerged vic- torious, but the thrill of winning was present in all because,for a moment, all were participants in predicting the future victory. I.
