How When and Where . . . But Why? Have you ever noticed the circumstances in which you study, if and when you ever crack the books? Winnacunnet’s roving photographers have, and some of the conditions were astounding. The days of sitting at a kitchen table covered with text books are gone. Most of you, it seems, prefer to finish any homework you may have before you board the bus for home. An empty classroom or the library have the perfect atmosphere for some, yet others prefer the noisy, crowded companionship of the cafeteria. WCOZ provides the enter- tainment for those of us who haunt the yearbook room. Still others seem to enjoy ... the graveyard? There are a number of students in WHS who are chronic procrastinators and put off doing any work until it’s absolutely necessary. For them, those few precious minutes of homeroom provide the ideal conditions for completing homework-in-a-hurry.” Admit it, guys, how many of you have felt THAT before? Top Left: Kevin Mills studies hard wherever he can. Middle Left: Sue McGuinness, Tracey Hurley and Kathy Riley use a whole table for their many books while studying in the cafeteria. Above: Frank Carmen is getting some studying done in the con- fusion of the cafeteria. Left: Sue Welch and Mary Cahill try to get organized while studying. studying 19

HOMECOMING 81 Halloween. Just that one word conjures up images of sleek black cats, witches leaning over cauldrons, and little kids screaming through the streets, unrecognizable in their costumes. For us at Winnacunnet, however, Halloween took on a new meaning, for it was on this day that the second annual WHS Homecoming was held. The day dawned and soon the Winnacunnet parking lot was filled with screaming youngsters and somewhat serene high school students organizing themselves for the big homecoming parade, in which Brenda Byrne, the 1980 queen, participated with the nominees for this year's court. Also showcased was the senior class float, or Deathmobile. Run- ning under the theme No one here gets out alive,” it certainly looked the part. Our football team ran into some hard luck at this year's game, and was defeated by Milford. Being the enthusiastic, energetic people we are, we weren't discouraged by this turn of events and anxiously looked forward to the evening's activities. The cafe that night did not look like itself. Somehow during the previous 24 hours it had been transformed into a haunted house, complete with ghosts, goblins, and gravestones. The guests who arrived at the dance that night were completely changed as well; normal American high school students came instead as a bag of jellybeans, a flapper, the Lone Ranger, a Playboy Bunny, the Blues Brothers, a priest and a pregnant nun. Highlighting the festivities was the crowning of Queen Missy Williams and King Mike Donohoe. The atmosphere that night was outrageous and cer- tainly Homecoming 81 will be remembered for a long time to come.
