Mountin’ spirit. One of the favorite competitions held at pep rallies was the pyramid competition. Junior Kim Jones and fellow classmates rush to build a higher construction before the music runs out. Senioritis!!!! Sitting in the reserved senior section of the auditorium gave seniors the reminder that they were in¬ deed “upper” classmen. Lisa Welsted, Byron Ramsey, Ellen Revak, cheer the thought. A new form of lobbying. Members of the Marching Band energize the student body with a before-school pep rally in the main lobby. This type of morning starter inten¬ sified the school’s spirit.

Many paper flowers were necessary in the creation of the senior class float. Debbie St. Clair, Den¬ nis Hurley, and class comrades work diligently to complete this tedious task.

Homecomings were spoiled by weather and other factors. This year, however, the weather was clear, the parade was on schedule, court elections went smoothly, floats and showcases were completed, the dance was successful, and the game was won. Sophomore Tracey Ryan relates, “The week was busy, but worth it. It went by so fast it was like a good dream.” Tears of happiness. Newly crowned Kate Redgate advances around the foot¬ ball field in her solo ride as Queen. Her surprise and joy at being crowned bore evidence of the qualities which earned her election. Homecoming 19
