Homecoming, let ' s all go home. No way! Homecoming ' s too much fun, so everyone stayed to brave their way through the safari week. The students participated in four spirit days as opposed to only three days the previous year. The first day students entered the jungles of the wild by dress- ing in khaki and camouflage. As senior Tim Gerig comment- ed, Camouflage day was great because I could torment those who refused to dress up by tying them up with my safari rope. The next day, the student body went back in time to the 50 ' s Junior Tanya Holsopple replied, It was fun to dress up and I liked the music they played between classes. It made me feel like I was really in the 50 ' s. Then Thursday was the tradi- tional blue and white day. Af- ter school, the halls were trans- formed into jungles. The senior and junior classes split first place in the hall decorations. By Friday, people classed up their acts and dressed in their best attire. A pep session was held at the end of the day honoring all the fall sports, es- pecially football. During the pep session, the cutest baby face winner was announced. Junior Lynn Swing won the contest and commented, I always wanted a rattle. Friday night the Woodlan War- riors defeated the Leo Lions by a score of 33-0. During half- time, seniors Scott Yoder and Amy Bowers were announced homecoming king and queen. Their court consisted of seniors Ray Mendenhall, Jan Dela- grange, Russ Johnson and Pam Martin, juniors Nikki Har- ris and Dave Mohr, sopho- mores Marcy Riebersal and Larry Coomer, and freshmen Joey Ternet and Holly Gaston. There was only one disap- pointment, said senior Schely Gerbers. None of the classes got to have their name put on the Powder Puff plaque be- cause of the rain, which can- celled the game. The rain may have soaked everyone at the game, but, since it was home- coming, no one went home. £ ( 16 )) Homecoming On an attempt to score a touch- down, junior running back Milce Lo- gan (22) carries the bail and watch- es as teammates Junior Lynn Swing (62) and senior Ray Mendenhall (12) block for him.

There was a war zone be- tween the Senior Citizens, Po- jammin ' Juniors, Samurai Soph- omores, and Hawaiian Tropic Freshmen who gathered in the varsity gym to battle it out in the game of basl etball. The teams all dressed and acted according to their theme while cheering on their very own basketball stars, There were two tourna- ments divided into two twen- ty-minute periods, one be- tween the guys and the girls. The girls tournament ended with the Samurai Sophomores being the champions over the Senior Citizens, Sophomore Ar- lene Graber stated, The sen- ior girls really made it hard on us when they got powder all over the floor during their warm-ups but we gave it our all and came out on top. In the guys tournament the Sen- ior Citizens were victorious over the Hawaiian Tropic Freshmen. The tournament was really radical, but we knew we wouldn ' t win so we started fouling them like cra- zy! commented freshmen Rob Bennett. Who could turn down a chance to be with their friends, dress up wild, and just act downright CRAZY??!! Junior Bobbi Jo Schmucker com- mented, We knew we were losing so we decided to stall the game by throwing our pil- lows and stuffed animals onto the floor. Here ' s where the classes had a chance to battle it out with each other and some were victorious, some weren ' t, but it was all just for fun and games. ■ Senior Citizen Marcy Brenneman at- tempts to malte tier way up to ctieer (or ttie Senior Citizen guys during their game against the treshmen.
