nUD£N7 LIFE VI, ' e ' ve never looked so US as we paraded through the halls during an impromtu pep session for Homecoming. The annual events took on new meanings as Yorktown students added their own individual touches to... n The Sadie Hawkins dance when flannel shirts and jeans were bypassed for black, silver and pink punk shirts and parachute pants as the accepted dress. o The Drama Club ' s first ever dinner theatre, which highlighted not only a Neil Simon play and lasagna meal, but Russian dancers, a violinist and a transfor- mation of the high school cafeteria into a quaint Russian village. p The Prom, which took place in a local bowling alley, didn ' t strike out as couples danced in the new ballroom with the theme, A Night in Heaven.

I have toi- let papered everything from Stisher ' s yard to Stisher ' s car, and even to Stisher ' s trees. So the junior class officers thought I would be the best person to represent our class in the toilet paper wrapping contest. You name it, I T.P. it! All wrapped up, but no place to go!
