WIG IPC For the third consecutive season, the Little Cyclone gridders captured a Homecoming victory, upending Cedar Falls, 24-21. Despite jumping ahead early, Ames could not hold the lead, needing a last- minute touchdown to secure the win. un: As in the past, a pep rally was held the night before the game, in order to “fire up” the student body. However, high winds forced cancellation of the traditional bonfire, and following the coronation of the Homecoming King and Queen, an abbreviated ceremony was held in the gym. A variety of skits were performed, most notably one in which football co-captain Mark Birdseye consumed a live grasshopper to demonstrate his squad’s “animal” instincts. جر = Lge tae rT ኻን my ao Du Ur eem 9 9 3 ናም قوف قت‎ 5 H Bam E? 5 A ዬ — = . pê , D . ቕ T ወብ ይ A E - ፦ m Moments before, seniors Bob Baker and Ann Watson were presented to the coronation audience as Homecoming King and Queen.

DECA is also club activities, state and local competition, and much more. “DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) is a program in which students are trained for careers in marketing and distribution,” said DECA advisor Darrill Abel. DECA, like all the other occupational education classes, consists of three phases: the job, the classroom and club activities. Most of the jobs students held were in the retail marketing field. Many of the stores were located in the downtown and North Grand Mall areas. “If you're willing to work hard, it can be very beneficial at work and at school,” said Todd Hageman. “DECA is well worth your time because you're learning about your job on the job and in the classroom,” said Kelly Froning. Club activities included the selling of calendars, a parent potluck dinner, a teacher breakfast and a multitude of other functions. Alan Abbott summed up his feeling about DECA very simply, “DECA was a very rewarding experience. Left: LOWER AWAY. Mary Homer prepares to dip Mary Kay Rogge into a whirlpool at Mary Greely Hospital.
