Spirit Triumphs We got spirit, yes we do; We got spirit, how ’ bout you? For a week before Homecoming, electricity crackled in the air. Ac- tivities for spirit week included such classics as Dress-Up Day and Red and Gold Day. Three new additions were Hawaiian Day, Backwards Day, and Forties Day, which helped promote the dance theme of “Puttin’ on the Ritz.” Events at the end of the week raised enthusiasm to a feverish pitch. A pep rally held on Friday roused the spirit of students as well as the team. In the parade which preceded the game, the froshmore float received the coveted title of first place. For their mockup of an “Urban Assault Vehicle,” the senior class earned the award for Most Unusual Motorized Vehicle. During the game, Homecoming Queen finalists Annie Chester, Maria Mallonee, Sloan Metz, Connie Oates, and Mary Carol Welsh waited in an- ticipation for the half-time announce- ment of 1983 Homecoming Queen. The tense waiting ended when this prestigious title was bestowed upon Sloan Metz. Amy Bernat kicks up a storm at half-time. Sister Jane braves the cold to wait patiently for a Homecoming touchdown. Former Queen Jackie Bucko crowns 1983 Queen Sloan Metz during thunderous applause. The dazzling froshmore float wins a blue ribbon. 14 — Student Life
