HBnyy The Hilter guise of alumni Scott Whitlock during his Home- coming Assembly speech provides comic relief for the crowd awaiting the announcement of King and Queen. Seated in the ela- borately decorated gym. Dave Summer and Stephanie Weeks dis- cuss the Homecoming game. Volunteeres spent all day setting up the gym. The call went out: the senior class needed eighty card tables. Eighty card tables, what for? Had someone lost their mind? No, the card tables were for the Homecoming Assembly. Seniors Karin Zisko and Bob Wolfe, co-chairpersons, used the tables to make the West Gym resemble a restaurant instead of a basketball court. ‘‘We really didn’t have any problems acquiring the tables,” said Karin. ‘‘It wasn’t just seniors who lent them, it was everyone.” Despite their efforts, Karin and Bob still had their share of problems. Even morning announcements asking for interested students to participate brought no one to help with the assem- bly. Still, the final effect was appre- ciated by the seniors and underclassmen. ‘‘It seemed more relaxed,” commented junior Joan Trexler. Also included in the array of Home- coming festivities was the dance empha- sizing the Roaring Twenties. ‘‘The total cost of the dance was about $1,000,” said chairperson Ruth Skowronski, ‘‘including all decorations, the band, and the sterling silver hearts given to all senior girls.” Although 213 couples attended the dance, it couldn’t cater to the tastes of everyone. Colleen Mackin, who attended with an out-of-school date, commented, ‘‘It didn’t meet my expec- tations, but maybe that was bcause the band took such long breaks.” Dave Dasco particularly admired the theme used for the dance. He observed, ‘‘The theme was well supported by the decorations. That made the dance more fun.” Homecoming— 17

To raise spirit for the seniors. Jonas Bergsten plays a cheerleader. Jonas, plus eight others, learned cheers to present for the half time show. Before the game starts, juniors do the loosen-up routine they learned from their coaches. Although 100 juniors bought jer- seys. only 57 actually played. the announcement came over the P.A. during homeroom: “Would anyone involved with the powderpuff game please report to the East Gym immed- iately.” Thus, players, cheerleaders and coaches meekly filed into the gym like children awaiting punishment. The annual powderpuff football game, junior girls vs. senior girls was in danger of cancellation because of van- dalism. Although the persons respon- sible for the property destruction were unaffiliated with the game, their actions would have penalized everyone unless a confession was made by one pm that afternoon. With a full confession, the game proceeded as planned November 7th. The juniors tied the seniors 6-6 in the second quarter, but the seniors shot back with 20-6 by halftime. The game girls get their turn on the gridiron ended in a 42-12 victory for the seniors. With only one week of practice be- fore the actual game, the coaches were hard pressed to organize everyone. Junior coach John Cseh commented, “The girls yelled too much at practice, but I still liked being around all of them.” And then there were the cheerleaders (all male, of course). Clad in borrowed outfits, the guys presented an assort- ment of cheers and stunts to add to the spirit of the game. Said senior cheer- leader Dave Bennett, “We didn’t prac- tice much, actually only half an hour, but I thought we came off good. Some said we were cuter than the regulars.” For all those who participated, either playing or watching, the powder- puff game was once again a success with only three reported injuries. It was a great fund raiser for the Key Club, too. Powderpuff—
