HOMECOMING 1981 Although winning did not turn out to be the order of the day, the spirit and enthusiasm surrounding Homecoming 1981 made it a grand success. The week’s festivities began with an original dress-up theme — Tropical Day. Students roamed the halls clad in Hawaiian shirts and beach thongs. Wednesday and Thursday were marked by the outrageous costumes of the ever-popular Sixties and Clash Days. Thursday night’s bonfire displayed the growing anticipation of the approaching athletic contests and Homecoming dance. Each class and team performed a skit, with themes ranging from The Frosh Predicament” to Faculty Feud. The winners of the girls’ hairy-leg contest and the boys’ beard-growing contest were chosen from a pack of fierce competitors. The program concluded with the announcement of the 1981 Homecoming Royalty. Scott Gillmer and Missy Everson were crowned King and Queen. Their attendants were seniors Rick Wall and Jane Myers, juniors Mark Mitchell and Emily Sahr, sophomores Shekkhar Sane and Katie Heegaard, and freshmen David Crosby and Rachel Ratner. The blaze of spirit generated by the bonfire was rekindled on Friday morning with a rousing pep-fest. Grrr Win and Bear it” proved to be an appropriate homecoming slogan for students dressed in school colors. Athletic events began in the middle of a downpour. Playing in the mud the football team lost a close decision to homecoming opponent Centennial. The soccer team splashed to a tie with Breck. Volleyball took the Chiefs to the last points of the last game before losing 2-1 to finish out the evening. Girls' swimming and tennis carried Blake to victory as these teams smashed their opponents. The flurry of activities came to a close on Saturday night at the Homecoming dance. Things That Fall Down provided a different beat for all in attendance. The dance was an exciting conclusion to a week of enthusiasm and fun. 26 — Homecoming
