Big Red Coach Bob Devaney shouted praises for the Junior Jays at a sports ban- quet. Assemblies communicated: General Mo- tors told of new inventions. Random Sample sang the Christian Youth Movement's mes- sage. Prep showed concern for fellow-man by Operation Others. Prepsters expressed a desire of winning in sports through comical pep rallies. The proposed Amendment 12 brought out Prep's unity. Happenings were people and ideasg serious, interesting, still others nothing but a mock or for fun. But those are Prepster's experiences and at Prep that is what happened.

Energetic Effort Produces Exciting Homecoming Homecoming happened when energetic people worked to produce an exciting event from game to queen crowning. On October 29, a Thursday night encounter against Central initiated Homecoming events. Crushing their of- fensive moves, Prep won over the driving Eagles 35-7. An energetic 25 man Homecoming Committee, under the direction of Greg Upah and Larry DiBiase, separated into seven groups, which covered a large range of activities. Juniors constructed the only Homecoming float from thirty-two dollars of materials. Students donated seven dollars, and the Student Council lent the rest. Forty hours of planning, gathering materials, and con- struction by 30 energetic juniors resulted in the float, a replica of the state of Nebraska, with the inscription, '72 Do It Again. Parading the float on the football field, the juniors displayed the confidence and spirit which followed the team to every game. Spirited sounds of activity filled the Blackstone Ball- room Friday night. Matt Oberst and Steve Gradowski, mas- ters of ceremony, observed the mood in the eyes and move- ments of everyone present. The excitement of the event built up, intensified even more with songs played by Bumpy Action, and climaxed with the announcement of queens at the intermission of the dance. Following the dance, many students attended individual parties held at their homes. Spirit at all the varied activities achieved the one goal of making Homecoming an exciting event. Scrupulously filling each hexagon, Dave Kush proves Prep spirit can pass the test of time-consuming monotony that the float demands. Supporting the heavy weight around the football field at halftime, mem- the juniors constructed the float from bulky two-by-fours, the replica of bers of the junior class parade the only float for Homecoming. Because Nebraska requires fifteen students to carry and balance it. 14 Jay Junior
