Tacos Tacos Tacos Playing our cross-town arch-rivals, the Edina-West Cougars, brought about a different kind of Homecoming in 1979. Naturally, it brought out the winning instinct in the Hornets even more than usual, for we wanted to be 1 in Edina! The slogan for this year was Shut down West — keep the best. We adopted an informal slogan that might have been the biggest part of Homecoming this year. It was- Make the Cougars eat lots and lots of tacos. which originated in the Spanish homeroom. The first thing the students noticed as they approached school that cheery Homecoming Friday was the water tower. It boasted a four-letter word written in fluorescent paint accompanied by two dangling dummies. (But not to worry, the janitors had it taken care of by second hour.) The day seemed to drag on for an eternity. The freedom bell finally rang. Mobs of people stormed into the gym and finally, when all had begun to quiet down, the 7th, 8th and 9thg graders trampled onto the scene. Through the stands, green and white dominated and hornet antennae were worn by sophomore girls. The pepfest started with the skits, which were very original this year. The winning skit was performed by Images on the Wind-a humorous take-off on the teachers. The students returned home only to get ready for the big East-West game when East was going to shut down West. Pre-game activities included the introduction of the royal court and all the floats. This year, the judges picked the deserving sophomore float as the winner. At the game, the spirited crowd endured the cold to see the Cougars eat lots and lots of victory tacos. The final score was a crushing 34-7. But with pride still left in our team, we attended the East-West dance and experienced a super Homecoming weekend. 14 HOMECOMING
