5 Football was a test, not only for Elkhar t number li the players but for the spectators as well. To keep seated during breath- , taking plays when the adults sitting Blue Blazers win behind you kept yelling, “Sit down!” ’ . To apologize for the coke you State championship spilled all over the girl sitting in front of you. To be a sophomore and find the only place left to sit is in the senior section. To be calm- ly observing the boy that just walked by when a football suddenly slammed you in the head. However, all these little miseries faded away because of one fact: Elkhart was “Number One!” Through ten glorious games, the students watched and waited. Then after the final game with St. Joe, Elkhart was proclaimed champion. It was cold. It was snowing, but everyone was happy.

08 Homecoming: animated Snoopy float steals show With head bobbing and tail wag- ing, Paint and Pallete’s Snoopy float stole the show. The float was awarded first prize after the long procession from the Sophomore Di- vision to the Senior Division. By no means was the parade of student-drawn floats the only attrac- tion. The five-day 1968 celebration started with the “Let Spirit Fly Party”, continued with the parade and the pep session at Rice Field, and ended with the game itself and the victory dance celebrating the win over South Bend Riley. Beauty and grace topped the fes- tivities with the crowning of the homecoming queen, Kathi Torok. Kathi was crowned by senior class president, Phil Stiver, due to the car accident of Student Council president, Mike Marohn.
