Auer Reigns Over Homecoming When the dark clouds finally van- ished and the sun broke through, ev- erybody knew that this Homecoming was going to be fantastic. All the rain earlier in the day was forgotten as the floats started rolling onto the practice field for the judging and pep session before the big game against Wayne that night. Each class presented its float with style. Seniors displayed a giant can- non that exploded (with a little help from some firecrackers). The juniors presented a football helmet while the sophomore class offered a football field with a huge football placed in the center of it. The enthusiasm of the day was car- ried over to the night as kids smug- gled bags of confetti and toilet paper All the work paid off. as the prize-winning .senior Senior Kelly Auer is all smiles ofler heing float travels in the parade on Homecoming day. crowned Homecoming Queen. into Wayne stadium. They proved useful later as the Trojans walked off with a 18-6 victory over the Wayne Generals, giving the Trojans a nice lead in the SAC race. To top off the excitement, senior Kelly Auer was crowned Home- coming Queen during the half, with the screams of the fans and the rain of confetti falling throughout the en- tire stadium. Later that night, Elmhurst rocked to the sounds of Misty Moods for two hours, draining the last bit of energy from the tired bodies that had gone without sleep for about two weeks! Homecoming proved unstoppable and many wouldn ' t have changed it or had it any other way. 10 Homecoming

Spirit Week Brings Out Rowdiness The class of 79 makes an impressive showing 05 its f oal proves to be one of (he best that the sophomores have produced in a long time. Hey, your pants are inside-out and so is your shirt! Well, I knew Mon- days were bad but ... If you hap- pened to be walking around with your pockets hanging out or your shirt inside out, it caused people to take a second look for sure. Those nice suckers that make your stomach ache after you ' ve eaten about ten of them were also popping out of students ' mouths everywhere as Monday was, of course, INSIDE- OUT AND SUCKER DAY. MASK AND COSTUME DAY proved to be a frightening experi- ence, especially when you came face to face with Dracula, alias senior Sam Botas, as he roamed the halls. Stu- dents came in pajamas or surgical uniforms, as clowns or in other wild outfits which brought roars of laugh- ter and lightened up everybody ' s day. FLAG DAY brought the biggest challenge, as the girls tried out their charm while trying to rid the guys of their flags. If any guy talked to a girl during the day, he had to surrender his flag and the girl with the most flags at the end of the day received two free tickets to the Homecoming dance. Senior Carmetta Walker walked off with the honors as she col- lected 39 flags. Wednesday also saw the powderpuff football game ending with a score of 0-0. The okl jeans were tossed aside for one day as Thursday, being DRESS- UP DAY, brought out the long dresses and leisure suits to give a touch of class to the school. But this wasn ' t to last long as Friday, DRESS-DOWN DAY, became just the opposite. People wore torn jeans that were covered over by nu- merous patches, funky t-shirts, and the old shoes with holes that should have been ditched a long time ago. Making signs, decorating halls, and pep sessions all made Homecoming something special. Along with that, the enthusiasm during SPIRIT WEEK made it one to remember— just take a second look. Senior Elena Perez displays her collection flags which she either charmed or tricki from the guys during FLAG DAY. Senior Honey Aniunez-Luca, the foreign e change student, shares in the e.xcilement Homecoming day and the fact that the A.F. club received first place in (he club floats. 12 Spirit Week
