r Dress-up day turned the students of EHS into real ladies and gentlemen. Like a lot of guys, senior Rusty Reed wore a sharp three piece suit. Wasted Days . The five days of spirit week were anything but wasted. Punk day, cowboy and Indian day, red and gray day, dress up day and the float competition are just a few of the activities that helped to make spirit week a big success. The most unique of the daytime activities had to be punk day. Everything from purple and pink hair and painted faces to plastic ties and Devo glasses were seen on Trojan bodies throughout the school. Spirit week also offered some nighttime events such as ping pong and volleyball tournaments, Burger King point night and the Campus Life burger bash. All of the week ' s activities were building and leading up to the climax, the Homecoming parade. When Friday finally arrived the parade in the boys gym featured Mrs. Sharon Jones and Mr. Byron Carrier as Grand Marshals. For the se- cond year in a row, the seniors lost the float com- petition. The sophomore class had the winning float with their interpretation of a church and the slogan, The Knights don ' t have a prayer. As the pep session Punk day was a tremendous success with a large number of students participating. Displaying their unique punk garb are sophomores Laura Lawrence.

And Wasted Knights It was a crowd of anxious Tro- jans that awaited the halftime activities on that chilly October night. In honor of Elmhurst ' s 50th anniversary, Mayor Win- field Moses presented the city ' s flag to Principal Richard Horstmeyer and Student Coun- cil President Thomas Filchak during a pregame show. For the members of the court, waiting must have seemed like eternity. Finally halftime did arrive, the Trojans were behind but that didn ' t seem to dampen anyone ' s spirit. The festivities began with the band giving an excellent perfor- mance on the field. Then, it was finally time to present the court to the crowd, First the freshman court was introduc- ed: Amy Arend, Jenny Druley, and Marie Heiney. The sophomore court included Julie Burt, Pam Stewart, and Sara Weaver. The junior court consisted of Peggy Arend, Tif- fany Bryant, and Lisa DeRoche. The senior court was compris- ed of Tonya Mudd, Laura Park, Sherry Parnin, Lisa Poorman and Jill Reinhart. At last the long awaited mo- ment surfaced. The 1980 Homecoming queen is . . . Lisa Poorman. The rest of the even- ing slipped away as the game ended with a Trojan defeat. The conclusion of the week ' s events was the Homecoming dance where the mood was lively as the night wasted away. Leading the anxious crowd in a rowdie little chant is senior Jul Gasvoda. The 1980 Homecoming court looks on as Lisa Poorman begins her reign as queen. Although the football team worked hard at trying to waste the Knights, the game ended in a Trojan defeat. r3 18 — Homecoming
