Class competition accents homecoming Five days of sheer excitement and glorious weather accented the week of homecoming 78. Classes were working hard and fast to complete their prize floats and at the same time participating in the many spirited activities. Hat Day, Sock Day, and Slave Day helped to raise the spirit of the school as everyone got himself involved. A new activity. Class Competition Day, highlighted the Friday preceeding the homecoming weekend. The entire school was dismissed at noon and allowed to compete in class contests ranging from a three-legged race to egg tossing. The Class of 79 proceeded to capture first place in the float competition for their fourth consecutive year. The winning float, following the theme ‘‘We Are the Champions,” consisted of a Champion spark plug zapping a Berthoud player. Following the Seniors were the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. Hall decorations were conquered by the Juniors. The Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen followed respectively. Accentuating the annual homecoming dance was the theme “Life’s Been Good.” Here King Greg Austin and Queen Sharon Dermody were crowned royalty of 78. Other candidates included Tracy Atkins, Fara Haughey, Steve Abrames, and Shon Dermody. THINK PINK. The senior girls’ homecoming trophy (above) is displayed in the courtyard of the school.
