Club presidents and everyone connected with Home- coming affairs were relieved when the day dawned clear with only a light breeze present to hinder float moving operations. The students paraded their floats around the stadium before the game and again at halftime giving judges and spectators a chance to choose which float best exemplified the theme Wildcats Coming Home to Tradition and Pride . A tie for first place re- sulted between Digna-Phi Hi-Y which honored Olympic gold medalist Thompson Mann, and Delta Tri-Hi-Y, which honored the 'ctradition of foot- ballf' The Spanish Club finished a close third with 'fthe real thing.

tllftll II N Have it your way Great Bridge: Fast Food City. fsome- times, that isj. For anyone who was ad- dicted to hamburgers, pizza, subs, and good ole home cooking , the city was a paradise. Most students fell into that category. Running rampant in the halls of the school was the junk-food junkie syndrome. A typical day in the life of a junk-food junkie began with an early morning trip to Dutch Maid Donuts. Continuing on his way to school, the student found it useless to resist the call of Hot to go at 7-11. The morning classes at school were sheer torture. The junkie had to settle for sticks of gum and lifesavers popped quickly into his mouth when teachers were not looking, while he felt a gnaw- ing pain of starvation. Finally, lunch arrived. The junkie who wasn't too far gone ate a lunch brought from home. The junkie who was beyond hope was consuming Keating, neverll cafeteria food. The afternoon classes were as bad as the morning classes. The student sur- vived by the same stealthy methods. But as soon as school was over, the junkie made a bee-line to McDonald's, Gwen's, Dairy Queen, or Bucky's for those all-American junk food favorites, hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries. Sometimes, he even stopped by High's for an ice cream cone. How- ever, the junk food maniac had to carefully avoid the Jolly Frog which was on his way to McDonald's, since the thought of gourmet food repelled him. Soon, as the dinner hour ap- proached, the junkie felt himself drawn again to food. If he had nowhere else to go, he could sit down and eat at Rose's cafeteria or Great Bridge Inn. If he was expected home for dinner, he usually made a quick stop for extra- crispy at Kentucky Fried Chicken, or for some of the delacacies at Golden Skillet. The late night hours were perhaps the best for the junkie. He often felt a voice in his head saying, Italian, Ita- lian . So, the junkie made his way to one of four places: locally-run Mister Jim's for subs, Greek-Italian Chesapeake Pizzan, Italian Franco's or Pizza Hut, run by a group of smart businessmen up north. So, it was in this way the junkie's day ended. He staggered into his bedroom at some late hour, and flopped on his bed, wishing that somewhere a store that sold Alka-Seltzer was open. l A 'I of' , x 1' E., T 12 4 .4 -A K 'i an lhlll KS NNI IW The newest addition to the community, Dairy Queen, had double the fun, hamburgers and ice cream.
