Homecoming this year found the juniors with a variety of feelings; some were contentedly noncom- mittal, some were strongly opinionated and of course there were a few who just didn ' t care one way or another. I don ' t really care, to be truthful . sure I want to win Homecoming, but when it gets to the arguing that ' s when I begin to hate it. I think it ' s really bad when one class is sup- posedly better than another if you have a brother or sister in that class it ' s unbearable to ive at home. Decorating cars is good, but I don ' t think we should have to judge them. That ' s the only place ever get together with anyone from school our class should have somewhere else we can get to- gether ... like a ... a class retreat! Maybe we should just have a spirit week— but not competition . Homecoming doesn ' t always have to be competition — just a week of fun. I mean who has fun around here? Bob and Helen have fun, no one else does. I think what brings about spirit is the compe- tition we just don ' t have any spirit because we aren ' t winning . it ' s always ' be number one ' — but who remembers number two? When it gets to be hate between the classes that ' s when the fun and meaning goes out . . it ' s only one week out of the year ... These feelings and others put together, spelled a well-deserved second place victory over the Frosh and Sophomores for the class of ' 73. Known around campus as the guy with the beard who wears purple andvchartreuse on the same day, Pastor Bill Schmeling teaches gobs and gobs of religion classes. He good-na turedly refers to himself as Dickie Meyer ' s un- derstudy for Religion Department chairman. He feels all classes would be more effective iMhere were ' not so many kids in a class and not so many classes per teacher. He thinks he could contribute more to a student ' s per- spective of his own creativity by teaching less and learning more. Chateau Lonueville-Pauitlec Medoc-1964, i brings out Pastor Schmeliiiig ' s more creative moments. Asked if Christians should still cele- brate Creation,- he replied. I doubt, if we have any choice. It ' s in us; we ' re in it. Life hurries on! When asked to redefine create in me , he answered without hesitation, make it happen Lord! Descending from 3 long Line of hardy pea- sant stock he finds sprucing up liis backyard most rewarding . I can experience the marvelous interdependence of the biospheie irsthand. As a sponsor of the class o he best ever and predicted te says. There ' re good head: 73. feels it ' s a fantastic year, at the helm and vity and -pazazz t» see ' bang-up finish

La Wanda Avery Sharon ! Lionel Brazelton Pamela Crummie Helen Eggers remembers number two? 1. Nimbleness and numbness put together a winning pyramid. 2. A victim of the Depression, Chris Sock takes advantage of dress-up days. 3. Their brute strength and gritting teeth and the encouraging yells of their classmates couldn ' t quite pull the Jun- iors through this one.

Do you have a better idea? Talking to the kids about the Clean-up Campaign, most were found to be rather doubtful as to it ' s success — most were upset at the idea of getting out of school early just because they did something they should have been doing anyway I don ' t think you should have to bribe people into cleaning up the campus But I think that ' s the only way you ' re gonna get them to do anything they ' re gonna do something more if they get something out of it. I ' m not going to work my buns off all week long just to get out of school early. It isn ' t worth it for me I don ' t have a babe to come home to I don ' t think people even realize they ' re doing it, I know I never thought much about it until it was brought to my attention. It ' s not going to work— the red flag is up all the time and that means we ' re not doing our job. Most people don ' t care, they ' d rather go to school the extra forty minutes than pick up paper. I think most people don ' t want to bother they don ' t think of what the school would look like if the janitors didn ' t come every night and clean up they expect someone else to pick it up for them. We were brought up like it didn ' t matter people are gonna have to wake up. Bribing people may be a bad way of doing it — but if it ' s gonna work, do you have a better idea?
