MIClcaTVMD DONALD REVIVE SPIRIT CHILDHOOD FRJENDC RETURN FOR FfO UECO UIMG- Do you remember the familiar faces of Donald Duck, Goofy, Dumbo and good ol' Mickey Mouse? These almost forgotten childhood friends were revived in the 1977 Homecoming World of Disney. This year’s homecoming was characterized by many changes. First, all of the competitive activities (excluding the VW push and tug-of-war) took place at a two hour assembly instead of traditionally being held at the fairgrounds. Another change was that overall class spirit was judged throughout the entire week instead of just at the pep assembly. This helped to attribute to the tremendous enthusiasm that was displayed throughout the halls of MHS and to the community, where the students extended their spirit by raising over $2,000 for the United Fund. Class competition was fierce at the assembly as selected students hurriedly devoured such things as hot dogs, pie, ice tea, and ’Big Macs.' Accuracy was stressed in the jelly bean toss, egg on spoon, and balloon bust events. The wheel barrow, tennis shoe, gunny sack, and three legged races ignited class pride and spirit as students hinged for the finish line. The assembly was concluded with the presentation of the overall spirit award, which went to the seniors. The homecoming spirit didn’t end with the assembly but continued to the football game as the students of MHS cheered their team on to a shut-out victory over Twin Valley rival Sturgis. The victory was celebrated at the post-game dance and class competition was replaced by overall school pride. All in all, the 1977 homecoming will be one remembered by the students and faculty of Marshall High. Homecoming 15

'SAR£ TO US Who’s the greatest class of all whose spirit never ends . . . S-E-N-I-O-R Seniors are the best. Senior power, Senior power, we’re behind the Redskins all the way. Singing this rendition of the popular Mickey Mouse Club theme song and donning rodent-like ears and senior power t-shirts, the class of 77 made a grand entrance into the gym for the students' last homecoming pep assembly. The seniors had displayed an impressive amount of enthusiasm throughout the week by daily taking first place in the United Fund competition. But their spirit exploded at the pep assembly where the graduating class, determined to be unsurpassed by the underclassmen, squealed away with a victory by winning 11 out of 18 events. The seniors won the overall spirit award by completing the week with 135 points followed, but not too closely, by the Juniors with a 100.5 points. The seniors formed a spirit truck, that traveled in the parade to lend support to their fighting Redskin football team. To the faculty and students of MHS, and to members of the community, the seniors proficiently proved themselves to truly be the class whose spirit never ends.
