Seniors Reign as Homecoming Champs During Homecoming week, Marshall High School was full of pride. The week be- gan on Tuesday because of inservice day on Monday. Many of the students participated in the daily dress up. Tuesday was hat day, Wednesday was impersonate- a-cardinal day, Thursday was cartoon day, and Friday was the traditional red and black day. As the week slowly progressed, the students became more and more excited for Thursday nights' events. They included: the hula hoop contest, the tricycle race, the balloon toss, the frisbee toss, and the tug-of-war. By the end of the night, the seniors had taken the lead. Friday the students piled into the gym for the final competition. These events included: the crutch race, the jellybean toss, the uniform race, the jump rope contest, and the Big Mac eating contest. With each event, the excitement of every person expanded. As the assembly came to an end, the stu- dents built up all the energy they had left, and began the class com- petition cheer. The juniors were victorious in this event, but did not manage to beat the seniors in the overall scoring. The assembly ended with the seniors in first place. They were 25 points ahead of the juniors, who came in second. The sophomores were in third and the freshmen finished fourth. Friday evening, the Coldwater Cardinals were taken by surprise as the Redskins went on to a 17-0 victory. All the fans packed into the home stands and cheered the football players on to a victorious Homecoming. All in all, this year's Homecoming proved to be an ex- citing and eventful one to be remembered. 10

Students unite in Homecoming As soon as the lawn display theme was announced, stu- dents began to pull togeth- er for Homecoming. Throughout the week there were dress up days. On these days students wore hats, cartoon costumes, pajamas, togas, and the traditional red and black. During Thursday night's activities the classes were very spirited and worked together. Activities included the hula hoop competition, the frisbee throw, the inner tube race, body language, and the very com- petitive tug of war. When the stu- dents gathered together for the tra- ditional bonfire, the seniors were ahead, but Friday was yet to come. When Friday finally arrived, the lawn displays were completed and the students were all keyed up . During the Friday afternoon assem- bly each class competed in the ob- stacle course, jello sucking, jump rope. Big Mac eating, the uniform race, and many more. As the as- sembly progressed, each class united into a powerful, spirited group. All afternoon the classes worked very hard, but when it came time for the class competition cheer, every- one cheered even more. After the assembly, the point total confirmed the seniors were the victors. Winding up Homecoming, the football team wiped out the Coldwater Cardinals 17-0. In the end the students weren't seniors and underclassmen, they were all the Marshall Redskins and very proud. You're pretty smurfysays Rachelle Law- rence, Ms. Magnus, Kathy Bowen and Mi- chelle Bayley to Mr. Davis. The winning lawn display by the seniors is a colorful representation of the cartoon theme.
