HOMECOMING 1983 Make It Great Homecoming ' 83 was surely one to remember. Enthusiastic students got into the Homecoming spirit by par- ticipating in the various class spon- sored events. Lunchtime events had students chugging rootbeer, struggl- ing through an obstacle course, try- ing their hand at voUebyall, and dan- cing to the sounds of a band. During the nights, there was ice skating, a movie, pizza, miniature golf, and Girls ' Volleyball vs. Bishop. Through the week, students and faculty waited eagerly for the big game against crosstown rivals Bishop Mon- tgomery. The day finally arrived. With the game just hours away, the pep squads put on a spirited pep ral- ly highlighted by the crowning of this year ' s Homecoming Queen , Jason Jessica Rackeman and the awarding of the spirit stick to the Sophomores. At the game, the Stars held the Knights to a final score of 17-17. Half time included the pep squads ' performance to this year ' s theme Make It Great , a presenta- tion from the Stars to Phil Jennings, and the crowning of Queen Gina Katnich. Her princesses are Amy Hershman, Renee Marinkovich, Jen- ny Sova and Tracy Walther. Satur- day ' s dance brought the star-studded week to a memorable close. 54 Activities Section

rALJVl rKlJ Hj UK KU lII! This year ' s student council started a new tradition, a summer weekend retreat which deals with planning events for the upcoming year. The council felt very positive and excited about the planned activities for the 1983-84 school year. But even more importantly, the council got to know each other a lot better. Each set of class officers and the ASB were responsible for cooking one meal during the weekend. E ach group planned a menu within a limited budget. Their first stop in Palm Springs was the grocery store. They all made a mad rush for the food, most of which was junk . Yes, the Palm Springs locals gave them the stare — but who cared? They were having a great time! Day sessions were held to plan 56 Activities Section upcoming events. There was even time for rest and relaxation. They also attended mass together on Saturday night. To end the trip with a bang, the van got a flat tire on the freeway — how typical! No one cared though because the weekend had been such a great success. The only regret some said, was eating too many twinkles and otter pops!!! 1. Oh my God, I don ' t believe I said that in front of Sr. Dorothea. 2. Our Palm Springs Gang. 3. The 3-J ' s — All American kids cookin ' up an all American meal! 4. FLAT as a pancake. 5. So this is what Amy and Jeanna look like in the morning! t
