976-77 was the year of SPARKLE. I could really tell the difference from last year, especially in the rallies. This year the Student Asso- ciation even gave rallies a whole class period, instead of making them optional or having them at lunch. Maybe that was part of the reason that the rallies were so spirited and successful. There wasn't a single rally that I couldn't hear either class yells or Marysville cheers. I can't ever remember when so many people came to the rallies. I wish they'd have rallies out in the parking lot sometime. Oh! . . . but I remember the Homecoming Parade started right in front of me. It all comes back to me now. . . all the classes aboard their floats . . . cheering . . . even horses prancing around . . . spirit was running wild. I'm sure glad I was there. I've never seen so many dances as there have been this year. During football season there must have been a dance every week-end. And of course, I remember those special once-a-year dances. I always look forward to those dances. I remember sometimes I didn't even recognize the kids . . . they look so different all dressed up! I keep looking in the window of the Student Center. . . and wonder . . . who is that? Speaking of not being able to recognize someone, I like those weird outfits that the kids dress up in on dress-up days. I remember kids running around in their paiamas, as little tots, or as Frankenstein. I was so thrilled when some kid even dressed up as me . . . a tree . . . I couldn't believe it! I remember the night before the Lindhurst game when my parking lot was full of kids with eggs . . . it was sort of vandalous . . . but exciting! I nearly got hit a few times. Maybe the MHS kids were protecting me, I remember the night when the movie company filmed in my parking lot . . . imagine me in a movie! That movie company STRUGGLED nearly two months filming the MHS students and campus. Some lucky students even got roles in the movie. That movie really caught the attention of everyone on campus. Another thing that interested kids again was going up to Woodleaf to be a counselor. I wish I could be one of the SKILLED counselors at Woodleaf. The way the kids talk in the parking lot about Woodleaf it sounds like a neat place. I remember some student counselors talking about how one boys' cabin raided the girls' cabin. It seems funny that with all these activities going on, the kids would be STRIVING to finish their studying. But these kids somehow seem to manage and are sometimes rewarded by the SYSTEM' with a scholarship. The SPARKLE of Marysville students, activities, dances, and rallies sure fi-.1 livened up another one of my many years in the MHS parking lot.

Festive Homecoming activities began on Wednesday, October 13, Tiger Hunter Day, as spirit-minded students displayed their pride by coming to school dressed as safari hunters ready to kill the Homecoming rival, the Roseville Tigers. On the following day, crazy glasses, zany hats, and bright, multi-colored socks were the predominant dress of the chic MHS student. By Friday, October 15, all students were high-spirited and ready for the sparkling afternoon and nightime activities. With all the classes entering their own float, a product of hard work, fun, and class rivalry, the Homecoming Parade marched down 18 street and into the football stadium where Rally Commissioner Dean Handy polished off the day's activities in a iam-packed rally. The Seniors were awarded first prize for their float, but the identities of the Homecoming Royalty remained anonymous, much to the displeasure of the crowd, until half-time of the game. That night during half-time, Jeannie Cameron was crowned Homecoming Queen with Jim Givens as the Homecoming King. Attending Jeannie were Princesses Vicki Hill and Jeanette Chiono. Steve Stassi and David McQuay were the elected princes. Following a frustrating varsity loss of 27-21 and an 8-8 JV tie, a sensational dance with a live band ended the 1976 Homecoming activities. With the revival of the Homecoming Parade, the traditional Homecoming week caught the attention of the whole student body of M.H.S. no Xilj i 1.
