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.

ln the fall rallies, MHS's new Student Center was the focus of a reinvigorated school spirit. Capacity crowds of lively students contributed to the rallies' success. As a new spirit-grabbing feature, each class was assigned to one of the four corners of the building. By using this new seating arrangement, devised by Rally Commissioner Dean Handy, the organization and enthusiasm of class yells improved over previous years. The class yells were a popular part of each rally where students had the chance to use their lung-power to exhibit their superiority over the other classes. The rivalry sharpened as class competition revealed itself in balloon blowing, banana eating, and pencil dropping. Stuffing students in refrigerator boxes was the high point of the Marysville vs. Lindhurst Rally. One of the few rallies not held in the Student Center was the freshman rally. Highlighting the frosh rally on November 4 was an egg-catching contest which quickly disintegrated into an egg-throw among a few rowdy seniors. The memorable Homecoming Rally, held in the football stadium following the Homecoming Parade, presented a procession of immodest males marching around in their underdrawers and football helmets. MHS Band and Pep Squad performed at every rally, adding an unmistakable sparkle to each of the fall rallies. 1 7 i A - . ..:.' i't'21iiE' f 'f .W S ' Y, , l:.f11v.li.-'ii M'-2 alsl .
