'rf f , My To help soothe bitter feelings and strengthen communications ties, KOBO superstars challenged the MHS faculty to a benefit basketball game in mid- December. One of the area schools that were offered this chance to participate in a purely money-raising game. The 5176.05 collected from ticket soles went into the construction of an outdoor theater near the Student Center. Many students felt this game came at a very appropriate time following a rather controversial over-the-air editorial concerning freshmen hazing and the supposed Marysville fight song. Heated students expressed their anger with threats of boycott against the local radio station. Much debate revolved around the decision to accept the offer of playing, and numerous council and senate meetings were held concerning it. Student Association President Lon Hatamiya stated that there would be no harm in playing, and besides being all profit, it might improve relations. Both KOBO disc iockeys and MHS faculty played a driving game, with the MHS faculty finishing over the KOBO superstars 63-49. Leading scorers were Charger Charles with I6 points and KOBO DJ Dave Shore with 22 points. At half-time, door prizes were awarded to Lisa Kaufman, Mark Anderson, Carolyn Shawles, Diane lshimoto, and Brenda Welch. KOBO's Dave Shore whipped-creamed fellow DJ Rick Corrigan to start the half of the game with some excitement. Concluding the game and highlighting the action, the pie-in-the-face contest took place. Principal Charlie Berger presented KOBO DJ Liz Fulton with a pie while Liz did likewise to Coach Ken Griffin. Its,

With the festivities of Basketball Homecoming planned on the last game of the season, the coronation of Homecoming King and Queen brightened up an otherwise disappointing season. Homecoming activities included a 50's dress-up day, a stimulating Pep Squad rally, the last game of the ping-pong tournament, and the traditional dance. On February 25, students rummaged some 20 years back through moms' and dads' old cedar chests and moth-balled garments to find the appropriate attire of a typical 50's guy or gal. Rolled-up ieans, leather iackets, ponytails, and bobby socks were seen on MHS students. Held during seventh period, the Pep Squad directed the Homecoming Rally. Pep Squad members originated and performed three skits, but the moments that the students were waiting for was still to come. Being posted in the showcase by South Auditorium, the names of the homecoming finalists were announced. The six-Lon Hatamiya, Ted Melden, Dean Handy, Gigi Reggi, Judy Rooney, Nancy Peterson-were called down from the audience before the crowd of expectant students. Gigi Reggi was erowrneol Homecoming Queen with Lon Hatamiya as her escort. Both Games turned disappointingly in Del Oro's favor in the homecoming battle, with varsity losing by an unbelievable l point! During half-time, Van Ray defeated Steve Lamon in the final round of the intramural ping-pong tournament. Royalty was officially announced at half-time of the varsity game as the Queen and her attendants were given red roses by their escorts. While the game was being played, the band Black Nature was arranging and adiusting ear-popping equipment in the adjoining Student Center. Throughout the night, approving comments were heard about the band who was recommended by YCHS. Nearing midnight, the customary royal dance was dedicated to the homecoming royalty.

Marysville High School students participated in a wide spectrum of community-related functions this year and at the same time gained both independence and responsibility. Whether working for their own purpose or for school sponsored ROP classes, MHS students showed an interest in community affairs. Many students earned a little extra spending money while being employed at the local fast food chains-Jack-in-the-Box or McDonalds-or by participating in ROP classes in several down-town business. On the other hand, students took part in community matters for enioyment. Along with being a counselor, a week long stay at Woodleaf beckoned many iuniors and seniors. Another facet of community involvement were charity projects. Serving as Peppermints at the Rideout Hospital, girls performed volunteer work such as distributing newspapers and flowers, selling candy, or iust cheering up the patients. The annual Walk-A-Thon sponsored by the March of Dimes and the new Rock-and-Roll-A-Thon sponsored by The American Health Care Association sent many students into the community asking for helpful donations for a worthy cause. Informing the community of current MHS experiences through the Independent Herald, Kathy Mikkelson composed a weekly column appearing in the local newspaper every Saturday. At other times, Marysville students were invited to speak at community gatherings such as Rotary Club meetings and AFS International Dinners. Summer jobs also involved students with the community as students were employed at local stores and businesses, produce and harvesting corporations, or CETA programs.
