l e-rrute cf parade causes ccnfusicn l 1 was entertained by the screaming cheers of the var- sity cheerleaders, football coaches and players. After the pep session the huge pile of wood was set on fire, and the crowd of people moved back and watched the fire’s orange flames turn the woodpile to ash. I ' m glad I remembered there would be a parade, but too bad I came into the picture too early. I sat on Ridge Road for an hour and waited for the pa- rade, but it never came, so I began to walk back to school. On the way back, I heard mu- sic and I said to myself, No, it couldn’t be!” But yes it was . . . the Marching Mustangs along with the Drill Team, Majorettes and Flag and Rifle Corps. How could I have forgotten! With the construction on Ridge Road the parade had to be re- routed so it went down Harri- son Avenue and back over to the school. Back at school, the home- coming events were still going on. My nose immediately di- rected me to where the Speech and Debate Team was cooking the annual barbecued chicken dinner. For only a quarter, I was able to go inside the track to watch some high school students re- live their childhood days of trike riding. The Office Educa- tion Association (OEA) was holding their annual trike race. Awards were given to the teams with the best costumes, and the overall race winners. With all the activities of the day behind me, I looked for- ward to the night when the float winner, and QUEENIE would be announced! At half- time, the band marched out on the field and the homecoming court was announced as they walked towards the home side. Frosh princess, Pam Thomae, sophomore princess, Leann Laskey, junior princess, Sue Emhuff and senior princesses Cheryl Kish, Jill Kovack and TOP: ALL OUT EFFORT. Although they worked everyday in hopes of producing a winner, the juniors ' scarecrow still only managed to capture second place. ABOVE: PEE WEE WHEELERS.

Student Senate President, Bob Young, and Vice-President, Nan Or- lich, announced the results of the float competition. Third place went to the sophomore float with the theme, “We’ll Shine Tonite”. Second place went to the junior float with the theme, “Either Way It ' s a Mus- tang Victory”, and the winner was the seniors’ with “Rust in Peace” as their theme. On Saturday morning, I re- membered that Harry Engle- bomb had asked me to the dance. How could I have said yes! The dance was held in the cafeteria which was cleverly transformed into the “Land of Oz”. Freshmen servers, dressed in munchkin outfits, greeted couples at the door and served the refreshments. The band “Axe’’ provided the music for the evening. I could not believe it! Not only did Harry look half way decent in a suit, but he could dance too! After the dance, we went to eat. I was having such a good time that I didn’t get home until three in the morning! When I arrived on my front porch, I was greeted by a familiar face. It looked as though beneath the cold cream and curlers, it could have been my mother. Her disguise made her look more as if she were the wicked witch of the west! As I walked past her, she yelled! “Do you realize what time it is? Just wait until your father hears about what time you got in.” I can’t believe how an other- wise perfect dream could turn out to be such a nightmare. As I walked into my bedroom, I thought to myself, THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, THERE ' S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.” BELOW: TURN ' EM AGAIN!
