O n a street in a world of childhood dreams, the muppets gathered around Big Bird ' s nest in excite- ment. It was a beautiful day filled with laughter and sunshine. Many days earlier they had been invited to participate in the Homecoming activities at Munster High School. They did not want to waste another beautiful day, so they packed their bags and set off. Over hills and valleys, through brooks and rivers, they marched on singing and dancing. All, that is, except for Oscar the Crouch. He constantly complained about their happy mood. Over the rumble Ernie was heard to ask, “Can you tell me how to get to Munster? As they finally walked into town, they couldn ' t believe their eyes. It was like a home away from home. Surprises had been constructed for the muppets. Before their arrival, students worked day and night on the floats. But it wasn ' t all work. Tuesday night, seeing that construction of their float was com- ing along slowly, some seniors created a S.W.A.T. team. Dressed in dark jackets and equipped with toy guns, they set out for the sophomore float. They intended to harmlessly kidnap sophomores to make them help on the senior float. The muppets arrived in time to partici- pate in “Spirit Week . Along with the students, they dressed up in jeans and jerseys, costumes, gangster and nostalgic outfits, formals, and the school colors, red and white. The excitement had just begun. Thurs- day night they were escorted to the bon- fire at Community Park. Bert and Ernie were astonished at the huge pile of wood.The destruction of the shelter was one contribution to the size of the woodpile. The muppets stood in awe as the wood was set ablaze. They were startled as hundreds of firecrackers ex- ploded the head of the dummy pirate. Everyone cheered with enthusiasm. Un- like previous years, there wasn ' t a pep session. But this did not matter to the muppets. The spirit of the school was quite obvious to them.
