Bitter cold didn ' t Home! prevent fans from enjoying the game T he strange thing about the floats was that they looked like my friends. There was one of Linus, Charlie Brown, and even one of myself. I didn ' t understand. The rest of the afternoon was really fun. There were field events and even a trike race. Although the Homecoming Dance is an evening to be spent with a date, these students take time out to share this dance with friends. By this time I had gotten quite hungry, but fortunately, there was a chicken barbeque going on at the school. After I stuffed myself at dinner, I found that I was quite tired. But, soon I found there was more to do. People from all over the place were going to the football field. This made me think of home, when Lucy would always pull the ball away just before Charlie Brown could kick it. I started to get a bit homesick, but there was so much going on and so much excitement that I soon forgot home. It was getting quite dark out by now, and I hid under the bleachers just in case the Red Baron might be planning a surprise attack. I remember it was bitterly cold, but there was so much excitement in the air that I don ' t know if the weather was bothering anyone else. Soon, before I knew it, it was halftime and Munster was beating Chicago Simeon 21 -6. I had a hard time hearing the announcements during halftime because of all the screaming. Suddenly it grew quiet and I heard senior Student Body President Debbie Markovich, say that senior Joni Stauffer escorted by junior John Hasse, had been voted queen. The crowd was so estatic that I even found myself jumping up and down. The Freshman princess was Lisa Delgado escorted by freshman Jim Kovach; the Sophomore princess was Irene Fabisiak escorted by sophomore Mike Bukowski; and the Junior princess was Maureen Mellady escorted by junior, Greg DePorter. The seniors had two princesses along with their queen. They were Judy Brauer escorted by senior, Craig Smith, and Cathy Reppa escorted by sophomore John Sakelaris. As the excitement of being crowned Homecoming queen set in, senior |oni Stauffer wipes tears of joy from her eyes. Standing before the crowd after receiving their roses is the Homecoming court of princesses: ' freshman Lisa Delgado and escort jim Kovach; juniors Maureen Mellady and escort Greg DePorter; senior Cathy Reppa with escort, sophomore )ohn Sakelaris; Queen, senior )oni Stauffer and escort, junior )ohn Hasse; senior princess Judy Brauer and escort, senior Craig Smith; and sophomores, princess Irene Fabisiak with escort Mike Bukvich. 22— Homecoming
