chaos As the parade ended, the floats were placed at the end of the football field to await half- time festivities and the judges’ final results. Directly across from the rest- ing floats, Speech and Debate Team members were busy flip- ping a nd cooking chicken for their annual Chicken Barbeque Dinner. While the dinner did not begin until 4:30 p.m., the chick- en turners had been at work since school was dismissed at 1 1 a.m. Following the barbeque, the fans rolled into the stands for the 7:30 p.m. game. Keeping in line with the rest of Homecom- ing, the game had also been kicked” by an uncontrollable incident. Earlier in the week, a milestone occurred when 20 Crown Point football players, the rivals of the week, were sus- pended due to an infraction of training rules. With this news, the question arose whether the Munster-Crown Point match would be played at all. The match did go on as scheduled. As one senior foot- ball tri-captain, Nick Pokrifcak stated, “it made it a less excit- ing game for us to play. We were predicted to win, so that made it harder to prepare for, since it was a difficult game to take seriously.” Although traditional rivalry was missing, the stands were full of cheers as half-time ac- tivities began. Following the usual halftime routines by the Marching Band, Drill Team, Flag and Rifle Corp, Student Body President Ed Go- mez, senior, introduced the class princesses. Due to a tie, four senior princesses, instead of the usual three, represented their class, including Marisa Gederian, who was later crowned queen, Gena Faso, Caryn Mott and Mari Sartain. Other princesses included ju- nior Eva Zygmunt, and sopho- continued WITH HAMMER IN hand, Mark Luberda, Senior Class president, prepares to connect two boards tor Dig Em ' s head.

more Karen DeCola, freshmen Mary Kay Capp and Emily Sett- ing also tied as class prin- cesses. Following the crowning, float winners were announced. The bleachers sounded with tri- umph as the junior float of Tony the Tiger ' s “Munster is Grreat, captured first place. The seniors, losing by one point, took second place with “Dig ' Em a Grave.” The sopho- mores settled for third place with Milton the Toaster’s slo- gan “Burn ’Em.” One float judge, Mrs. Ruth Stout, art teacher explained, the floats were much harder to grade this year because they were really close. For example, where one class may have ex- celled in coloring, another may have excelled in construction.” Afterwards, floats were tak- en off the field and dismantled at a nearby dump site. Freshmen were busy depict- ing Kellogg’s characters during the week-long activities. Deco- rations were posted in the cafe- teria Saturday morning for the dance held Saturday night. Once Snap, Crackle and Pop were on the walls, the freshmen appeared, dressed as an as- sortment of characters, to serve for the dance. “Overall the dance was real- ly fun; the band was great and the decorations showed a lot of hard work on the part of the freshmen,” said senior Jeanine Gozdecki. Like the saying goes, “it nev- er rains, but it pours.” This say- ing applied to many aspects of Homecoming, yet junior Elyse Grossman summed it up best by saying, “despite all the compli- cations with Homecoming, I still think it’s safe to say that overall it was a ‘grreat’ Homecoming.” AT $7 A couple, Homecoming tickets were more than a piece of paper.
