Looney Tunes Streaming confetti, decorated halls, knock school daffy t was graduation day and I be- came a bit nostalgic. I decided to take one final tour of the school for old times sake. Walking in a somewhat trance-like state, I began thinking about what the future held for me. Suddenly . . . crash! I could not re- member anything, except that I woke up with a splitting headache. I felt as if I had been sleeping for years like Rip Van Winkle, only soon to find out, Trapping Daffy. Holding the Junior Class mascot, juniors Lori Jarrett and Georgia Tsako- poulous show their class spirit before the pa- rade. Mourning Porky. Taps fill the air as the Soph- omore Class mourns their float, Porky Pig ' s death, while the floats are judged at the Chris- tian Reformed Church. it had been just a year. Every bone in my body ached. As I stood up shakily, I looked around and everything seemed different. I felt like I had been to a big pajama party. Students were coming at me with rollers in their hair, cold cream on their faces and ratty bathrobes and wooly pajamas on their bodies. If only I had known that I would be surround- ed by colorful, bright jerseys the next day and be pricked by a cowboy ' s spur and practically scalped by an In- dian ' s tomahawk, I would have con- tinued sleeping. It was somewhere be- tween feeling like I was in kiddieland and feeling right at home in the loo- ney toon atmosphere that I realized it must be Homecoming spirit week. What was that you said? We went to a camp that gave us all these new ideas,” stated junior Lisa Trilli, cheer- leader. Eekkk! I was almost run over by a stampede of students heading out to the pep assembly. The warm October breeze seemed unusual during this time of year. Suddenly, rolls of toilet- paper bombared my body and multi- colored confetti showered my head as I searched for a place to sit among this very spirited bunch. I think spir- it week and all the activities came out better than they have in the past few years. The pep rally was better be- cause more people were there with signs and confetti, explained junior Cathy Cerajewski. Fine, feathered friend. Daffy duck is ready to knock out the competition as it prepares to join the parade procession. Homecoming J ‘

Putting the finishing touches on the float, junior Karen Eggers hur- ries to make flowers in order to complete the last skirt. The moment the students look for- ward to, a half day of school in order for the students to go put the finish- ing touches on their floats, was here. It was 2 p.m. and the floats had already been judged. The parade trav- eled out of the Christian Reformed Church parking lot and down Ridge Road. The seniors Peped up with Pepe le Pue, while the juniors Knocked ’em Daffy” with Daffy Duck. A Marching Band member played ‘ Taps as the sophomores Hammed it up around Porky Pig ' s grave. As a group of darkly clothed sopho- mores, each sporting a black arm band, stood solemnly by their de- ceased float, one sophomore ex- plained that due to constructional problems the last night of float build- ing, Porky became bacon.” Explain- ing the improvised float, Sophomore Class sponsor Mr. Robert Wendall, mathematics teacher said, “under the circumstances that was the best we could do. Sleeping for a year certainly builds up an appetite. The Speech and De- bate members planned for a lot of hungry people as they cooked 1150 chicken halves and served 270 pints of potato salad, along with 2400 rolls for their annual Chicken Barbeque. By 7:30 that evening, the Mustangs and Calumet Warriors had taken to the field for the Friday night game. The game’s excitement kept the crowds ' minds busy and away from the halftime anticipation of who would be queen and which class float would reign victorious. Before I knew it, time had passed and it was time for the announcing of the homecoming royalty, which in- cluded princesses Christine Halas, freshman: Linda Zondor, s ophomore; Tara Stevens, junior; seniors Nanette Kish, Terri Mahler and queen Ann Brodersen. Suddenly the wild crowd turned silent as the Junior Class float, Daffy Duck, took first place; the Sen- ior Class float, Pepe La Pue won sec- ond place; while the Sophomore Class took third. Just as I thought all the excitement Technically speaking. While looking over the senior float framework plans, seniors Robert Fitzgibbons and Brian Luberda discuss the con- struction of the float, Pepe Le Pue. Homecoming 13
