Hot tputed of the Christian Reformed Church parking lot. As the floats made their final tour and ended the parade, the Speech and Debate Team mem- bers were getting out their secret recipe for their annual chicken barbeque fundraiser. Twelve hun- dred people headed towards the cafeteria for a filling meal before evening ' s major event, the foot- ball game. There was a lot of enthusiasm towards the game with Calumet, but also there was tension as the Homecoming court sat nervously on the sidelines waiting for half- time. Students were also a bit tense as they anticipated the deci- sion of the winning float. With determination to get ahead, the football players domi- nated the field, never giving op- portunity for Calumet to score. We played really well on both of- fense and defense. We made very few mistakes, according to head coach Leroy Marsh. The spectators were riled up as the halftime score read 14-0. The Drill Team, Band and Flag Corps gave the players a chance to rest as they started off the halftime pro- ductions. Freshman princess Susie Higgins, along with sophomore Goran Krajl were the first to walk down the field. Next in line came sophomore princess Cathy Labi- tan, accompanied by sophomore Rick Camiga. Junior princess An- drea Petrovich with junior Robert Kish were the last couple to walk down the line before the queen candidates. Senior queen candi- dates were Georgia Megremis, with senior escort Mike Gonzales; Linda Zondor, with senior Dave White; and Kathy Wojcik, accom- panied by senior Rick Blaney. Georgia was crowned queen. Three weeks of hard work was finally going to be recognized by the announcement of the winning float. The Senior Class float was voted the winner with Smurf- ette to ' em. Second place finisher was the junior float: Doo ' em in with Scooby Doo. Coming in third place, We ' re Bamn Sweet was Homecoming

Hot spotted the sophomore float of Bamn Bamn. Sophomores didn ' t come out completely behind because they captured the spirit award, which is given for the most enthu- siasm. It was a good evening as the Mustangs were victorious over Calumet with a score of 35-0. Not all students got to recuper- ate from the busy day. Freshmen were pulled out of bed to create murals, favors, and other decora- tions for the dance. Saturday after- noon was quite hectic as students were picking up their flowers, buying film, and getting dressed for the evening. After posing for pictures at their homes, students were ready to kick up their heels and head to- wards the dance floor. Student Government broke the traditional habit of a band with a disc jockey at the dance. The disc jockey was a lot better than the band because it played the music everyone wanted to hear. More people were dancing at this dance than past dances. explained junior Kelly Harle. The D.J. was fantastic and so were the decorations compared to last year, stated senior Mirko Marich. Overall, the dance was a success according to Student Government sponsor David Spitzer, English teacher. The turnout was supris- ingly good and we had no financial problems. The prices of the tickets decreased from $12 to $10 from the previous year. As the clock struck 11:30 p.m. some students realized that this was their last Homecoming dance and to others this was the first of many dances which they had ahead of themselves. Raindrops seemed unfortunate to the Senior and Junior Class floats, while the Sophomore Class could have gone through major storms with their plastic-wrapped float. But as in the Saturday morn- ing cartoons, no matter how bad the situation seems, the finishing picture is ideal.
