The showing of the movie, The Buddy Holly Story, kicked off Homecoming Week following with a day set aside for wearing fall sport jerseys, or something black and gold. Class competition was brought back in an effort to obtain more unity. We've had real good results, said Bryon Reusser, STUCO president. We tried to get more unity through more and more competi- tion. A lot of people were trying to beat the other classes and that brought more unity. The competition included money jars, hall decorations, spirit assembly, wig and grodie day, and overall, hat and button day. The winners of the money jars went as follows: sophomores-first, seniors-second, juniors-third, and freshmen-fourth. Hall decorations awarded the seniors with first, sophomores-second, juniors- third, and freshmen-fourth. 14 HOMECOMTNG The sophomores captured first place atfthe spirit assembly, followed by the seniors with second, juniors got third, and freshmen cap- tured fourth. During wig and grodie day, the winners were: freshmen-first, juniors-second, seniors-third, and sophomores-fourth. Overall, hat, and button day found sopho- mores on top, seniors-second, juniors-third, and freshmen-fourth. The concourse was full all during the week with students buying class spirit buttons from STUCO, Fiailer pennants from HERO, and mums from DECA, OEA 'sold pop and caramel apples during hall decorations to nourish the hard workers. The hard workers were given a break the following night, as they watched the 1979 Homecoming Parade roll down lVlain Street. Following the parade a bonfire was held near the rodeo grounds at Athletic Park. But there was still more to look forward to. As always, coronation is one of the high points of Homecoming Week.
