Homecoming day I f you like rainy football games and being drenched to your bones. Homecoming was for you. The periodic rainfalls and grey skies did not deter the spirit or excite¬ ment of the students on that gloomy Saturday. The parade, with a Walt Disney theme, got off to a great start. There were 23 floats participating in the parade. Various groups, including Senior Midnight Riders, AFS and Varsity Basketball had floats. All the floats were impres¬ sive looking. The three that won prizes were Korean Club, with its paper mach£ Goofy; Senior Class Cabinet, with its Indian; and first place Orchestra, with its Pluto. Throughout the parade, chants were sung to show school spirit. The loudest and most noticeable chant was the one sung by Student Union members, Give me an I- n-D-l-A-n-S . Riding on the back of a dump truck was not too glamorous, but the Union girls did not let that spoil their fun and excitement. Junior Amy Chertow comment¬ ed, The ride was not worth getting soaked, but it wasn ' t too cold because the yelling and excitement kept me warm. ' ' Homecoming Queen and King, Tami Moss and Fred Pyter, made a fascinating couple at the parade and game. They rode on the king and queen float during the parade and were introduced at the game with their court. The Indians defeated Waukegan East 7-6. Hot chocolate and coffee sold during the game helped keep the specta¬ tors on their feet. This was truly one Homecoming to re¬ member! Anne Liasotos Although, wet and cold the Girls Varsity Volleyball Team and the Senior Midnight Riders show their school spirit in the homecoming 86 parade. Keeping dry are varsity cheerleaders Sandra Rodriguez, Lena Quilici, Angela Hargo, and Kelly Cordes. Umbrellas were not an uncommon sight at the rainy homecoming game. The Indian offensive line drives forward toward another great play against their tough opponents. They defeated Waukegan East and ful¬ filled their promise To grind the Bulldogs to Goofy chow.
