Cheers from o thousand throats heralded the last-second, 17-15 victory over LaPorte on October 5, 1984. But it didn ' t stop there. Minutes earlier during half-time amidst drum rolls and a hushed audience, Norma Bielich was crowned Homecoming Queen and Holly Laf- ferty as Princess. Chaired by Marcy Costas and Jamie Ni- land. Homecoming festivities were kicked off on Wednesday, October 3, with the junior- senior girls ' Powder Puff game. Coached by Mr. Mark Hoffman, the seniors edged ahead of Coach Todd Bennethum ' s juniors when Kristin Cook scored the only touchdown to win the game. Students also displayed spirit during Spirit Week, which began the preceding Monday with Hawaiian Day. Pajama Day and Jersey Day followed on Tuesday and Wednesday , with Sunglasses Day on Thursday and Fri- day ' s traditional Green and White Day. We organized the format at the begin- ning of the year, Marcy explained. Then we organized committees, especially for the dance. Amidst popcorn machines, footballs, and scoreboards, 143 couples attended A Night at the Stadium” on Saturday, October 6. Tick- ets were $6, and music was provided by B B. Marcy noted, Everything went well - there was a pretty positive response. — Pom Judson RELIEVED THAT IT ' S OVER, Home- coming Queen Norma Bielich and Princess Holly Lafferty relax after the excitement of half-time. 1984 HOMECOMING COURT: Regi- na Rumford, Kathy Scott, Queen Norma Bielich, Princess Holly Laf- ferty, Katy Garrett, Karla Doelling. 10 Homecoming
