- Homecoming spirit! Weekend cant — conti nued Finally the awaited weekend came! We all pitched in to create a spirited pep session that gave us one last chance to scream at the top of our lungs before the game that evening. Amid all the cheering, several male members of each class got fired up when they were blind- folded and told to expect a smack on the lips from cheerleaders. After being kiss- ed, they guessed which cheerleaders were responsible. Because their eyes were under cover, little did each one know that their mothers did the kiss- ing. Although the cheerleaders didn ' t do the honors, at least their mothers loved them! That night, Apache warriors charged onto the field through a tunnel formed by hundreds of W.H.S. fans. Even though our team put up a tough fight, Wabash fans left dissapointed as Southwood took the game with a single point, the final score being 7-6. All was not lost though. Hal ftime ceremonies were held in the warmth of a 70 degree heat wave. They included the crowning of Kent Mullett and Caroline Martin as Homecom- ing King and Queen and Tom Mattern was awarded with the title of Mr. Alumni for 1982. In addition, class floats were displayed so everyone could ap- preciate the hard work that was invested in each one. The Senior float tooks honors as the best with a theme based on the movie E.T., which became a box office blockbuster in the sum- mer of 1982. From kick off until touchdown, all of Homecoming was a good time for everyone. A lot of effort was put forth to in- sure a great outcome. Float builders worked long and hard to build the best float. Our foot- ball team began practicing twice a day that week so they could give it their best shot that Friday. And we got to shed our school clothes and dress in not- so-tradional outfits for a week. All of this for one weekend! What could be a better time than that? « ■ !■ ' • ■ ttL S M M es m r Homecoming Court.

After all of the sore muscles and roar of the crowds, points were tallied and each class finished in its consecutive order from 12-7.
