Floats or not, that was question Tuesday night proved to be a mi- lestone Powder Puff game in many respects. First the tur- nout for the seniors was much larger than expected. Organization was more evident in every team. Shaving cream and egg fights occurred after nearly ev- ery practice. The actual game was played in War- rior stadium with the juniors defeating the seniors. Junior Angie Geryak commented, They played a good game, but it was a real neat feeling to know our team beat the seniors. Senior Trent Moss will be able to tell his grandchildren that on Wednesday of Homecoming Week he paraded with a whole gang of other crazy guys to win the title of Mr. Warren Central 1984. Eight contestants competed for the crown judged on bathing suit, suit and tie and performing categories. Dress days were a real success with Toga Day a favorite and students dressed in little more than mom ' s sheets doing like the Latins do. Homefest, sponsored by the PTA Council, was a great success but created some problems for the traditional events of the high school Homecoming. For ex- ample, the 5K Run created problems for those wanting to pick up their 1985 Wig- wam after school hours, since the area was blocked off in the safety of the run- ners. The Homecoming Dance was also changed as a result of Homefest activi- ties and use of facilities. Another reason for changing the dance was so that foot- ball players, who would be busy after the game with team activities, could attend the game. But on Saturday night, the dance was held in the cafeteria and foyer area, sponsored by the Student Council. Let ' s go crazy Warrior Style, proved to be a theme that lived up to its name.

Largest, rowdiest crowd there... w hen walking into the Warrior Arena, it stands out and .... catches your attention. Al- though it is hung amidst all the others that are exactly the same, it seems differ- ent. Maybe it ' s different because it was the first time, or maybe it is different be- cause of all the hopes and dreams that went into it. Whatever it is, the black and gold banner that reads 1984 Class AAAA State Football State Champs is very special. On Nov. 28, the Warrior football team defeated the Brickies of Hobart High school for the coveted championship banner and trophy. Played in the Hoosier Dome before a crowd of thousands of screaming fans, the Warriors trounced the Brickies by a score of 28-8. The largest crowd ever watching a high school championship game in Indiana kept the excitement go- ing and their team ' s spirit high. I think the crowd helped a lot. I couldn ' t believe that so few people could make so much noise, said Coach Jerry Stauffer. But the team was so excited, that even if only three people had showed up, they would still have been enthusiastic, he went on to say. Even after the Warriors were assured a victory late in the fourth quarter, the crowd continued to be rowdy. Even though there was only a small group of us, we kept the crowd going. It was funny because we smuggled in over 100 rolls of toilet paper and confetti, and no one questioned us, and we got really wild, said senior Kathi Pfluger. Man of the hour junior quarterback Jeff George takes a break in the game. Jeff has been listed as one of the top high school quarterbacks in the nation by USA Today. Isn ' t it beautiful, team members accept the State Championship trophy from a representative of the IH- SAA. A few anxious moments is reflected by the faces of the J.V. Cheerleaders. Days-| 24
