5 V I if . R Homecoming . . . Famous F1rst for Stevenson, Hope rode high on October 25. There was an extra bit of excitement in the air and school spirit was at its peak. The half-time festivities were alive with color and class competition for the best float. And topping off every touch- down was enthusiastic chaos, the waving of pom-pons, and dozens of balloons flying through the air. After all, a winning team, and Stevensons first official Homecoming was real- ly something to cheer about. For the first time, alumni as well as the student body crowded the stands to cheer the team on to victory. Three alumni cheerleaders, Suzy Pearson, Kathy Nykamp, and Kris Paul returned to their old posts. Jack Hoffman, last year's Mr. Spartan and the former queen, Linda Amerman returned to join in the parade. Classes and clubs were well-represented in the half-time show. The senior's ferry-boat paddled its way to victory in the float com- petition with the junior's train running a close second. And the sophomore's flying football showed a lot of originality. Together, they made the first Homecoming unforgettable. 84 Activities

Sue Hoffman and Karen Ward used a warm smile and a convincing word or two to sell peanuts for the March of Dimes. Mr. Massey pulled a big switch in the middle of the year when he went from his most promising job in the math de- partment to a more promising job as Student Activities Director. Senate Makes Good Showing Wu ,533 Running a Senate meeting from behind a piano was an unexpected problem for Cheryl Jurcisin. Who said females were the weaker sex? If this were true, the exception to the rule would be the OHQCQTS of the Senate who were of the female sex and anything but weak. In fact, the majority of Senate representatives were girls, with the guys taking a back seat in numbers. Having female officers didn't seem to affect the success of the Senate. Cheryl Jurcisin, Senate President, ran the many meetings and projects with assurance. Her leadership helped the peanut drive for the March of Dimes become a success. Another tribute to the Senate was the first Home- coming dance and the festivities accompanying it. Students exchange days under the supervision of Robyn Rosebrook became more and more frequent. Visitors included students from Bentley and Pontiac Northern, who came to Stevenson for a day to observe modular scheduling. Activities 83
