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

Dance Features ueen, lVlr. Spartan Posters of early athletes in Stevenson's history covered the walls of the gym as the Famous Firsts theme of the game carried over to the first Home- coming Dance. The week prior to the festival was filled with the usual hectic preparations for the dance. The court was chosen and students were eagerly awaiting the announcement of the queen and Mr. Spartan. When the big weekend finally arrived, the dance was turned into a victory celebration, as the game against Waterford added another notch to what was to be Stevenson's perfect 8-0 record. Students milled around for hours, and as the excite- ment grew to a peak, a momentous roar was heard from the junior class, announcing that Rusty Gregg, a junior, had been chosen Mr. Spartan. The seniors, not willing to be outdone, made more noise as a radiant Debbie Piper was crowned queen. By 11:00 the theme of the dance, Try to Remember, made more sense than usual, as Homecoming 6'8 proved to be a dance that would not be easily forgotten. Homecoming Queen Debbie Piper smiled radiantly as she proudly accepted her flowers. Rusty Gregg, newly elected Mr. Spartan, received con- gratulations frorn a former winner, Jack Hoffman. 86 Activities Denise Fanelli was captivated by Ron Ochalals words.
