An autumn tradition T he halls of Stevenson were filled with students Thursday afternoon of homecoming week as a variety of SHS groups and organizations constructed floats for Friday ' s halftime. Animated Future was the theme for the floats, and the senior class (class of 82) took top honors with their Smurfs in Space float. Second place went to the majorettes and third place to the Marching Band. Nanette Verpoort was announced as homecoming queen and her proud dad beamed, and shouted That ' s my girl. Reggie Deluca was Mr. Spartan, and the third annual Golden Door award went to Mrs. Millie Rodolosi ' s humanities class. And, Mrs. R. herself was named the most spirited teacher. What made the Homecoming show the sweetest was SHS hung on to beat a highly touted Flint Northern team. STEVENSON I STRUTS K I j

And, several groups stepped in front of senior Chris Peppo ' s camera and flash to have their faces and getups recorded for posterity. Old letter sweaters belonging to mom and dad were dragged out of mothballs to make up costumes for Nostalgia Day. Purple hair spray ( They say it will wash right out was a hot cosmetic in northern Livonia as both males and females strove to be the punkiest. For the moment, the punk rock stars were the main inspiration for Stevenson students on dressup day. What ' s the next craze? Urban cowboy and cowgirls? (or was that 1980 ' s pop culture hit?) New Wave Rock? Brooks Shields? No way. Anyway, it was back to normal by Friday. MORE DRESS-UP VIGNETTES: Punkers Laura Mack, Gina Tiseo, Dina Paciocco, and Kristi Niehaus, went all out (Above, Far Left). Nothing matched, nothing worked in outfits worn by Nello Stante, Gary Mexicotte, Wesley Karczynski, Craig Ridley, and Mark Giordano and Jeff Kaloustian (back row) (Far Left, Middle), stares emanate from Laurie Kaner, Amy Altenberger, and Carina Childs (Far Left, Below). Karen Walters revived fringe and the rock group The Doors for a look at the ' 60s on Nostalgia Day (Left). Kim Griffith, Julie Robinson and Terry Hermann look like real Dobby-soxers (Above). Karin Kilby, a sleepy Mark Badala- mente and Denise Bryngelson tried their best to look like they came from the ' 50 ' s (Right). Wild makeup was worn by Lisa White (back), Debbie Rosochacki, Lisa Bowman and Tracy Ward, with Brian Bates hiding behind the Hollywood sunglasses (Right, Be¬ low).
