Thus, on October 5, another Homecoming Parade began. With Homecoming October 5, the process of transforming garbage bags into float flowers became a pressure situa- tion. Thursday, October 4, students worked frantically to put their finishing touches on the float. Marty Tischbein, chairman of this event, lined up 28 en- tries from student floats to candidates for the November 6 election. He started planning, the first day of school because Homecoming was so close. He said that the hardest thing in planning the parade was getting a hold of the participants. The Seniors hod the winning float, o big pink dinosaur that exhaled smoke. They were followed by the Sophomores with their 1920 ' s antique cor. The juniors took third with their Roman coliseum ond taking 4th place with a strong fight, were the Freshmen with their 50 ' s sweet shop. Other entries included the Notional Honor Society Float, The Remem- brance cor, the Science Club Float, and the ever popular River Queen carrying the Homecoming Court. The Algonac community participated with entries such os the Police ond Fire Deportments, political candidates like: James Docherty, Terry London ond Jon Novok, to name a few, and members of the school board rode in the Meet the Candidates cor. I felt that the parade wos very well done , said Gio Leon. Mr. Ford said he felt , Marty did o fantastic job giving us a well organized, well run porode. It wos super!

T raditional events send spirit soaring After freezing in November I960, on early Homecoming was a popular request. Unknown to the planners, October 5 presented a few problems. Dance chairperson, Kelley Kanalos, discovered in early September that bonds were booked. After extensive investiga- tion, she contacted a d.j. and the committee decided to try that approach. As the donee began, Kelley suffered a few hectic moments os wrong directions resulted in a lost d.j. However, he arrived at 9:30 and a large, enthusiastic crowd danced until 1:00 in the gym. Halls were transformed according to themes, but time limita- tions prevented extravagant halls. Adult education classes beginn- ing at 6:00 meant that everyone hod to be done before then. Tope and humidity again provided problems as seniors arrived early to reassemble port of their cove. Judging took place at 7:30 with seniors taking first place. The decorations remained up throughout the day os students enjoyed the theme days without the cust omary, post destruction of the paper material. Traditions remained os mums, parade, halls and dress up days added to the hectic involved Spirit that was Homecoming ' 84.
