Remembering Attendant Alison McRitchie em- braces her friend julie Kunkel after the ceremo- nies. Homecoming is a happy time for me as all the kids from college come back to share in the excitement . Said Alison. Deep in thought. Senior quarterback Paul Tomcufucik breaks through the Bearcat hoop when his name is introduced Even then I was thinking about the game plan and what plays I would be calling. He later said. Divided House Our purpose is to generate school spirit and cheer on our team, not to oppose each other over small issues. Stated Mr. Donald Sullivan, band di- rector, in reference to the controversy concerning the Homecoming awards on Thursday, Oct. 25. The juniors won the float competi- tion with the theme We'll Be Dragon The Rebels and the marching band took the Spirit 'B'. Senior class officers Dave Sharp, Rob Fredericks, Julie Kunkel, and Linda Saliga explained the debatable reason their float lost. The judges' rules stat- ed 6:00 p.m. at the deadline for entries but the student's rules stated 6:30. In the judges' eyes we were late so they refused to judge us. This is not to say we would've won if we were judged, but at least we would've had a chance! To add to the disappointment the Bearcats lost, 31-10, to Willoughby. The highlight of the evening oc- curred during halftime. Nita Pozar, 1978 Homecoming Queen, presented Linda Saliga with her crown. I was all choked up because my friends were in the stands holding up a sign and chanting WE LOVE YOU, LINDA! In her speech she promised to fulfill the duty of queen to the best of my ability. That duty being to unite the school in spirit. Center of controversy. With Bob Jarvis and Todd Pliske in the cab and seniors Cyndi Weigand. Kathy Hardy and Marlene Zarlino in the truck the senior float rides past Moody Junior High on its way to the BHS football stadium. New procedure. Homecoming escort Ed Romito uses the new technique of gluing the tissue pa- per to the chicken wire holes in the float outline with wall paper paste Homecoming 1979

 r] bulging At The Seams Walking past the gym after our first day of school, I see the teams practicing. The cross country team is starting out on their daily run to Shawnee, where the golfers also practice. Both the JV and varsity football players are stretching out on the same small field. (Actual- ly, it's the baseball outfield.) I'm psyched about the football season. The new coach, Mr. Prahst, has an excellent past coaching record. We're hop- ing to get back on the win- ning streak this year. Beyond the Call. Outfielder jeannine Hajek makes a spectacular catch, stopping a poten- tial home run. Jeannine was named to the Plain Dealer Dream Team for her play Crucial Contest Bedford and Brush swimmers line up at the starting blocks for the 100 meter breast- stroke event. Brush won the meet, 87-85, putting the Bearcats in second place for the first time in team history. Bear for a Day Bearcats Lori Kessel and Mary Ellen Weber help Coach Hodakevic's daughter with her gymnastice. She won the honor of being Bearkitten of the Homecoming game in the cheerleader's raf- fle.
