R DREAMS ARE MAGIC On Thursday night, October 20, spirit filled the air in Bearcat Ter- ritory as Homecoming '83 was un- derway. Many gathered to see the parade make its way down Colum- bus Rd. to the BHS field. Floats in this year's parade included the band's Paint the Panthers , the Sophomore's, Zap Euclid , and the Iunior's, Return of the Cats ! But, the Seniors proved triumph- ant, as Iohn Pracejus announced the Senior float, We Care Bear- cats as the winner! After 3 years of losing, said Iim Duber, It was great to win! The float was built at the home of Senior class Vice- President Mike Matranga, and had it's ups and downs, with the theme going through a number of changes, and poor attendance at float ses- sions until the last week. But, all at once, the Seniors pulled it together and finished the float two days ear- ly. Senior Class President Kelli O'Neill said I found a lot of satis- faction in the floats completion, but I never felt a greater feeling of ac- complishment then when I realized we had won ! This years annual Spirit Week Events included Punk Day, Hat Day, and a Dress-up Day . BHS clubs and organizations worked to- gether and made banners and signs to march in the parade, wishing the Bearcats well, and every hallway was decorated Green and White, with Sophomores walking away with the prize. There was definitely electricity in the air as the Cats took the field on Friday night, and all assumed that the past losses of the season would be put behind them! The Bearcats played a very emotionally charged first half, scoring two touchdowns due to the combined efforts of all-purpose full-back Ron Culpepper and Quarterback Pete Krantz. But, in the final quarter, the Cats went scoreless and lost their intensity, leaving a 19-13 victory in the paws of the Euclid Panthers. But, not even that could tarnish Bearcat spirit. 1 2 HOMECOMING Half-time brought a spectacular show by our marching Bearcat Band and the announcement of the 1983 Homecoming Queen, Bonnie Buck! lt was a moment filled with tears of happiness, as 1982 Queen Teri Mizak handed down her crown. Bonnie commented on her experience saying, In the past years, I've watched other lucky girls enjoy the honor of becoming Queen and have always wished that someday it could be me. This is a dream come true, and a night I will always remember ! This year's Homecoming court consisted of Doreen Goga, Sally Houlahan, and Debi Romito. On October 22, Saturday of HomeComing weekend, another tradition was brought back to BHS as a Homecoming dance was held in honor of Bonnie and her court! The dance was sponsored by NHS, and Varsity B President Russ Coo- per was Master of Ceremonies and welcomed all. The escorts to the Queen and her court were Ed Zahariwicz, Art Curtis, Doug Tilden, and Paul Tomanday, The dance was successful, everyone danced and seemed to have a great time! As the evening came to a close, Homecoming '83 ended on a high note, providing many with memo- ries and good times that will last a life time and be cherished always!!! FIRED UP, Getting riled up during the Homecoming game is Iunior Tony Lopez, number 34, who runs off the field after a su- perbly executed play. T.P.ed TUBAS. Wrapping up the tuba section of the Bearcat Band with toilet pa- per was Tim Wardlow's way of telling them to clean up their act. Q , .ff f ' ff' f ' 55, W , l . 7 .fi
