Moments of glory earned by practice For the athletes and coaches at ellmont there was much more to leir sport than just competition, ' here were the long hours spent aily on improving each individu- l ' s performance. Whether the ours were spent on the football eld, in a pool, on the gym floor, or n the mats, all those sports had ne thing in common. PRAC- ICE! The athletes spent hour after our, doing the same thing over nd over again, until every minute etail was perfected. But the ath- jtes were not the only ones who ' orked away their extra hours. The managers and coaches spent just as much time doing their share. They spent hours after prac- tices, washing, folding uniforms, and taking care of the equipment. The coaches had to make sure all the last minute details were taken care of and they also shared the team ' s excitement of victory and the disappointments of defeat. Not one team at Bellmont could have existed if there were not athletes, coaches, and managers ready to put forth the effort and practice, and there would not have been as many successful seasons either.

Show Your Legs Contest adds to Homecoming Week The complaints of the same old boring schedule, day after day faded away with the arrival of Homecoming Week. Each class spent their evenings working on floats and the junior and senior girls filled their early morning hours learning the techniques of powderpuff football. Wednesday afternoon a few Bellmont males donned cheerlead- ing skirts to lend their powderpuff players moral support as they bat- tled out the annual game. When the final buzzer rang the senior girls came out on top with the score of 14-0. Greg Logan and Tim Ehlerding won the tricycle race during the Homecoming games followed by Dave Ulman who devoured his pie first and a four way tie between Brad Curtis, Greg Logan, Stu Smith, and Tony Meyer in the sack race. Lisa Killian and Teresa Mc Bride finished the three-legged race first and Vic Kable managed to have 37 marshmallows stuffed in his mouth to win that contest. The show us your leg contest was added to the Homecoming events, with the winner being senior Brad Curtis. Finally, Friday arrived with a pep session led by the faculty and the final voting for king and queen candidates. That evening as the Homecoming Parade drew near the end the judges voted the senior float the winner leaving only the anticipation of the game and the new king and queen of 1979 to come. f L J I } 0 I H ■1 -g H J H t! i If- ' HHl ™i III ■ 1 m § ■ 1 ■• ' p . - 1 «t % % » ... we can dance, dance, dance.
