Aloha!! Welcome to Benet Home- coming ' 81. Your exciting tour of the tropics was planned by chairpersons Cindy Rauckhorst and Nancy Brach- le, under the direction of the Academy Travel Agency. The first stop on this once-in-a- lifetime vacation is the annual pow- derpuff game. Here you can see senior women and junior girls and the survival of the fittest theory in ac- tion, while their cheerleaders out- do each other ' s versatility and spirit on the sidelines. Vince Biskupic will describe and interpret the coaches behavioral traits as the players end the game tied at 18. You may never see anything like this again. Your busy week in the south seas will begin as the native girls compete for the position of Queen. This quaint custom allows one freshman, sopho- more, and junior girl to serve the Senior Queen, Margie Smego, and her attendants Julie Bien, Liz Duvic, Chris Hurley, and Ann Madden in their weeklong reign. Towards the middle of your week the natives will begin to get restless as they honor the wisest of their number on They ' re Our Teachers Day, and celebrate the arrival of the newest members of their family at Big Sister, Little Sister. 102 Homecoming Week 1981

THE PLACE: A YMCA not far from Soho THE STORY: The fugitives travelled far and wide in search of a Scots husband on a horse, looking in such conspicuous places as: the Tower (with keys) Windsor Castle, Hampton Court, the British Museum, the National Gal- lery, the Tube (London subway), telephone booths in the metropolitan area, Stokes Poges, Harrod ' s and the bottom of the fountain. Off limits areas opened for their convenience by theUnion included 40 miles of pas- sages in the walls of Canterbury Cathe- dral, a previously undiscovered Ro- man fort in a nearby Canterbury sub- urb, a chimney place in Hampton Court Palace, and an early morning walk to Soho. Their quest led them to the Borscht ' n Tears restaurant, to a tube race through London ' s exten- sive underground, and finally to fish ' n chips and bar mirrors in Por- tobello Road. Unsuccessful in cap- turing their prize, they turned to col- lecting bounty for a certain history teacher, Daniel Nagis, (who shall re- main nameless), for additional con- sideration. Charles Brummel was not forgotten either. Suffering from jet lag, 23 faceless zombies stalked the halls of the sacred Academy within 24 hours of the end of their ordeal, armed with only their bounties and their stories. THE MORAL: There ain ' t no cure for the Lumber- jack Blues. THE MUSIC: Under Pressure by David Bowie Get Down On It by Tripper and the Goldust Twins God Bless America by The Young Patriots
