The majority of the students then went to the dance in the school gym. It was by far the most crowded dance of the year, and one of the best organized, even to the point of stamping hands for identification. There were almost as many alumni as there were students and no one even began to leave until ten-thirty.

HOMECOMING 70 October 9 and 10, homecoming week- end, 1970. The week's activities had all been building to a climax. First the voting for homecoming Queen, then black and gold day, followed by a well-attended pep rally in the auditorium. On Friday night at seven-thirty a crowd of students, alumni, and other interested spectators assem- bled in the lot adjacent to the Munhall Utilities Building. The band had already begun to play as Mr. Bober climbed onto Al Lutheran’s beer truck to lead the big- gest pep rally of the year. The bonfire was then lighted and not until the Spar- tan was burned alive did the crowd begin to disperse.

The next evening excitement ran high as we faced our old foes, the Mon Valley Spartans. They had beaten us last year and this was our chance at revenge and a section championship. The rain may have dampened the field and seats, but not the spirit of the fans. The pre-game activities were postponed until half-time, when Richard Baginski introduced the parents of the senior football players, cheerleaders, and band members. The students then pinned flowers on their mothers.
