Homecoming Madness A s the drums echoes its war chant a young warrior gazes across a grid marked prairie. The anticipation mounts as he ponders the upcoming battle-his last homecoming game. The scene was set, the time and place were exact. The final ingredient was then added, a warrior victory. On October 5, the Bishop Noll Warriors triumphed over the Gavit Gladiators with a score of 29 to 0. In addition to this victory, at halftime the 1979 homecoming queen, Patty Roque, was crowned and members of her court were introduced: Judy Evans, Becky Kerger, Karen Stack, and Jackie Young. The events at the game, how¬ ever, were only highlights of the 1979 Homecoming Trails to Our Horizons. The planning of Homecoming began many moons ago. Throughout the sum¬ mer, work-sessions were held by chair¬ person Karen Stack and co-chairpersons Patty Roque, Nancy Moss, and Jackie Young. They worked to create a western atmosphere which began a roundup of activities leading back to the Old West. Spirit days enabled students to dress as western characters, cowboys and in- dians.

Trails to our Horizons (cont ' d) The parade also carried out this theme as covered wagons and tee-pees blazed a trail down Chicago Ave. ending in the Warrior Fieldhouse. A pow-wow then began in which games were played and a war dance was held. It was at this time that the seniors were awarded the spirit trophy, however the school spirit did not end here. On Saturday a victory dance was held with one of the largest turnouts ever. The cafeteria was transformed into an old western town with a candlelight dance hall while the music was provided by Bitter Lemon . As the couples began to leave the floor, Alan Hoffman was crowned Mr. Touchdown. This was an¬ other highlight of homecoming which truly made the whole week an event worth remembering.
