The turnout for this year's Open House was good. The evening's activities ranged from a dinner in the cafeteria to performances in the music department, but most parents were interested in joining the lines which waited at the entrances of each classroom. The feelings of most parents in attendance on October 13 were summed up by Mr. and Mrs. Rose, parents of Freshman Lisa Rose. They were very pleased with their daughter’s grades, teachers, and the school itself. Mrs. Rose TOP PHOTO. MRS. CALDWELL AND MR.

Homecoming Week cCann Gym filled with smoke and the students watched in amazement as Tony Trojan was re-introduced as the school’s mascot. This scene at the Homecoming Assembly climaxed a wild week which started on Tuesday, October 9 with Walt Disney Day. Wednesday was designated as Cubs Day, and hats, jerseys, and official Cub uniforms were worn to celebrate Chicago’s Eastern Division champs. The week ended on Friday with the traditional Blue and White Day. When asked how successful Homecoming Week was, Mrs. Diana Oldenburg said: ”1 thought Homecoming Week was very successful. Everyone worked hard to put it together, but most of the credit goes to the Student Council and Mrs. McCrowey.” Once again the Senior Class came Time for Trojan Pride out on top in the annual battle for the Spirit Jug. Mrs. Oldenburg said of another Senior project: I was really glad to see the return of Tony Trojan at the assembly, thanks to the Senior Class.” The Homecoming football game provided an excellent finish to the week with the team’s victory over Bloom Trail. This year something new was added to Homecoming Week — a balloon launch. After school on Thursday the student body gathered in front of the school, each student holding a balloon with a card attached. The student whose balloon travelled the farthest won a $25.00 gift certificate. The blue and white cloud of balloons that was released to the sky was a great way to show our Trojan pride.
