Homecoming was a great credit to the Student Council. I hope they continue to do things like this. — Bill Chernick, Class of ’90 Juniors win Homecoming Spirit Stick ‘Jungle Fever’ is theme Friday was the traditional Orange-and-Black Day. The class with the most wins and spirit was judged to be the junior class. They won the float competition, the games, and the poster competi- tion. The sophomores won the skit performance by singing “Jungle Love.” The football games themselves were close but exciting. The Fresh-Soph squad lost 8-7 to Forreston and the varsity lost 13-9 also to the Cardinals. This year’s Homecoming was unique in many ways. First of all, the theme was different. The week and dance were based around “Jungle Fever,” and the entire school got into it. The Student Council even hired hula dancers as en- tertainment. The dancers even taught big, strong guys like Rick O’Sullivan, Mike Brown, Troy Gentz, and Jim Ewing to hula. Students attending the dance were treated to exotic drinks like strawberry daiquiris (without the al- cohol) and movies like “Farris Buehler’s Day Off’ and “Back to School.” Homecoming Week itself flew by. Monday was Safari Day, Tuesday was Toga-Hat-and- Sunglasses Day, Wednesday was Dress Up Day, Thursday was Mafia-and-Gangster Day, and Left, Lisa Zull, David Hurd, and Paula Frye carry the Spanish Club banner during the Homecoming Parade.
