Campion Jesuit High School - Knight Yearbook (Prairie du Chien, WI)

Bonfire Warms Friday night. 600 spotlights flooded an anxious campus. The twice burned bonfire, followed by guys with their girls at the sock hop and parents with teachers in the dining hall. The eleventh hour brought good nights and expectations of the day to come. Saturday. No classes. A hootenany while the Queen was screened for “looks, poise and intelligence.” During the bitter gusts of the afternoon. Campion’s Knights swept past the Pacelli Cardinals, 42-13, in a game few will for- get. While parents conferred with teachers, the Knights celebrated their victory at the Homecom- ing Dance. Sunday. Sunday is the anti-climax. Time to fit in the remaining pieces into the left over spaces. Parents get to talk to their sons, sons get to talk to their girls, unhindered by bands or bonfires. But most of all Sunday is a time for lounging in the security of a family reunion. Girl- friends sit along side and mumble, “I guess I won’t see you till Christmas, but I’ll write you all the time.” Campion Homecoming. 10

Campion’s first float and finest Homecoming court. On one weekend in October, Champion changes. The entire campus is transformed; the students stop griping and start hoping. Perhaps it begins on Friday afternoon when streams of cars invade the campus. Whenever the spurring moment occurs, the outcome is Home- coming Weekend. Homecoming '66 was like all the rest, but it was unique too. The giant abstract painting atop Lucey Hall and the float were firsts in the decorations department. Rick Reichle’s date, Karen Konstant, ascended to the queen’s throne on the float, adding to the new style of things. One isolated, timeless weekend, one great Homecoming.
