PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ I Sophomore rookies, junior amateurs, I and senior pros took to the halls tOi check each other out. It was only the i first day of school, but already | thoughts of Homecoming lurked around the corner. I Homecoming? That’s not until I when Is It, anyway?” I It's exactly 44 days. 19 hours, and i 22 minutes from now! | I The annual bonfire was held on Thurs- day. October 6th at the Brady prac- tice field and was attended by nearly I .200 students. I ‘‘Hey! Somebody call the fire de- 1 partment! The bonfire is spreading i and the whole field’s going to be | I history in a minute!” I The student body was filled with anxi- ety as they crammed into the gymna- sium for the Homecoming aud. 1 I just want to know who it is! “Sshhh, here they come. Rita Con-1 way, Kris Erickson, and there’s | I Paula Kreiter, Melissa Murphy — I that means — It’s Missy Robertsl Geez, she’s got to feel greatl” i “What In the heck are those things down there” Oh. they're 'Ritz Crackers.' I get it. I ’Puttin' on the Ritz'. our theme. | I All psyched up from the aud. the Devils were ready to kick the bull out of the dogs. Both were undefeated, but the I 1 ranked Devils proved superior with a 34-8 victory. I ”1 wonder If Greg Rohlf is going to I do his cheer again tonight.” Well, speak of the Devil. I “Hey, hey Babareba ... Where are you guys going after the game? “Home — to save for tomorrow nlghtl” Eight o'clock. October 8th. The await- ed night had finally come. 1 That D.J.'s playing some rockin'i tunes. I hear '1999' and I'm ready to boogie! “Where are you guys going after I this?” Holiday Inn. room 255. Stop by! |What happened after that is history. For some, the night was a spotted I dress, discovering your date couldn't dance, or perhaps a confrontation i with 'Johnny Law'. For the more fortu- nate. it was a classic evening; a night of many compliments on a new outfit, I the beginning of a new romance, or, realizing that your date wasn't so bad after all ... Puttin' on the Ritz! | ■ THE LEADER OF THE PACK. TM John- I son bursts through the hoop to lead his team to a 34-8 win against Bet-1 tendorf. Photo: K. Marcek. 10
