16 awe CI-ISFeVer 'Balloehs' Hey, Susie, how about a date some- time this week? Sorry, Charlie, but I'm all booked up until after Friday. The Homecoming oarade is Monday. The hall decora- tions are to be up by Tuesday. Wednesday is the third annual FCA Powderpuff football game. Thursday night I have to stay home and rest up for the Homecoming game against Brownstown. Then, on Friday, there will be balloon rides before the game, the crowning of the queen at half- time, and the big victory dance after- ward. I've got the 'Pirate Fever' and it's very contagious. Why don't you join in on all the festivities and catch it yourself?! Homecoming '79 started off with a bang. The parade through town stimu- lated enthusiasm among the partici- pants and the crowd. Hall decorations displayed the many hours of hard work that students had put into Home- coming to make it a success. Next, it was off with the ribbons and frills! After weeks of practice, it was fi- nally time for the annual powderpuff football game. The first game was mostly fun as it saw the sophomores defeat the freshmen 12-0. But, the next game was thoroughly a game of blood, sweat, and tears. Instead of a game of flag football, it became a game of tack- le, without the pads. The Class of '80 proved victorious for the second year, with the score 14-0. MARK COX, Donnie Bettler, and John Southard show their better side on mess 'em up day.

18 Thursday the cheerleaders de- voted the day to the inflation of balloons to be released after the introduction of the players at the game. This was also the day to announce the winners of the hot air balloon rides before the game. Finally, the big day came. Fri- day had arrived. A pep session at the end of the day stimulated spirit to prepare the students for the night ahead of them. Fans started arriving at the game at 6:00, bundled up in winter coats, mittens, and blankets. After the balloon rides, it was time for the big game! At half- time the queen court was escort- ed onto the field. Everyone lis- tened intently after the drum roll, as Krista Hopwood was named 1979 Homecoming Queen. Pirate Fever really caught fire in the first few minutes of the game, when the Bucs scored their first touchdown. To top the evening off, the Pirates were victorious over Brownstown 22-8. After the game, the Victory dance was held in the cafeteria, with Main Street providing the en- tertainment to add the finishing touch to Homecoming '79.
