Homecoming: The Big Night 29 A beaming Sunday Steward receives the traditional Kiss from the football captain — Mike O’Connor. Sunday is crowned queen at halftime of the Homecoming Game. S hifting uneasily in her seat, the senior Homecoming finalist reflected upon all the previous years when she sat in the stands watching the game and other festivities of past Homecomings. Now her time has come, her dream of being on the court was fulfilled, and she wondered who would be selected queen to- night. Anticipation — everyone who participated in Homecoming felt this. Semi-finalists hoped that they would be chosen for the Homecoming court, and finalists wondered if they could possi- bly become Queen. Laurie Frank stated, “It was a new experience for me since this was the first year I was on the court. It was exciting to find out who the Queen was going to be and being close to her when they called her name.” Sunday Steward was the lucky one to be named 1983 Homecoming Queen. Since the time of the parade was changed to before the game, everyone who went to the game was also able to enjoy it. “I think changing J the parade increased school spirit,” said David | Crandall, “but I feel that it shattered the impor- tance of Homecoming from the city itself.” Nine different groups entered the float competition, and the Junior Class won it for the second year in a row. While three parachutists glided into the middle of the field, the floats and the court mem- bers in convertible cars all circled the track slow- ly- At half time the girls all got into cars and drove around the track to be introduced. After walking through the R.O.T.C. honor guard, each girl lined up on the track and waited for the big moment. Then Sunday’s name was announced, she was crowned, and she was driven around the track again. After the Tornadoes victoriously massacred the East Bay Indians 60-0, students went to the gym annual dance. For their $2.00, the 650 students who attended received their money’s worth of food, great music and a well-decorated gym. With many welcomed improvements, this Homecoming was made a success by all who were involved. When we reminisce about our high school years, this Homecoming will hold a firm spot in our memories, y by Sue Espey and Robin Castle Football victory tops off a perfect evening

Working at a restaurant sometimes means late night hours and weekends spent on the job. A waiter at Spoto’s Restau- rant at Loehmann’s Plaza, Lance Hallmark brings drinks to waiting customers. Working behind the scenes at Oak Cove Retirement Home, Mike Sowinski, Suzanne McKeon, and Lonnie James finish up the last of the dishes from the New Year’s Eve celebration. Mr. Joe Napier, Occupational Specialist, is available to help stu- dents find jobs and counsel teens on career choices. He locates guest speakers and plans Career Day and other special programs. Out of the students he refers for job interviews, over half are hired. Family businesses often provide teenagers with jobs. While working at Imperial Hardware, Frank Macrini makes a new key for a waiting customer. When jobs occupy too much of students’ time, they look for jobs allowing flexibility of hours. By selling Avon, Can- dace Loehn can take time out at school to persuade Jennifer Jones and Kelli Ruggie into buying. Fast food employees not only take orders and fry food. They must also clean up after untidy patrons. During a lull in business at Burger King, Anne Bunker uses the time to wipe down tables. 30 Jobs
