Sharing Together Gave Us Love Dances, plays and convocations have become as important to school life as learning itself. The extra- curricular activities gave us the opportunity to exert our energy into worthy projects which taught us the importance of working together. Our school experiences outside of classes provided us with a flaming warmth, unity and love which will always be carried inside of us. Talking and relaxing on a bridge was a good way to pass the time during the warm afternoons of fall for juniors Maribeth Diebolt and Cindy Hundley. 1978 graduate Brian Morris gives senior Diane Bauermeister a congratulatory kiss after she was named the 1978 Homecoming Queen.

Powder-Puff Females Tie One On A week of spirit days, activities, girls' powder-puff football prac- tices and many after school hours spent working on the class banners paved the way for the 1978 Homecoming football game and dance. Throughout the week Rebels, Indians, hillbillies and pajama clad students could be seen roaming the halls on their way to classes. The students wore their Sunday best to initiate the spirit of the festive week on dress-up day and concluded with an or- ange and brown day. On history, pajama and hillbilly days prizes were awarded to the best dressed students. Many fans gathered on the practice field to honor the team with a bonfire and a pep rally on Thursday evening. On Friday, the ladies took to the field, while the men became cheerleaders during the first annual Powder-Puff football game. Kathy Neal quar- terbacked the seniors to a nar- row 20-18 victory over the ju- niors who were led by Lisa Ritzline. Earlier in the week, students nominated Powder-Puff King candidates, two representatives from each class. Sophomores Kip Kiel and Bryan Perry, juniors Blair Kiel and Glen Spinks and seniors Mark jackson and Bill Redman made up the King's Court. Senior Rick Dwenger, escorted by Di- ana Vickers, was crowned Pow- der-Puff King. On Saturday the men once again had control of the field, dominating both offense and de- fense. Madison posed no threat to the mighty Olympians in the 47-0 victory. During half time, the junior banner, designed by Scott Thelander, won the competition between classes. Also during half time, senior Diane Bauermiester, escorted by 1978 graduate Brian Morris, was crowned 1978 Home- coming Queen by the 1977 queen, Kathy Reedy. Seniors Julie Perry and Diane Vickers, juniors Karen McNeely and Aleta Stam, and sophomores Gina Gooldy and Teri Murphy were the six members of the queen's court. The traditional homecoming dance concluded the week's festivities. Homecoming 17
