... and night§ BELOW: On the night of the homecoming game, Winnie the Pooh smiles as he sits on top of the winning senior float which displays the slogan, We want to Winnie, Pooh on the Knights! Homecoming nights seemed to re- flect the spirit and excitement of the days as Cadets stomped Lafayette Cen- tral Catholic 40-12. This game repre- sented the first homecoming game in three years in which Concordia came out victorious. Even though the homecoming game turned out to be an upset, the Powder Puff game which was played the pre- vious night, remained traditional with the senior girls winning. Seniors Karen Bradtmiller and Sherry Benecke scored all the senior touchdowns and the game concluded with a score of 26-6. Seniors stole the hearts of Winnie the Pooh lovers with a large replica of the famed pooh bear on their first place float. This was the third consecutive year for the class of ' 79 to take first place in float competition. Their catchy slogan read, We want to Winnie, Pooh on the Knights! Perhaps this motto proved an inspiration for Cadets in their victory. On Saturday night the excitement continued to grow while students at- tended the crowning of the homecom- ing king, queen, and the presentation of the court for the first time in the chap- el-auditorium. A semi-formal dance with the theme We never change; we only grow served as entertainment in the main gym after the coronation. This brought the climax to H omecoming ' 78 as students danced to music by Eclipse. ABOVE: The senior Powder Puff team huddles to discuss their next play. 26 homecoming nights

coining day§... During homecoming week, Cadet spirit ran high as the busy days kept everyone involved in the excitement. This year, Pajama Day made its debut during our dress up week. Students pa- raded around the halls in an array of zany P.J. ' s, curlers, and slippers. Togas, saddle shoes, and greased hair were oth- er popular get-ups donned during the week of fun. The homecoming committee planned an assembly for our king, queen, and court nominees where they posed ques- tions to test their originality and their charm. Karla Lewis explained, This year, female nominees were asked to answer the same question, and the male nominees likewise. This technique served its purpose as it aided students in comparing answers and therefore in choosing the most original of the nomi- nees. Mr. Parrish and the senior girls li- vened up the pep assembly by using a popular cheer, Go Bananas. The cheerleaders showed their support by literally transporting the varsity foot- ball players from one girl to the other and passing them down a line. All in all, the days spent throughout homecoming week proved successful in boosting spirit and getting students in- volved. As Captain Agness put it, I really got a kick out of homecoming this year, it contained more spirit than in the past. ABOVE: Senior Marcy Murray clowns around on Masquerade Day. homecoming days 25
