... 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

' rieties ' leveal taler t Weeks of preparation preceded the opening night of Vaudeville Varieties on November 17th. A total of seventy performers devoted four weeks of prac- tice after school and several nights each week to perfect their acts. The biggest challenge was coming up with an opening act that would catch the audience ' s attention and a closing to neatly tie things together, commented director Miss Shrubsall. With last minute adjustments and the tension of opening night, the perform- ers kept their cool as Luther Whitfield remarked, Before the show began, easy feelings among students precided back stage although there was a natural amount of anxiety. According to the performers, the crowd ' s response and a good turnout both nights helped make them more comfortable and contributed to the show ' s success.
