A clash of the classes To have fun, to build class spirit, and to get students and faculty in- volved in Homecoming, were all reasons given by junior Kirsten Rob- erts for having the fourth annual Anything Goes competition. When people cheered for teams, they were also cheering for Concordia, continued Roberts, chairperson for the event. Anything Goes was the first major event of Homecoming week. It fea- tured ten events where the four classes and the faculty all compet- ed for points. It was important be- cause it gave everyone a chance to get away from school and simply have a good time, said Homecom- ing chairperson, senior Maureen But- ler. However, more work went into the planning and organization of Anything Goes than most people realized. Every idea for an event had to be approved by the poBce department, fire department, P.TA„ the adrrtH - at m 3 -■ rh stadium custodians. After an idea All the time and effort that was spent on Anything Goes really paid off in one of the finest Homecoming events I have ever seen, stated Student Council adviser Mr. Fred Weiss. The evening began with a pa- rade to Zollner Stadium led by Coach Dick Wert, Mr. Guenther Her- zog and the varsity band, a tradi- tional bonfire, and the lighting of the game torch by senior Bryan Meyer. The games finished with the juniors in first place, the seniors second, the sophomores third, freshmen fourth, and the faculty fifth. The events concluded with hot dogs and soda pop. — Rob Lucas 1 wr Signaling the start of the .Anything Goes competition. Student Council President, sen- ior Bryan Meyer ignites the. game torch!

A looking glass triumph Students who participated in Homecoming got the chance to go through the looking glass by be- coming active on dress up days. Nerd Day began the week when students stepped back in time to the 50s. On Twin Day, confusion reigned as students dressed alike. Best attire appeared Wednesday. Daringness was brought out Thursday for Masquer- ade Day when the school opened its doors to a bunch of grapes, a French maid, a flapper, and even a male fairy godmother. School spirit showed high Friday with maroon and white everywhere. The Goo- kettes psyched up fans by teach- ing a new cheer at the pep session. I felt that everything was done first class, said senior Terry Rybolt. By game time I could tell great things were going to happen for the team because of the amount of en- thusiasm shown by fans. That was the key to our winning season. Hard work paid off when the varsi- ty football team beat Wayne 46-28. giving Concordia their first Home- coming victory under the leadership of Coach Dick Wert. During halftime, Donna Kleinschmidt and Quinton Dixie were crowned queen and king. An unfortunate incident took place at halftime, though, when a defective special effects device in- jured Mr. Paul Wis, Band Director. The week ended with the dance where Spectrum, Light, and Sound provided music in the elaborately decorated gym. I thought that the decorations at the dance were reaiy neat. The white lights on the cage made It romantic, said senior Penny Kizer. — Beth Bartett Enthusiasm for a victory is shown by Coach Dick Wert, escorted by senior Gretchen Walther at the pep session 4s one of The Gookeftes , senior Bryan Meyer leads the Cadets in a cheer.
