Students ' eagerness makes teachers reminisce about a I E I«H A F-AOE Class spirit, exotic costumes, pep sessions, decorated hall- ways, and court elections were ingredients that made Home- coming week special for many. Wednesday of Homecoming week, students and teachers paraded to Zollner Stadium for the Anything Goes compe- tition. They participated in bi- zarre contests to determine who actually had the most spirit. I went just for the com- edy aspect of the night, sophomore Chad Applegate said. Seeing teachers ride tri- cycles and get hit in the face with pies made the evening a success. Dressing up as nerds, ba- bies, or in finest attire was one way for students to show their spirit. I particularly enjoyed seeing the conservative teach- ers go crazy and dress-up dur- ing the course of the week. I definitely liked I ' .istoi Borchers ' outfit on nerd day the best of all, junior Katie Harris said. The actual preparation for Homecoming began last May. We selected the various com- mittee heads and theme for the week then, Mr. Tim Ewell said. The tremendous orga- nization made all the differ- ence in the world. The com- mittee heads did a fabulous job. Different attempts were made to increase the enjoy- ment of the week. We tried different things this year, like the chapel service in the gym and throwing pies at teachers. We thought it would add inter- est to the week, senior co- chairman Mari Cbert said. I think they went over fairly well. — Jeff McBride Competing to finish their pizza are juniors Julie Flora and Mark Plass- man and freshmen Yolanda Turner and Chad Ford.

QWhat was the funniest thing that you saw during home- coming Week? On Thursday we were to dress up as a baby or an old person. Mrs. Lewis was dressed up as one of the oldest ladies I ' ve ever seen. She had white stuff on her face that made her look like a zombie. — Mr. Jeff Limmer Displaying school spirit, seniors Dave Panning and Alan Bengs and junior Chad Chapman display their finest 50 s-nerd apparel.

Fireworks and balloons help encourage crowd to A«R-T«Y Hew cheers, the lifting off of balloons and fireworks were some new activities that made Homecoming night a little bit different. This year we wanted to do different things — things that hadn ' t been done for awhile, junior co-chairman Rachel Beitz said. The new activities worked, because as junior cheerleader Holly Howe said, The crowd got into the game and really seemed keyed up. Mot only did the different ac- tivities get the crowd excited, but they seemed to attract a large number of fans. It was great to see the stands that full; there were a lot of people there, senior football player Matt Lewis said. Winning the game was one of the favorite parts of the night and got spirits high for the dance. I was more up at the dance and was able to cel- ebrate the victory of the game, Howe said. The idea of doing some- thing different also had to do with the setting and theme for the dance. We wanted the theme to be really different. We had thought of doing a jungle set- ting, and then we thought of the theme The Rhythm is Gonna get You ' to go along with the setting, senior dance chairman Janne Foebler said. Homecoming night meant different things to different peop le. For the seniors it was a time to reflect on their past years and to appreciate the time they had left. It was my last Homecom- ing — my time at Concordia went really fast, Lewis said. For freshmen Homecoming night meant something new. Homecoming night was a time of fun and a time to meet new people, freshman Kris- tina Graham said. No matter what the class, Homecoming Might was a time of fun and a time to be with friends. Sophomore Jason Roemer summarized these feelings in saying, Home- coming night was the end of a week of celebration. — Allison Staak ii PHffci ?k MmJ - + ' »PB Vi fa r , ,.
