Cantt Slow Down H awks had no problem keeping 4-: themselves busy during Homecoming week; the difficulty was in keeping up! Each day gave the students and staff an opportunity to participate in a host of activities. Theme dress days were as follows: Monday: Jersey Day Tuesday: Dress-Up Day Wednesday: Hawaiian Day Thursday: Hat and Button Day Friday: Orange and Blue Day Casino Night, held on Wednesday, was sponsored by D.E.C.A., and en- abled the six hundred students who at- tended to try their hand at gambling in a Las Vegas-style atmosphere. The dealers were portrayed by members of the staff and twenty parents. The bonfire afterward was held in the hockey rink. Friday's classes were dismissed early for the pepfest. A new group of sports enthusiasts, the Athletic Supporters, performed a danceline routine to Princets, Baby ltm a Star. The Cooperettes danced to Can-Can, and the boys soccer team, assisted by the Cheerleaders, gave an enthusiastic cheer for the football team. Among the other participants were the Flag Twirlers and the Marching Band. After the pepfest was the Brat Feed and the D.E.C.A.-sponsored Car Bash. The Talent Show gave students a chance to strut their stuff and perhaps surprise a few people with their talent abilities. Seniors Bill Balfanz and Allison Levine stole first and second place, each doing a showy, self- choreographed jazz dance. The football team's 19 to 6 victory over the Osseo Orioles and the Dance with music provided by Midwest Sound and Light Show rounded off an eventful Homecoming 1984. . h Squirrelbait vocalist Dave Johnson sings Twisted Sisteris itWe're Not Gonna Take It!
