QuAfyuStug Week O WwutmcjS fkw CJkss Ofr ' 75 Everything seemed to be there for an exciting week of Homecoming festivities. Yes, there were a few exceptions; such as the all but forgotten bonfire of yore; and the somehow misplaced but tra¬ ditional pep assembly, usu¬ ally held on Friday afternoon of Homecoming week, wasn ' t held. Though with the omitted activities, there was a fun addition, thanks to the fac¬ ulty. Teachers provided a Burger Bash for students and managed to serve over 700 hungry mouths. All was devoured in the mass prod¬ uction line of hamburgers, chips and refreshments, dur¬ ing regular lunch hours. The week of activities included the varied dress up days, the Drama Club trike race, with students, faculty and administration partici¬ pating, the tug of war with juniors glowing in triumph, the powderpuff football game, again the juniors reigned for the first time since 1967; then came the final night of parade, game, fanfare, awards, and dance. The end of Homecoming Week 1973 was a little brighter for seniors, as they clenched the winning float title, with the theme Bull¬ doze ' em. Driving the Best Decorated Car was the French Club. Seniors heard defeat again as Mr. Vic Dyk- iel announced that the Jun¬ iors had been named Best Spirited Class for the entire week. Homecoming Queen 1973 was then announced and a lovely Lori Whitehead crossed the field to the song The Shadow of Your Smile. The evening nearly com¬ plete, the Bulldogs went on to bulldoze Calumet 26-20, and Mike Cowan was selected as Mr. Football at the close of Homecoming ABOVE —Greeted by the band and cheerleaders, senior Mike Gibbens leads the charge through the hoop, to start off the game.
