.laQmaisQaimG ■■■■■“ Samurai Seniors win powderpuff Long standing traditions and new activities combined to make the 1978 Homecoming a special time to be remembered. The Booster Club, sponsored by Mr. Paul Hernandez, organized the daily activities to promote school spirit. Each d ay a new theme was featured and stu¬ dents dressed to fit the mood. Monday was class color day; Tuesday was very casual- with overall and hat day; Wednes¬ day slid by with ' 50s and grease day; Thursday featured little kids’ day; and Friday exploded with the school colors— red and white. In addition to these activities, intramu¬ ral competition was held during lunch hours each day. Monday began the week with a 3-legged race; Tuesday featured a 200 meter swimming relay; Wednesday pulled through with the tug-of-war; Thursday provided a 880 meter running relay; and Friday finished off the week with a Frisbee distance-contest. At the end of the week the senior class was awarded the spirit trophy for its out¬ standing enthusiasm and contributions throughout the week. On Wednesday the Student Council, sponsored by Mr. Mark Callison, pre¬ sented a Fall Festival. The fun took place outside in the back section of the school grounds. The weather was a little chilly so everyone bundled up. A raffle, egg toss, pie throwing contest, greased pig contest, and many other games high¬ lighted the evening. On Thursday the Samurai Seniors stomped all over the Jaw-Breaking Jun¬ iors. The final score was 14-8 in favor of the seniors. On Friday the cheerleaders and CPettes entertained at a pep assembly as the football coach introduced the starting players for the game. The Homecoming parade preceded the game. For the first time in a long while the junior float beat the senior float in the float competition. The Thespian entry won the award for best car. The Lettermen and GVC released the balloons for the balloon race at the start of the Homecoming game. The band per¬ formed a spectacular half time show while the class princesses and queen candidates lined up on the field. Sue Cowan was crowned Homecoming Queen. The Bulldogs tried their best but were defeated by Highland with a score of 14 to 7. The following night Doug Byrd was chosen as Mr. Football at the Homecom¬ ing dance. The Booster Club sponsored the dance, and its theme was “Autumn Dream.” The band was Sarikos.” 20—Homecoming
