Homecoming traditions carry on This year’s Homecoming made way for many changes, but it also followed many traditions. One tradition was the Homecoming queen and her court. Prior to Homecom¬ ing, the four classes nominated girls as their princesses and queen. During the week, class princesses were announced. They were Freshman Julie Haag, Sopho¬ more Nancy Werblo, and Junior Lori Hol¬ guin. The seniors nominated Celeste Elfs- trom, Kelly Glivar, Mary Georgas, and Carol Niepokoj for queen. On Friday night, during the halftime of the football game, Carol Niepokoj was crowned Homecoming queen by Kathy Fox and Sam Vagenas. A few of the changes were caused by the shortened lunch hours. This lead to the cancellation of the teacher’s burger bash and the rescheduling of class com¬ petition. The competition was held at the second annual Fall Festival, where the Seniors once again proved to be the most spirited class by winning every event except the tricycle race. The twelfth annual powderpuff game was held on Thursday night. The game was almost canceled because of a lack of coaches, but because of the efforts of Carol Niepokoj and Margaret Forsythe, the game went on as scheduled. The seniors emerged victorious with a score of 30-18. Sophomore Jenny Larson scored all four senior touchdowns for an unofficial record. The parade on Friday night stepped off at six o’clock, starting a chain of events. The Latin Club’s catapult won best float in club competition, while the sopho¬ mores won in class competition. The Bulldogs soundly defeated the Griffith Panthers with a score of 32-11. Dave Gervais and Randy Hulen each scored two touchdowns, while Dan Doty ran for another. Mr. Football ' was announced at the Homecoming dance, ‘‘As Years Go By.” Of four candidates, Brian Graden, Mike Gursky, Dave Gervais, and Dan Doty, Dave Gervais was crowned Mr. Football by Carol Niepokoj. ir

Mistletoe magic transforms cafe The 1979 Christmas dance “Mistletoe Magic,” sponsored by the Inklings, had a familiar Christmas theme. This year, how¬ ever, the old was joined by the new. The cafeteria was transformed by the beauti¬ ful real Christmas trees giving it a true Christmas effect. Yet while decorations were traditional, the dress was modern. Short dresses, disco dresses, and jumpsuits were the prevalent styles. During the ever popular disco dancing, many couples enjoyed watching the skillful, meanwhile, the tra¬ ditional slow dance filled the floor. As in the past the class princesses were chosen by random drawing. Prin¬ cesses were: Senior Jodi Lambert; Jun¬ ior, Chris Thoman; Sophomore, Sandy Harris, and Freshman Julie Haag. Escorts were John Biljan, Pat Malony, Todd Andersen, and Tom Feder respectively. The band Fluid Motion” helped provide the 225 couples who attended with a night full of music and magic to remem¬ ber. 14—Turnabout
