mmmw Early Homecoming spurs planners October 3 came along too fast for stu¬ dents working on class floats, since it marked the day for the Bulldogs to meet the Lake Central Indians for the big Homecoming Game. Students were in front of the high school at 5 p.m. sharp to put the finish¬ ing touches on their floats, cars, and other parade entries. The Royal Regi¬ ment led the parade around the square and back to the football field. The game started with the Indians in the lead with a 7-0 score. By halftime the Bulldogs were down with a 7-6 score. Half-time activities started with the performance of the Royal Regiment. Class princesses freshman Kathy Lucas, sophomore Teri Anderson, junior Marilyn Faber, and their escorts, walked out on the football field to await the coronation of the Queen. Four nervous senior candidates for queen. Sue Bennett, Abbie McLeod, Raean Miller, and Heidi Voyak awaited the final decision. Booster Club president Lisa Ropa and Student Council President Brian Cooper announced Raean Miller as the 1980 Homecoming Queen. At the closing of the half-time activities the class of 1981 was announced winner of the class float competition with the theme of “Ruff up the Indians.” Latin Club won the award for best club float. Although the Bulldogs lost the game, the night and its memories linger on in the minds of happy participants. Post Homecoming activities took place the night after the game with a semi-for¬ mal dance with the theme of “Everybody Has a Dream.” Students danced to the music of “Strider” a local band. Diana Fischer, Booster Club vice president, had the honors of crowning John Riddle as Mr. Football. 10—Homecoming

I just accomplish what I need to in the course of the day, like the old say¬ ing goes. Cross that bridge when you get there. “I limit my hours on my job so I still have time for homework and activities. Yet, I still work enough to bring home good money. I do my school work right after school instead of doing something I would want to do. I also limit my working hours.” ‘‘I try to do my school work after school or after work. My hours for work are limited, and I mostly work week¬ ends.” ‘‘I try to get as much sleep as possible so I’m not too tired to keep up with all the things I have to do.” “I manage to get all my school work done during the day so I have plenty of time for extra-curricular activities. I don’t have very much homework and what I do have, I complete in school. I only work a couple of nights a week so it’s fairly easy for me.” ‘‘It used to be pretty hard when I worked until 10 p.m., but now I get off at 8 p.m., and it is easy to finish homework. Winter is a lot easier because I have more free time.” “I do my homework during practices and at games. It seems I’m always run¬ ning from one thing to another. It is eas¬ ier during the spring for me.” ‘‘I take things one at a time. I don’t panic, and I work very hard to accom¬ plish as much as I can. “This year has been the toughest. I stay up really late and get up early to study. I do homework at lunch and in classes’ freetime. I try to get to or do one activity a week.” I usually get most of my homework done in class, but when I don’t I’ll take it home. When I have a game, I try to get it done beforehand, but if I don’t I take it along with me. “I get a lot of my homework done dur¬ ing lunch if not in class. If I still have work left, I often do it immediately after school so that I have the evening for my activities.” Getting it Together—9
