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

mmttmvuE LC Indian visits Dogs at pep rally A surprise visit at the Homecoming pep rally by a Lake Central Indian cli¬ maxed Spirit Week. The Indian (Mr. Mar¬ ion Kellum) came bearing a gift for Mr. Ken Brist, principal. In the style of slap¬ stick comedy, he gave Mr. Brist the gift, a cream pie in the face. The varsity foot¬ ball team immediately took off after the Indian and triumphantly returned with the Indian’s bow and arrow and other tro¬ phies. The pep rally usually held in the main gym, took place in the auditorium this year. The layout of the auditorium pro¬ vided a natural division for the classes and made judging for the Spirit Stick competition a little simpler. Mrs. Ruby Niepokoj, Booster Club sponsor, and cheerleader Judy Lunn recited a Bulldog chant for each class to repeat three times as loud as they could . The competition began with the seniors and continued down to the freshmen. Juniors won the Spirit Stick. On the stage the cheerleaders suc¬ ceeded in trying a 18-person pyramid for the first time. The three squads also built this pyramid for the crowd before the game Homecoming Night. The pep rally brought to a close a week of activities the Booster Club and Stu¬ dent Council had planned. Monday was the traditional class color day with sen¬ iors dressing in red, juniors in blue, sophomores in yellow, and freshmen in green. Inside Out Day was next. A few stu¬ dents could be seen roaming the halls with shirts, jeans, and socks inside out. With the popularity of the urban cow¬ boy style this year. Western Day had the most participants. Many students wore at least a cowboy hat. Others added vests, boots, plaid shirts, and bandanas. Western does not always mean American cowboy as a few students proved by dressing Mexican style. Sweatsuit Day and Red and White Day brought the week’s activities to a close. At the annual Powder Puff game Wed¬ nesday night, the Red Tornado seniors defeated the White Lightning juniors, 33- 27 after a close game as both teams bat¬ tled for possession of the ball. 12—Homecoming Junior Tony Porras (middle) dresses Mexican style on Western Day during Spirit Week.
