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.

Preparation makes Turnabout Dance enjoyable for all The theme was “The Bells of Christ¬ mas,” and the setting that night was the cafeteria. It was decorated with a Christ¬ mas tree and snowflakes hung from the ceiling. Couples danced to music played by the band Stanza. Weeks before this night, girls went through the task of asking boys if they would like to go to the Turnabout Dance with them. After this had been accom¬ plished, boutonnieres and corsages were ordered from local florists. Dresses and suits were bought or old ones cleaned until they looked brand new. Tickets were bought from Inklings staff members. Also picture sign-ups were held for couples who wanted their pictures taken at the dance. Finally after all of this preparation. Turnabout night came. The dance lasted from 7 to 11 p.m. The couples danced to a variety of songs, ranging from hard rock to the soft strains of ballads. According to the tradition, the class princesses were chosen by ballot. When a girl came to the dance, her name was put into a box according to her class. Queen of the 1981 Turnabout was Carol Malinich. Junior princess was Sarah Homeier; sophomore princess, Rhonda Herr; and freshman princess. Sue Pren- dergast. After the many weeks of preparation for this dance, couples found the trouble well worth it. The 1981 Turnabout Dance will be remembered by many as a night filled with good music and pleasant memories of that “special someone.” Senior Cathy Shafer and Dan Rodriguez (top) share a quiet moment together.
