Homecoming- Spirit soars October 3 started the Homecoming Spirit Week at Crown Point High School. Monday gave way to Class Colors Day. Freshmen with school spirit dressed in green, sophomores in yellow, juniors in blue, and seniors in red. Tuesday was Baseball Appreciation Day. Students wore t- shirts, sweatshirts, and hats displaying their favorite baseball team. Even some teachers got into the action by wearing buttons proclaiming SOX or some other team name. On Wednesday, even some non-jocks displayed their school spirit by wearing sweatsuits on Sweatsuit Day. Thursday was an exciting day for many students. They could dress up and not be laughed at because it was Dress Up Day. For many teachers, this was the first and only time that they would see some of their students dressed up. Friday brought Spirit Week to a close with Red and White Day. Many students, along with their red and white attire, wore spirit ribbons and hats, and carried Bulldog pom-pons that they had bought during the week. Not only was Friday Red and White Day, it was the day of the Homecoming game. To pump up the spirit of students and teachers, an assembly was held during sixth hour. The cheer¬ leaders led the school in cheering for the football team, and the assembly ended with the singing of the school song. Later Friday night the Bulldogs took on Calumet’s Warrior football team. The team proved, by beating the Warriors, that Spirit Week is not only fun, but is also beneficial to the team’s morale. 12

Turnabout i 6 ... the once in a lifetime chance Turnabout is the once in a lifetime chance for girls to reverse the role and fill the guys’ shoes by asking them to the dance. For some the reverse role was a welcome change of pace, but for others it was an impossible task. As the dance drew nearer, whispers filled the halls: Ask him, ask him, now’s your chance.” No, I can’t. He ' ll never say yes.” If he did say yes, the smiling girl at¬ tended the dance with the date of her choice, on the night of December 3 with Fools Heart as the evening’s entertain¬ ment. As in the past the queen and class princesses were drawn at random. Each class princess received a rose and the queen received four. The freshman class princess was Angie Rich; sopho¬ more princess, Kim Witten; and junior princess, Tracy Bal. As the name was drawn for the 1983 Turnabout Queen, silence and excitement filled the room. The name tag was chosen and Becky McCoole was the lucky recipient of the title. With the court selection complete, the silence again turned into noisy chatter. The dance floor was once again crowd¬ ed with couples. As 11 p.m. grew closer, the noise died down and the dance floor emptied. For seniors the Turnabout Dance will be a memory, but for the others, another dance will once again allow the chance for the switched roles and for the excite¬ ment of it all.
