Prospects for the Home¬ coming game did not look promising during the school day. It seemed as if it would rain forever, and the tradition of rain during the Homecom¬ ing game would be kept. But after the school day ended, the sun broke through. There was finally a Homecoming without rain. Despite the sloppy field, the Bulldogs defeated Lowell. Mr. Football, Mike Socci, rushed for 113 yards. The rain was not the only tradition that was broken. The parade started at 6 p.m., and CRIS COWAN, ESCORTED by se¬ nior Rob Petro, was crowned Home¬ coming Queen before the game. the crowning of the queen took place before the game, rather than at halftime. But when the queen was crowned, one tradi¬ tion was not broken. Senior Cris Cowan was crowned Homecoming Queen, following in the footsteps of all of her sisters. They had all been queen of one of the dances when they were in high school. The other queen candidates were Tammy Boggess, Jennifer Johnston, and Tricia Maloney. The princesses were Lynda Lu¬ cas, Jennifer Pavlo, Megann Lesnick. WHILE RIDING IN THE PARADE, Tammy Boggess and Doug Macke still find time to wave to their friends. A pep assembly was held for the first time in three years. The Booster Club sponsored the Homecoming assembly. Many cheers echoed through the gymnasium as all of the fall sports teams were recognized. In powder puff action, the freshman and senior teams washed up the sophomore and junior teams. Monique Murga and Kris Szabo were named most valuable players. Sheila Alvarez was named the most outstanding player. 8 QUEEN CANDIDATE JENNIFER KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY, JOHNSTON and her date Mike queen candidate Tricia Maloney is Apolskis enjoy their ride in the pa- excorted by her brother, rade.

STUDENT LIFE Free time includes recreation, relaxation, jobs The school bell rings at ex¬ actly 2:30 p.m. t o dismiss the students from a seemingly end¬ less Friday. Students pour out of the school doors to the park¬ ing lots to discuss their plans for the weekend. Students have many activi¬ ties from which to choose. Stardust Bowling Alley is a popular choice for many. After bowling, a variety of movies are available at the Southlake Mall. The Putt-Putt Golf Course in Merrillville is also a hit. After some of these activi¬ ties, students go to McDonald’s or Burger King to eat and talk to friends. Some students find that they don’t even have to leave Crown Point to have fun. During autumn, football games provide time to socialize with friends, and time to cheer on players. At the close of football season, the basketball team takes over. Various clubs spon¬ sor after game sock hops in the main gym. When the sock hops end at 11 p.m., students rush to McDonald’s to catch up on all the latest gossip. Still other students are not quite as fortu¬ nate. While many students are out having fun, some have jobs and work most of the week¬ end. Most often, students work in fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s, Burger King, or Rax. But students also have a variety of other jobs. Some stu¬ dents work in shops in the Southlake Mall or in shops around town. Whether the weekend is spent working or playing, it is time to get away from the mon¬ otony of school temporarily. SENIOR IRENE MONROE and her date Bob Hiller dance to the song “Twist and Shout” at the Homecom¬ ing. FRESHMAN STUDENTS ENTER THE BUILDING on a Monday morn¬ ing to begin another typical school day.
