When anyone at Crown Point thinks of homecoming, he automatically thinks of rain. The traditional rainfall set in as the parade departed from the high school, and it continued to fall throughout the evening. But, the unfavor¬ able weather conditions did not dampen the spirits of any¬ one when the Bulldogs suc¬ cessfully defeated the Mus¬ tangs 7-3 and captured the Conference championship. At the onset of the evening at approximately 6 p.m., the annual parade sponsored by the Student Council began. The Homecoming activities were officially on their way. At around 7:00 after the parade had concluded on the football field the crowd anxiously awaited to see who would be this year’s Homecoming Queen. The overwhelming ap¬ proval of the student body gave the crown to senior Shel¬ ly Garber. Karen DePaoli, Lynda Lucas, and Kelly Rob¬ inson were also queen candi¬ dates. The princesses repre¬ senting the underclasses were junior Allison Smith, sopho¬ more Wendy Fletcher, and freshman Holly Harbin. When halftime rolled around, the Royal Regiment entertained the crowd with their field show production of “Grease”. At the announce¬ ment of the float competition winners during halftime, the disappointed senior class saw the sophomores take first place in the class float compe¬ tition. The German Club re¬ ceived first in the activities float competition and the for¬ eign language car was voted the best decorated. Earlier on in the week at the powderpuff game, the sopho¬ more-junior team demolished the freshman-senior team with a score of 41-6. Junior Michelle Bonini was voted the Most Valuable Player. Sopho¬ more Allison Baxter and se¬ nior Ann Pearman also re¬ ceived recognition as out¬ standing players from both teams.
