Purgold: A Special Day Our cross country team has one meet that is different from all the rest and that’s Purgold. How many meets can you go to where you can hear the band, watch the pom pon girls and cheerleaders, see the queen and her court, and most of all watch the purple and gold harriers run, all in one day? The meet really starts the day before with an assembly where the Purgold Court and cross country team is announced. This year’s Purgold King and Queen are Mike Buerger and Lynn Tracy. The court is: Jackie Romich and Mike Conrad, Liz Tatera and Scott Walker, Suzanne Pritzlaff and Jim Borowski, Judy Lahr and Jim Ciurlik, and Sue Pekar and Dan Lesch. After the assembly we have a short practice in which we hear the story about Bernie. Mr. Wetzel and Mr. Thalman have done all they can to prepare us for the meet. The outcome depends upon us, and how much effort we put forth. The boy's varsity finished in 2nd place. Mike Conrad finished first for Cudahy followed by Dan Lesch, Jim Borowski, Scott Walker, and Mike Buerger. The boy’s junior varsity finished in 2nd place. Mike Stolz finished first for Cudahy followed by Drago Trifunovich, Jamie Lesch, Brendan Moran, and Mark Szymczak. The girl’s finished in 4th place. Diane Williams won the meet, and also scoring for Cudahy was Robin Koenig, Julie Otte, Cheryl Segedi, and Paula Pehowski. Purgold becomes a special event because everyone involved helps to make it a special day.

Broadway ’81 This year the Fiddler on the Roof and Little Orphan Annie took over Cudahy High School for a week. This year’s Spirit Week and Homecoming theme was Broadway and the whole school took part in the ac- tivities. “The Braodway theme fits Cuaahy perfectly, everyone should be in the spotlight,” said Julie Mandich. SPIRIT WEEK “Spirit Week is the best part of the school year. Everyone is involved in something, and school spirit is at its peak,” said Liz Tatera. Liz was right. There were many activities anin- dividual could become a part of during Spirit Week. The football players competed in the annual Mr. Sexy Lees Contest. Ed Kujawa was the winner. Other activities included 50’s day, Homeroom win- dow decorating, costume day, overall day, and of course Friday was Color day. At the assembly the whole gym seemed to be purple and gold. Our four football coaches, Mr. Bowe, Mr. Venne, Mr. Schmidt, and Mr. Trickey, all had their hair painted purple and gold. It was a sight to see. The court made its ap- pearance in front of the school, headed by King Jeff Sanfelippo and Queen Jacqui Hammel. HOMECOMING Spirit Week climaxed with the game on Friday night against West Milwaukee and tne dance Satur- day night. Homecoming is the last big spirit event for a senior. After that the year just coasts until gradua- tion,” said Steve Trinkl. Cudahy was victorious against West Milwaukee. At halftime Dave Mueller ana Queen Jacqui did the an- nual burning of the C”. Saturday night the Homecoming dance was held at Junior High East. Everyone danced to country rock music ana had a great time. The whole school was a part of Homecoming and Spirit Week, yet it was a time to show off your own in- dividual self. Costume day was a time to show off our individuality in the form of your costume. Color day was a day to see if you could outdress your friends. Spirit Week and Homecoming are often referred to as tne most exciting events of the school year. Mike Meyers, a member of the court, commented, “This is the best time of the year. Everybody is hyper.” Being on Homecoming court was quite a thrill. It all went so fast!” said John Schultz. I guess Mark Kossel summed up the feeling of the students. That week was great! Everyone was going nuts. I just wish the whole school year could be like that one week.”
