Barons Celebrate The start of fall brings colder tem- peratures, football, and Homecom- ing. On Friday night, October 8, the Barons achieved a 21-14 win over the Homestead Spartans to capture a Homecoming victory. During halftime the 1976-77 Homecoming queen was announced. Last year’s queen, Jan Ely Phillips, was on hand to crown her successor, Karen Schlosser. Karen’s escort was Tim Simon. Other Senior candidates were Susie Lenhard and Val Wurm. They were escorted by Kevin Bender and Lynn Duncan. The Junior class attendant was Debbie Baker with Dan Schaeffer as her escort. Jill Kuhlhorst represented the Sopho- more class with Rex Feller escorting her. A semi-formal dance was held in the commons on Saturday, October 9, to celebrate the football victory and to honor the queen and her court. The Senior class chose “Old Fa- shioned Love Song” for the theme of Homecoming 9 (6-. 0up es anced io Kelly Wyss and Jan Wertenberger await the The attractive Queen and her court are seated the music of the Paul Nerger Band. line of football players to burst through the amidst old fashioned quilts and chairs as they hoop they spent the afternoon making. reign over the dance. 12 Homecoming

Vou've Got to Have Heart Sheer determination throughout eruelling rehearsals resulted in the excellent production of Adler and Ross’s “Damn Yankees.” ‘Heart,’ which was the theme song of the musical, was evident from the first audition through to the final per- formance. Individual performances were greatly appreciated by the captive au- dience, as were the efforts of the make-up and stage crew, band and the moving forces behind it all in the form of the directors, Mr. Markiton, Mr. Stickler, and Mr. Nagel. “Damn Yankees” tells of the trans- formation of a middle-aged Washing- ton Senators fan Joe Boyd, portrayed by Don Dickman, into the young vi- gorous player for that same baseball team played by Mark Kuechler. The executor of this change is a cynical devil, played by Dave Maier, who hopes to gain Joe’s soul as payment for this aid to the Senators. Trouble starts and continues to thicken in this delightfully funny sto- ry. But, as in all good comedies, a happy ending results when Joe re- turns to his wife leaving behind a baf- fled baseball team ... and one very angry devil. Blaine Lumpkins, the owner of the Washing- ton Se nators, signs his autograph for an eager baseball fan, Deb Dicken. Lola (Kim Conrad) turns on the charm as she tries to get a surprised Joe Hardy (Mark Kuechler) to go for a night on the town.
