He’s the eptimy of Spirit Week-Fred- die Falcon. Freddie was animated this year by senior Jeff Flannery as it is a tradition for a “mystery” senior to play Freddie each year. Painting on just some of the magical faces in DCs Magic Kingdom is sen- ior Betsy Camardo. Betsy’s cartoon- ist ability was a great addition to both the gym decorations and the senior car for the parade which she helped decorate. Who wouldn't be proud to have royalty in the family?

Welcome to DC’s Magic Kingdom nd welcome to the wonderful world of Disney! Well, actual- ly, welcome to Divine Child and its Magic Kingdom! “DC’s Magic Kingdom” was the 1987 Homecoming theme. No, it didn’t appear magically out of thin air, but took weeks and weeks of preparation on the part of the Student Council. Weeks before the festivities even began, the senior boys were contemplating who they wanted to be on the Home- coming Court. Each senior girl looked forward to being on the court, but unfortunate- ly their can only be seven. The members of this year’s lucky court were: Julie Currier, Marla Decina, Danielle Gee, Beth Jary, Julie Majeske, Debbie Oliverio, and Mi- chelle Whalen. These lucky seven waited anxiously for Homecoming Day, when the Queen was to be announced. The theme of DC’s Magic Kingdom revloved around Disney and all its wonderful characters. Monday of Spirit Week was titled Frontier Day. To gain Spirit points for their class, students dressed as cowboys, indians, or fron- tier pioneers. Also, taco’s and root beer were sold at lunch, while Student Council mem- bers sold “chewin’ tobacco” (shredded bubble gum) and bags of gold coins. T uesday was Disney Char- acter Day. The halls were filled with Donald Ducks, Mickey Mouses, Goofys, Al- ices in Wonderland, Snow White and her seven (well maybe more) dwarfs. To go along with the dressing up. Mouse hats were sold at the Falcon’s Nest and Disney popsicles were sold at lunch. Wednesday was Mouseke- teer Day. The requirement was to wear any article of clothing that had Mickey or Minnie Mouse on it. Once again Mouse ears and popsi- cles were sold, and an added attraction was Disney suckers, continued... Congratulations to the Class of 91. They earned the most spirit points during Spirit Week. Freshman Amy Bimberg accepted the trophy for her class at halftime. Photo by: Craines 6 Spirit Week

Try ing for that last bit of yardage be- fore the clock runs down. The at- tempt however was not enough; and the Falcons went on to be defeated by their arch-rival, Aquinas. As the parade marches on to Crest wood field so does sophomore Melissa Capler. The Dearborn Heights field was Falcon territory for all home games. A case of the royal munchies for Homecoming Court members sen- iors Danielle Gee and Beth Jary. It was a bit cool out for a ride with the top down but, the court braved the elements and smiled from atop their chariots during the Homecoming game. 8 Homecoming Another mouseketeer, no its sopho- mores Melissa McFee and Chrissy Cooper helping her to affix her Mick- ey-Mouse trademark mouseketeer ears. Wednesday of Spirit Week was Mousketer Day and everyone was en- couraged to get into the theme with ears avaiable in the Falcon’s Nest for a nominable fee.
