 Friday, September 29 had finally arrived. Students in grades 7-12. parents. teachers and alumni crowded into the gym for the Homecoming pep-fest to psyche up the players and spectators for the upcoming weekend. The pep-fest was a take off on the Gong Show with Phil Duoos as host and three teachers as judges. Skits and songs were performed by different organizations in hopes of receiving applause and a high score. Winning the contest with a perfect score was the Whigrean staff with a Homecoming version of the song, “Summer Nights. from the movie Grease. Another highlight included a hysterical dance by art teacher Tom Beaver which brought the crowd to its feet. At 5:45 p.m. the Homecoming parade left Wooddale school, winding its way through the streets of Edina. The bands set the pace, accompanied by the senior women on the fire engine, the royal court. Hornettes. cheerleaders and colorful floats. Junior Girls’ Varsity won first prize for the best float. At the football game against the Minnetonka Skippers, the boisterous crowd paid little attention to the chilly autumn air. It proved to be a spine-tingling game as the ball moved from one team to the other. The Hornets narrowly managed to win 35-34, in an exciting overtime game. Make Tonka Toys Outa' Skipper Boys certainly proved to be an appropriate slogan! Saturday night’s dance was indeed A Night With the Stars. Stars in the sky. stars from the football game, posters of movie stars and a star performance by Dan Trudeau’s band. Orion. After couples dined at various Twin Cities' restaurants or shared a romantic dinner at home, most made it to school for the dance. An old Rolls Royce parked by the entrance added a touch of class to the evening. The decorations were so effectively done, the first floor area was unrecognizable. After the dance couples went to parties or perhaps made a visit to their favorite parking spot. Thus ended an exciting evening and memorable week. 1.
