A week to remember Edina-West Homecoming 75 was a week filled with exciting events backed by enthusiastic school spirit. It started out with a grueling traditional touch football game involving the Senior Women and the Junior Girls Varsity. The seniors dominated the game 44-7. The activities continued with Coronation on Thursday evening. The ceremony took place in the Edina-West gym with Queen Kathy Deasey and King Andy Phillips being crowned. The Homecoming soccer game against Richfield followed Coronation with Edina-West suffering a narrow defeat, 2-1. Friday’s Homecoming pepfest included the original A-BUF, ' the Cougarats, and several male cheerleaders. The cheerleaders also entertained the crowd with a skit giving them some insight into fall sports teams. An added attraction included two live cougars. Spirits were high going into the game, even with Richfield favored to win. Hopes of a Cougar victory were dampened as the Spartans took and held an early lead. But even the 42-17 loss couldn’t ruin the highlight of the week, the Homecoming dance. The activity took place at Butler Square downtown. The band for the evening was Chicago-oriented '‘Aire. ’ More than 200 couples turned out for the dance, the highest attended dance record in the history of Edina-West, commented Nancy Solberg. chairman of the dance committee. The whole week was a terrific success. Mary Rzeszut commented, The homecoming committee brought out the type of involvement Edina-West is capable of, they deserve full credit for the activities. 24 HOMECOMING 1782 — Revolutionary war over

1784 — The Boston Centinel founded Holiday spirit The annual Holiday Vocal Concert included all five Edina-West campus choirs and the three additional small choral groups. The most impressive selections of the evening were the Hallelujah Chorus” and Chestnuts sung by the near 450-member mass choir. As was the custom, mass choir was accompanied by the Edina-West orchestra. The concert commenced with the concert choir singing Alma Redemptoris from the commons in total darkness. This was an effective opening that attracted the audience’s full attention. Next the curtains opened revealing the varsity choir, which performed several numbers featuring two Jewish holiday folk songs. In its turn, the vocal chorale presented songs in the holiday spirit including Alleluia. Before the mass choir, concert choir appeared featuring their most challenging selection, Chichester Psalms.” Chamber Singers and Treble Singers also added to the entertainment. After try-outs following Christmas vacation, the cast of The Brute, comprised of Jeidre Segur (11), Joe Tambornino (12) and Terrie Maley (12). began working on their entry in the state drama competition. The three cast members worked hard and fast because they had a very short period of time in which to perfect the one-act play. Unfortunately, during the week of the contest, one of the cast members became ill and the play could not be entered in the competition. However, it was performed during the school day for the entertainment of those students who were able to see it. The play itself was a farce involving a conflict between a boisterous, arrogant man and a meek, emotional woman. 26 HOLIDAY VOCAL CONCERT
