E:-TTT Fore ver The theme for this year's Homecoming was Forever Young , a song by the pro- gressive rock group, Alpho- ville. This theme was reflect- ed in the mood of Eisenhow- er's student body as Homecoming drew near. Spirits ron high as students participated in the activities during Homecoming week. Students were seen in every- thing from sunglasses and flowered shorts on Beach Day to hospital scrubs and nun's habits on Dress-l.ike- You-Will-in-lO-Years Day. The students also partici- pated in the annual Spirit Hall contest. The Spirit Halls were judged by Eisenhower's sec- retaries. The Seniors won first place with their hall, which in- cluded music by the Alterna- tive. The Juniors finished sec- ond, the Sophomores third and the Freshmen last. I Young The week culminated in the Homecoming assembly on Friday. The students gath- ered to cheer on the football team and the Queen and court were announced. Re- presentatives from each class competed in wheelbar- row races, a tug-of-war con- test, a limbo contest, and on ice-cream eating contest. Doug Ausnehmer won the ice-cream eating contest for the third year in a row, His victory helped the Seniors win the class competition. Ben Hogue, the Senior class president, was rewarded by getting to throw pies in the faces fond hair? of the other closs presidents. Unfortunately, the football team lost the Homecoming game against the Danville Vi- kings, but this didn't stop the students from having a great Homecoming. u -,su pgs 4, n i 39,11 5,!i,.g W, 11-01 0 avr 1 1 l Q -limi uialv 1 ,-we ..

Floating Along lt was Thursday, October 30, and the Senior class sud- denly realized that, with Homecoming only 24 hours away, they still didn't have a float for the Homecoming parade. So, a few brave Sen- iors spent all Thursday night and early Friday morning building a float. Fortunately, the float was done in time for the parade. Unfortunately, it had to be carried because a flat bed could not be found in time. lt didn't win first place, but the Seniors had fun try- ing. The Junior's float The Opera of Defeat won first place with its depiction of Nl-lelga the Opera Lady bat- tling a giant panther. The Sophomores won sec- ond place with their float, i i Jrviiriq pflfflflfi while the Freshman won third place. The Seniors l'won last place with their float of a destroyed Viking ship. The floats were judged by three celebrity iudges: Gail Simpson from WAND televi- sion station, Orv Graham from WSOY radio station, and Judy Locke from the De- catur Park Board. There were other things in this year's parade besides floats, though. There were a total of 28 entries, including many Eisenhower Organiza- tions. Eisenhower's principal, Mr. l-lengst was the Grand Marshall. Everyone agreed that the parade manager, Debbie Anderson, did a great job organizing this year's pa- rode.
