Homecoming '81 Clawson, Robl crowned King and Queen Though a disappointing 8-0 loss to the Sterling Black Bears Oct. 9 end- ed the 1981 Homecoming festivities, the general feeling was a feeling of success toward the day. The day started with an all school pep assembly by the EHS cheer- leaders. During the assembly they awarded the junior and sophomore classes the spirit awards for winning Spirit Week. The next prize went to Monte Miller, junior, for winning the Mr. Irresistible contest. Following a pep talk by Head Coach Bill Seidl, the day continued to the Homecom- ing assembly. The Homecoming assembly took place in the auditorium that after- noon at 2:30. Seniors Jess Starkey and Michelle Branson were the mas- ter and mistress of ceremonies. They announced the candidates with the accompaniment of sophomore Bar- bara Biays on the piano. Rita Robl and Kraig Clawson were then crowned Homecoming queen and king. The brother and sister combo of junior Darrell Seitz and senior So- nya Seitz sang “Looking Through the Eyes of Love.” The theme, Fall Fete, was rein- forced by the stage setting of huge leaves painted in fall colors. Crownbearers were Rebecca Herr- man, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Herman, and Joel Dewey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Dewey. The game that night against the Sterling Black Bears was scoreless until the last two and a half minutes when the Sterling quarterback threw a touchdown pass. Fog started rolling onto the field about the second quarter, making it almost impossible for the fans to de- termine which team was running the ball, and worse yet, where the two teams were. “You couldn’t see very far down the field, and it was hard on the re- ceiver to see the ball especially,” ju- nior tackle Jim Helfrich said. Later that night the Student Council sponsored a dance, with the group “Power Glide,” in the gym.

Spirit Explosion!! Juniors, sophomores share Spirit Week win Spirit Week is the one week you can come to school without combing your hair or putting on clean clothes. Spirit Week began on Monday, Oct. 5, and ended on Friday, Oct. 9. Mon- day was Crazy Day; Tuesday, West- ern Day; Wednesday, Twin Day; Thursday, 50’s Day and Mr. Irresisti- ble; and Friday, Dress Up Day. The week opened with Crazy Day, and all four classes were in the race to see who had the most spirit. The juniors came out on top Monday, but were pushed out of this position on Tuesday by the seniors who proved they could “round’em up” for West- ern Day. Wednesday, “Twin Day”, the sophomores stole the show. 50’s Day was on Thursday, and the soph- omores raked in the points to tie the juniors for first place, with 120 points. The juniors and sophomores received a Super Spirit Award at the Homecoming pep assembly Friday. The seniors and freshman came up with 80 points each for second place. Something new this year was the “Mr. Irresistible” contest that was held on Thursday, along with 50’s Day. The idea was that every girl in Crazy? Well, maybe just a little. Shelly Thom- as, Stacie Brown, and Patty Peintner show what crazy means to them. (Photo by Dale Hogg) Elephant man? No, it’s just Sonya Seitz par- ticipating on Twin Day. Her twin for the day was DeAnn Isern. (Photo by Lorri DeWerff) the high school was given a HUSh button and was to refrain from talk ing to any high school guy the rest o the day. If they did talk to the guy they had to give their HUSH buttor to him. At the end of the day, the gu with the most HUSH buttons was crowned “Mr. Irresistible” at the pe[ assembly on Friday. The 1981 “Mr Irresistible” was Monte Miller. H« was crowned and given, from thf cheerleaders, a token of affection — a pair of underwear with hearts printed on them. 13
