As Homecoming week arrived, the festivities got off on the right foot with students participat- ing in Spirit Week. The themes included: Nerd, New Wave, Pajama, College, and Jersey (orange black) Days. During the Thursday night pep rally, Sindy Crockett was crowned Homecoming Queen. The assembly Friday afternoon held the air of anticipation as the sophomore class was crowned winner of the Spirit Week class compe- tition. The rally continued on the square as Caro- lyn Louden (Icebox) and Roger McHone (McMa- hon) announced the winners of the Baby Picture Contest. Dressed as Bears football players, Lou- den and McHone sang the Homecoming Shuffle. The winners were as follows; third place was Phil Griener, second place was Bryan Owens, and first place went to Rob Hoskins. Long time sports booster, Jim Kennedy, motiviated the crowd with his pep talk. Student Council members were involved in decorating the gym and contacting previous queen candidates who were recognized before the football game. The 20-28 Algona Garrigan victory dampened many spirits. Although the football game was cold and the team defeated, the Homecoming Dance was a great success with the help of KRNA, who provided the music. 13
