An animated, crazed week For everyone involved in the preparation of the various homecoming festivities, the work started weeks before the big event. The official event, however, started on Monday with the begin- ning of spirit week. Students showed their excitement by wearing shades on Monday, sweats on Tuesday, their inter- pretation of the infamous Bernie Moore on Wednes- day, a costume of their favorite cartoon character on Thursday, and, the traditional blue and gold on Friday. The hallways and classrooms showed signs of the homecoming theme, Cartoon Craze, as im- ages of Dumbo the Elephant, Yogi Bear, and Smurfs appeared everywhere. All of the hard work by the student body came alive as the parade started down the streets of Findlay. Once again, the senior float won the float contest. The parade led the crowd right up to the game between our Tro- jans and the Elyria Pioneers. Despite the increasing amount of rain, many loyal fans remained to see the football game and to support the Trojans through a 3-0 defeat by the Pioneers. Spirit week traditionally ended with the football game and the coronation of the king and queen. As the anticipation increased for this finale, so did the amount of rain. Yet, all participants in the homecoming event will say that the rain did not ruin the evening, rather it made the night even more memorable. Homecoming 13

School spirit shines through During homecoming week all types of events take place that keep prac- tically everyone busy. The most exciting event is the final one, the homecoming dance. And it turned out to be a real success. Cartoon Craze was the theme and the dance was sponsored by student council and held October 19, in the school cafeteria. According to student council adviser, Mr. Dan Matheny, the dance was the most successful in re- cent years. Audio Express provided the music and gave a great show that made the crowd go wild, giving the students a night they would never forget:' Some of the guys were so involved in the music and the dancing they took off their shirts and put ties around their heads. You could never catch anyone passively sitting around. Everyone was either dancing, eating and drink- ing punch or just plain socializing. The homecoming was one of the most unique ever because everyone was together and let our school spirit shine through. 14 Homecoming
