Winning first place with their skit was Mr. Lindstrom's second hour class. Headed by Queen Joni, the snake dance ended at a bonfire outside the school where a paper-mache oriole was burned as a symbol of hopeful victory. The Friday night homecoming game was preceded by a show pre- pared by the band and choir. Matched against the Osseo Orioles, the Rangers were defeated 52-13. The half-time show consisted of creative routines by the band and flag girls. The royalty was introduced to the crowd, and the majorettes and Rangerettes also participated. Following the game an Alumni Polka was held in the high school cafeteria. Saturday night brought the Homecoming activi- ties to a close with a semi-formal dance. Argus , the band, provided music until 11:00. Homecoming 17

Weeks Of Practicing Make Play A Success On September 6-8, tryouts for the fall musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum took place. Eight rigorous weeks of practice began under the direc- tion of Ms. Howe. Headed by Mrs. Carlson, the costume crew produced authentic looking costumes while the set crew, with the instruction of Ms. Jensen, constructed an appealing set. Not to be forgotten were the lighting and publicity crews who helped make the play a success. The play centered around slave Pseudelous (Bucky Koch) who had to unite two star-crossed lovers in order to gain his freedom. Due to Bucky's appendectomy, the play was postponed a week. Ms. Howe and the cast agreed that although the musical was successful they were not satis- fied with their performance. 18 A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
