It’s Homecoming night, October 20. It’s been a very hectic week with all the preparations we’ve had to make for the float and the pep rally, etc. Finally everything is done. I gazed out upon the football Field and the lights glowed in the distance, homecoming comes but once a year and the true excitement lies in the question, ‘Who will be voted the prettiest, most popular girl in school?’ It’s cold outside, but everyone is warm with excitement that Fills the air. Finally, the buzzer sounds and it’s halftime. Hearts begin to beat faster, and the tension mounts. The announcer comes on and 1978 Gavit football Home- coming court is announced: Lisa Beck, escorted by Dave Hollis; Laura Csonka, escorted by Dudley Latham; Jody Kosanovich, escort- ed by Tim Cunningham; Michelle Levin, escorted by Nick Kikalos; Letty Perez, escorted by Mike Thompson; Dana Shike, escorted by Jason Lamb; Shiela Tite, escort- ed by Tom Zerkel; and the 1977 Homecoming Queen, Dorothy Mrzlock, escorted by Jeff Wright. Then, the announcer says, ‘The 1978 Homecoming Queen is ... Shiela Tite! Screams of joy were Heard from all over the stands, and Shiela Tite was crowned the 1978 Gavit Football Homecoming Queen.

‘We’re Still The One!” At a certain time in October as fall approaches and most all is still, there is a place in Hammond which is restless, active and loud — a place which flows with school spirit. Have you guessed where this place is? Certainly! It’s Gavit High School on Homecoming week, screaming with enthusiasm “We’re still the One!” But who shouted louder among the Gavit students? Who showed more spirit? The Class of ’79 did as they took on the 1978 Homecoming Spirit Award. The sen- iors not only expressed their spirit by shouting, but also by taking active part in all of the wacky activities put on by Student Council for Spirit Week. Apart from shouting and screaming, the Gavit students also worked diligently on constructing their floats. Each float resulted into a great piece of art. The freshmen float was especially fine as their float, themed “We’ve Tamed the Ti- gers!,” won them the Float Award. Yes folks, after the 1978 Homecoming, Gavit’s still the one!
