Rivalry between the senior and junior classes resulted in a ' 74 marred, toilet- paper draped school. An early morning shower damaged the 1973 Homecoming Lawn Display, therefore the parts of the display that were salvaged were set to dry and later hung from the outside of the building. The Thursday before that special day, classes and clubs were wearily trying to finish their float, while fighting away the coming dawn. Tensions mounted as frantic students rushed into the old gym for the pep assembly. Senior class members presented a high-spirited skit predicting a hopeful win against Clark ' s opponent. Sue Witzke was crowned Queen, while a mob of her joyous classmates crowded around her. Faculty members were extremely pleased with the spirit of the senior class as they received the first place ribbon in the yell contest. Shielded by bulky coats, hats, and mittens, faithful fans battled the 47° weather to participate in the festivities. Capturing first place in class and club float competition were the senior class and the Spanish Club. This was the first time for the class of ' 74 to receive a first, stirring up a bit of controversy because of its size and its two and a half foot live rabbit. Alumni renewed old acquaintances during halftime, while the band, Twirlers, and Pom pons concentrated on their routines. The Pioneer loss to the Hammond High Wildcats dulled the glittering evening. The excitement was renewed the following evening at the Homecoming Dance. Students ended the excitement and rivalry just as quickly as it was started. 20
