Homecoming 1975 stimulated student spirit and participation with a theme of Stars and Stripes Forever. Organizations began de¬ signing floats well in advance, but finished late Thursday night. In school festivities ex¬ tended over Spirit Week with each day given an unusual dress code such as Opposite Sex, Little Kids, Twinkie, Hick, and the traditional Blue and White Day.” Clark ' s annual Homecoming pep assembly included the traditional Yell Contest, which was won by the boisterous Juniors. A victory speech given by Coach Voris and a Senior Skit im¬ personating various teachers helped give the team incentive. Highlighting the celebration was the crowning of the Queen, Annette Noworyta. Colorful, well-made floats, which were entered in the parade, and a Booster Club lawn display, which depicted each player as a historical figure in U.S. history, increased the morale of Clarkites. The Homecoming battle against the Morton Gov- Varsity Cheerleaders ride in style throughout the Homecoming Parode. Band and Pom Pon girls present an excellent halltime performance. ernors began with a 0-0 halftime score. In a combined effort, the Pom Pons, Band, and Twirlers offered an excellent halftime presen¬ tation. As the night continued, it was obvious the Governors had dented the Homecoming Spirit by dealing out a 28-0 loss. However, the disappointing loss was soon forgotten the next evening with a dance featuring Novem¬ ber ' s Guest. This enjoyable experience added a few more treasured memories.

The Student Council sponsored the Winter Formal, which was held on December 19th at the St. John Panel Room. Different from other school dances, the event gave the girls as well as the guys the opportunity to ask that special someone. Though the sale of tickets started slowly, a total of one hundred and eight couples attended the annual holiday dance. The theme of the Winter Formal was Winter Wonderland, while a Christmas-time setting of red stockings, Christmas trees, and ice cream desserts topped with sprigs of holly added to the atmosphere of the Panel Room. As some couples spent the evening dancing to the music of Together, others found delight just being in each other ' s com¬ pany. Time between dances was spent wait¬ ing in line to take pictures or pausing for punch and cookies. As the evening con¬ cluded, couples were left with flowers and memories of an enchanting evening not to be forgotten. Student Lite Winter Formal 23
