touches on class floats in time for the evening Homecoming parade. After spending weeks transforming chicken wire and tissue paper into the winning float, “Box ’Em In,” juniors were rewarded a trophy for their efforts. “Injuneer A Victory” got the seniors second place and sophomores took third with “De-Feet ’Em”. Highlighting halftime festivities was the crowning of Homecoming queen Cindy Jansen. Students voted from a court of five girls. As a climax to Homecoming night, the Panthers scalped the Calumet Warriors, 33-13, which raised their overall Homecoming record to 15-7. After the game students retreated to the gym for the dance, with “Spectrum” providing the music. When Homecoming was over, it seemed to alumni they had never left. The plot had remained the same, only character names had changed. Touchdown! Panthers score another six points to increase the lead in a 33-13 victory over the Calumet Warriors. “Scalp the Warriors” is the goal of Mark Spitz as he bursts through the Homecoming hoop.

Queen candidates turn peddlers seniors win in Powder Puff, 8-6 “Well, sports fans, here we are again at the game of the year, event of the century, Powder Puff football. Yessir, folks! Oh, oh, here comes the kickoff . . it’s caught, she’s running, running for the wrong goal ! ” Maybe Powder Puffers aren’t that bad, but not many varsity players think girls will be making the team next year. Seniors, when they finally got their directions straight, edged past juniors 8-6. The booster block, mainly sophomores, was partial to the seniors. Although players last year, sophomores were excluded because the game lasted too long. They consoled each other with cries of, “Wait ’til next year! We’ll show ’em! ” A I .m 1 r 1 ft 1 v 1 i Donning the girls’ skirts, Greg Van Horrsen, Walt Rueskin, Bob Rastovski and Henry Schmell kept spirits up and seniors going as they led the Booster Club in their cheers. After pulling the girls through the game, they went on to root for the queen candidates in the tricycle races where Cherri Holme and Chris Barta each took a first. The class tug-of-wars followed tricycle races. The football field was flooded with anxious juniors ready to take on seniors. Seniors were dragged closer to the mark until they finally succumbed to the juniors. Next sophomores swarmed the field, and promptly out-pulled both classes to emerge 1974 champs. Sophomores proved they had arm power, but juniors captured lung power honors. Sophomores, juniors and seniors began yelling, “F-I-G-H-T, FIGHT!” After listening to each class judges Mr. Neal Eikenberry, Mr. Larry Owen and Coach Jim Bartlett presented the juniors with the spirit flag. Activities Night may never make ABC’s Wide World of Sports, but it serves to raise spirits for Homecoming or just fill an otherwise dull evening. Springing up with excitement, sophomore Mike Blythe releases a cry of victory as his class defeats the seniors in the tug-of-war struggles. Grace and poise aren ' t the only qualities of a queen candidate. Cindy Jansen and Chris Barta find it also takes a sense of humor. ' ' We’re number one! chants the senior Powder Puff team after beating the juniors 8-6, marking the second consecutive year the Class of 75 claims the title. 7
