Those elected were, for queen: Jill Hilbrich, Cristina Ruiz, Lisa Govert, Tri- cia Jeremiah, and Kim Fil- kowski. For king, the nominees were: Mike Brill, Don Ritter, Dave Rhodes, Jeff Bridges, and Mike Burge. No one knew the winners and all were eagerly waiting for the outcome. The activities planned for the week were, Monday: Inside out and Backwards Day; Tuesday: Hat and Shades Day; Wednesday: Dress-Up Day; Thursday: Cos- tume Day and Activities Night; and Friday: Black and Gold Day and the moment which was an- ticipated the most, the big game against Calumet. Friday, after only a half day, the fun started with the annual Home- coming parade. Broad Street on September 28th was the scene of the 1984 Homecoming parade. The band marched out playing the school song. They interchangeably played “She Works Hard For The Money” and the school song. The Pantherettes did their routine while they marched in front, beside, and behind the band. Following this came the Homecoming cars carrying the queen candidates along with the senior, junior, and sopho- more floats. Next came the class cars. Each was decorated according to taste and each was designed to come in first. In the midst of all the competition, came the Booster Club, cheer- leaders, and sweater girls. As the people lined the streets, all that made up the 1984 Home- coming festivities marched or rode past, smiling and waving. They were all anxiously await- ing the big game against Calu- met.

y ififilf Want Fun? Go Cruising The bell rings. Students shuf- fle into the hall. Chris asks Keith, What are ya doin ' this weekend?” Keith looks around and says, “Nothin’ ” but sud- denly gets a flash in his eyes. Me and Sue are goin ' cruisin ' . Wanna come?” “Sure, it’ll be great!” What is cruising? A boat ride? Flying a kite? “Driving around a certain place a lot of times, said senior Sherri Wad- dle. She says the reason she cruises is to see the guys and people she knows. Also, just to get out and have fun. Broadway seems to be the hot spot for cruising. If you were to go out for a Sunday drive, you would probably spot many GHS students and most likely a lot of Highland, Mun- ster, and Merrillville kids, too, cruising along Broadway with their windows rolled down and the sound of Prince or Bruce Springsteen blasting out. If you are one of those who isn ' t into the scene, it wouldn ' t be unusual to find none of your friends at home on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Here you are, all the way to Sue or Jim ' s house and they’re not home. Why?” you ask yourself. What does cruising have that I don ' t? How could he he possibly have more fun speeding up and down the street, blasting that rock and roll than going to the Mall with me? Well, let me tell you. Mailing is out and cruising is in. Why do people cruise? What kind of individuals can one meet? Junior Sharyl Keith said, Guys in rock bands and every- thing.” If you’re wondering how to cruise, I’ll tell you. All you have to do is grab a couple of friends, hop into your dad’s beat up white Pontiac, roll down all the windows, crank up the radio, and prepare yourself for a shaky drive through the heart of Merrillville. If you locate a few foxy chicks or a couple of hunks, just stop and say “hi.” Don ' t be embarrassed, ' cause they ' re there for the same thrill as you are. After school blues.
