A storybook finish After a week of students generating spirit, Homecoming ended with a dra- matic climax. It may have been a warm 60 degrees outside, but inside the gym, temperatures were rising. No one seemed to mind, though. They would witness a storybook finish. The junior varsity basketball team held the audience on edge through the fourth quarter of their game as Lowell’s Red Devils staged a furious rally to stun the Wildcats, 31-30. Lowell never led until the final sec- onds of the game. The varsity took their cue for excitement from the JV squad but managed to turn the tables on Lowell, 51-50, in a thrilling double overtime contest. It was also the first varsity victory of the season. At halftime of the varsity game, the girls chosen as class representatives were escorted into the Homecoming limelight. Representing the freshman class was Monica Sisney, who was escorted by Bobby Barnes. Sopho- mores Liz Steuer and escort Tim Jung received the cheers of their class when they took the floor. Finally, jun- ior representative Diane Urbanczyk was escorted by Steve Seils, a 1977 graduate. Candidates for Homecoming queen appeared on the floor last. Sandy Baacke, escorted by Greg Madouros, was in the ceremony for the fourth consecutive year. Kim Boling, who was a Junior Miss candidate, was escorted by Scott Seils, a 1980 Han- over graduate. Becky Watson, also a Junior Miss candidate, was escorted by senior Bob Blouin. Sue Harrison, known for her singing role in “Fiddler on the Roof,” was escorted by Steve Huppenthal, a 1979 graduate. The final candidate was Karen Kenning, winner of the Cedar Lake Junior Miss title, escorted by 1978 graduate Carl Jonason. After a brief picture taking session, the selection of Becky Watson as Homecoming queen was announced. Selection of Mr. Basketball honors was the final part of the evening’s cer- emony. Candidates for the title and their dates included Jeff Grant and Rose Agnello, Rick Kruit and Bev Hoeckelberg, Bill Torrence and Lee Ann Iaconetti, Karry Speichert and Cindy Stavem, and Joe Tanner and Karen Underwood. Rick Kruit walked off the floor with the title, selected by the student body. T-Swan” entertained a large crowd at the traditional Homecoming dance. The long basketball game caused the dance to be extended for an extra hour. It was a fitting end to what many people said was the best Homecoming week Hanover ever had. Mr. Basketball candidate joe Tanner and bis date Karen Underwood practice for the introduction of Mr. Basketball candidates. Free throws made the difference because the game was so close. Jeff Grant adds one to the score. The game was as close as this jump ball between Rick Kruit and a Lowell oppo- nent. Kruit and Kurt Kenning, guards, scored 10 and 6 points respectively. Center Jeff Grant, had 7 points. Forwards Karry Speichert and Bill Torrence netted 4 and 19 points. 14 — Spirit Week

were required to obey (within reason) the commands of their newly acquired “masters. Kim Boling was sold for $17, the highest amount paid for a slave. Banana and pie eating contests, chug-a-lug, egg throwing, and the race of oranges were among the games held on Wednesday. Not many seniors signed up for the games, however, because they had jobs after school. Student council sold pies to be thrown at Mr. Joseph Fetty, Mr. Rob- ert Krol, and Mr. Greg Whitacre. There was a great demand for other teachers to get pies in their faces. Mr. Uhl and Miss Thomson were only two of the teachers who received such requests by the students. The slaves were painted-up and given signs to wear Thursday. Between classes the slaves carried their masters’ books to class while often arriving late to their own. Dur- ing lunchtime the slaves carried trays, danced with other slaves and sang songs. Also, there were races where the slaves pushed pennies with their noses. The parade on Friday was a rowdy affair. Only seniors were allowed to drive in the parade, even though some of the cars had obscenities on them. Judging the floats were Mrs. Barbara Santona, Mr. Jack Granger and Mr. James Nicholas. During the pep rally the winners of several competitions were announced. Mrs. Sue Roller, Mrs. Joan Uran and Mr. Bruce Farley, who judged the halls, selected the sopho- more corridor as the best. The juniors won second while the freshmen took third. Awards were also given to individu- als for best costume during dress-up days. For 50 ' s day, Rich Kubiak won first with his leather jacket outfit. There was a four way tie for first on kiddie day. Predictably, the diapered gentlemen took first, Joe Urbanski, Scott Claus, Tim Urbanski and Larry Suarez. Although Wednesday was cowboy day, it wasn ' t a cowboy that took first place, but rather a cowgirl; Joy McClymont. Taking first p lace for occupational day with her dancing display of balloons was Diana Hop- kins. On colors day, freshman, Eugene Griffith, took first. The sophomores had the highest percentage of students in costume for three days and the juniors, two. This added points to their totals for the spirit jug competition. Many students felt student council should have taken count of students dressed in first hour instead of going to the commons dur- ing lunch. There would have been a big change in scoring. Too many sen- iors leave early and couldn’t wait around to sign up,” said Tammy Col- lins. Scoring highest and taking first place in the float and games was the sophomore class. The juniors were second and the seniors third. The class of 1983 won the spirit jug for the second year in a row. “We really worked hard on winning it. We plan on keeping it until we graduate,” said Tina Reeder. On Saturday the student council members took down the hall decora- tions and placed them inside the gym. For the first time the hall decorations were not totally destroyed. There was only some minor damage when the balloons were popped in the freshman hall and the toilet was stolen from the sophomore hall. But overall, every- thing and everyone remained intact for the week. Joe Urbanski, fully dressed in blue and red, was one of the many students participating on colors day during spirit week. Lisa Dayberry, Sue Stasiuk, Valerie Neaves, Joan Goff and Nancy Potts rode their very own horses in the annual spirit week parade. Spirit Week — 13
