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

16 — Opening of school Like many other students, Debbie Burandt and Leroy York adjusted to the newly- enforced hands-off policy. Scott Gross and Sherry Peck dig through the locker to find their books before the tardy bell sounds.
