Homecoming ‘73 From Contemporary To Traditional Music filled the halls of HHS as the rock group First Gear performed two concerts during Homecom- ing Week. Audiences enjoyed the group’s music spic- ed with comedy. One of the concerts even included a dance contest in which Evelyn Runge and Harold Schellenger competed but Mr. Brafford twisted away with the first place honors. The concerts were a first at HHS and a popular addition to Homecoming. Soon the music gave way to the sounds of calling signals, shouting instructions and cheering sections as the girls took to the field for the annual Powderpuff game. After weeks of secret practices and hard work, the Class of '74 won their second consecutive first place title, followed by the second place sophomores. Juniors took third place, while the eager but inex- perienced freshman placed fourth. ABOVE After the concert, a member of First Gear signs autographs for students.

Homecoming ’73 Excitement For Everyone Though many hours were spent fluffing flowers, hammering, glu- ing and spray painting, all the work seemed justified as Friday brought the Homecoming parade. Continuing the Hollywood theme, floats were based on movies and television shows. For the first time since the building of the new stadium, floats were displayed during the football game. Although the Bulldogs suffered a convincing loss to the Roxana Shells, Homecoming spirit remained high as students gathered in the gym after the game to hear the music of Medusa. The sock hop brought an end to another exciting Homecoming week. Listening to the music at the sock hop brought an enjoyable end to Homecoming week. - Cae Under the supervision of Terri Wenzel and Putting heads together, Sheila Kuester Mark Shimer, Steve White puts the and Karla Hess create a star-strung en- finishing touches on the sophomore float trance for the coronation y R., : vi i
