Following the Rainbow Highlighting every homecoming week are the powderpuff game and the pep rally. Even though bad weather caused Tuesday evening’s scheduled tricycle race to be cancelled, it couldn't dampen spirits for the powderpuff volleyball game inside the gym, where the sophomores captured the victory. At that game, Mark Rosen was chosen powderpuff queen, se- lected on the basis of beauty and talent. The annual pep rally, on Thursday this year because of a teachers in- stitute on Friday, found an array of motley dressed students who had dressed for Tornado Twister day by wearing their clothes inside out. With its usual popular skits, music and cheers, the pep rally left every- one, especially the seniors who had won the class competitions, in a homecoming mood. The spirit carried over to Friday evening where mum-wearing fans cheered, stomped and clapped to spur the Bulldogs onto victory against Jerseyville. But even the special halftime band show couldn't muster enough points as the Dogs went down to defeat, 25-9. 4 Buying a mum, an annual homecoming tradition, became a headache for junior Lisa Brusack who had to hand them out. V Strutting their stuff, the band tries to get the fans in the football spirit by playing the song “On Broadway.” } fe Homecoming
