HOM€COMIMG RGWeS SPIRIT As another football season rolled around, so did Highland ' s Homecoming. Hustling and bustling about, students were busily preparing for the arrival of Homecoming. It seems as though September 28 was upon us in no time. This year a new attraction was added to the fun of Homecoming. Spirit Week introduced a new kind of enthusiasm as well as a break in the normal routine of each day. It is not completely new though, as Basketball Homecoming enjoys it each year. The dress- up days included such crazy ideas as jersey day, business man day, inside-out day, blue and gold day, and the ever present 50 ' s day. It really added a touch of life to the whole affair. The crowning of king and queen was presented on Wednesday night at the pep rally. Debbie Havran and Joe Rovai were picked to reign over the Homecoming festivities. The rest of the court included: Cathy Hubler, Dave Wells, Mary Lou Morgan, Jeff Hines, Marcia Hicks, Greg Spudic, Randy Cooper, Debbie Rosko, Andy Shattuck, and Jennifer Jones. As the day of Homecoming approached, all the classes and clubs anxiously tried to finish their floats. The tradition of all-night float sessions was no different this year. The annual Homecoming parade also showed off some tradition with fire trucks, floats, bands, clubs, and people who bring the spirit of Highland together. The class float competition was won by the freshmen for the first time in school history. Their advice to the Trojans was to Peaches and Cream ’em, following the theme of fruits and vegetables. The seniors took second place with Lay ' em on the Lime. After a long fight the Trojans fell to the Crown Point Bulldogs 22-15. The loss did not dampen many spirits as everyone went their separate ways after the game. Some attended the dance for students in the cafeteria and others went out for pizza or a quiet dinner. Once again, Homecoming became a pleasant memory of crowning royalty, fluffing flowers for floats, and honoring returning alumni.
