Barbara Mayer Barbara Mayer TROJANS Finals! A great town rallies around a great team 1 -65 became a favorite road to travel when Highland fans mo- tored down to watch the ultimate — The football Trojans play for the state title. The rainy, raw weather was for- gotten once inside the Hoosier Dome, and as alumni, students, parents and friends of Highland filled the area with blue and gold, as well as shouts of support, the team played well. Only a touchdown sep- arated Highland from Ben Davis at the game’s end, but no one could deny Highland was the real winner in many ways. The great show of fan support at the Dome and back in Highland’s business district was evident. Highland had rallied be- hind its state finalists, and the rally was successful. Mike Stuckert won special hon- ors, named the Mental Attitude Athlete in Class 5-A competition. He also shared in the presentation of the RunneKJp plaque with co- captains Tom Homco and Jason Evans. With the band and majorettes performing during half-time, and the team playing with pride and de- termination, memories of the Dome were etched for life in the hearts of many. Captains Mike Stuckert, Jason Evans and Tom Homco accept the Class 5-A run- ner-up plaque. Mike Stuckert also re- ceived the Mental Attitude Award. Cheerleaders Nancy Roe, Joan Dimopou- los and Sue Ogrentz reflect the concern of all. Mike Baron

Spirit Week Classes compete in Homecoming activities H ow would you like to pose as Caesar, the next day look like a nerd, then change into a rootin’ tootin’ cowboy the next? Or, if you prefer physical action, how would you like to throw a wa- ter balloon at your favorite enemy, then (after you splatter him with water) tug him by a rope, scraping the ground with a friendly game of tug-o-war, and then watch him turn into ice at the coldest Homecoming Football game you’ve ever been to? That’s what you’d be doing at Highland’s 1987 Spirit Week. Even though Powder Puff Football is not at Highland anymore, the Super- stars Competition sure knows how to take its place — free ice cream (provide d you eat it with only your face), free raw eggs (provided you splatter someone with it), and free fun is what this whole thing was about. Maybe, let’s say, you’re not up to par. You’re the one who got splat- tered, iced, dragged, and laughed at when you showed up in the wrong costume — the egg just didn’t splatter your way. Have faith. You have next year to get him back! • Jeremy Harris Juniors Kim Cook, Shelly Adams and classmates work on their pyramid, while senior Ted Calvin gives his best in the balloon toss. Celebrating Nerd Day in style were Dan Pauchak, at his locker, and Melissa Cher- back, giving her best nerd grin in class. Eli Galich
