HOMECOMING ENTHUSIASM BRINGS VICTORY The fall calendar was highlighted by Homecoming week held September 15th through the 19th. On September 12th all freshmen, new high school students and teach- ers were auctioned off. The proceeds went to the Student Council to pay for barbecues and pop at the Home- coming dance. The week started off with everyone showing off their best duds, for dress-up day. Marshal speeches were given that morning in the gym. Vying for marshal were senior Tom Durfee. junior Jackie Dittman. soph- omore Shane Vlcek. and freshman Jeff Peterson. Royalty candidates were Tork Cowan. Kip Baloun. Darin Larson. Jill Pekarek. Heather Van- DenBerg and Jackie Neuharth. Monday night coronation was opened by Student Council President Dan Lusk. Jackie Dittman was an- nounced marshal and took the re- sponsibility of MC. Darin Larson and Jill Pekarek were crowned as King and Queen. The night was finalized with the burning of the H and a pep rally. Each day of the week was designated by a different activity. Tuesday pre- sented the problem of not knowing who was Miss or Mr., as it was oppo- site sex day. Wednesday students took a trip back into the 50's along with using their slaves to do all their dirty work. Thursday was revenge of the nerds . The traditional red and white day was Friday, with the game against the Wessington-Wolsey Warbirds that night. This year was the first Homecoming game for the combined football team of the Highmore-Harrold Pirates. Eventually the combination was worth while. The Pirates captured a Homecoming victory!
