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!

ALL SCHOOL PLAY HEAVEN CAN WAIT The 1987 all-school play asked (and answered) the question that is ever present in any mystery. ''WHO- DUNIT?” Under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Roseland and assistant director Cathy Faulstich. the cast and crew entwined the audience in a mystery involving a money-hungry mistress. Cindy Faulstich. a greedy nephew. Gene Luze. an ex-con gar- dener. Brian Ardry. a jealous boy- friend. Shawn Baloun. an agressive author. Becky Nemec. the innocent maid. Christine Volek. and the gang- ster's moll. Debbie Dittman. These people all have a motive to kill the rich and famous Alexander Arling- ton. otherwise known as Justin Run- estad. The play begins at the pearly gates of heaven, where Mr. Arlington is be- ing welcomed by three angels. Jill Pekarek. Jackie Neuharth. and Jodi McDonnell. He is not very happy to hear that he was murdered, and de- mands to be returned to Earth on the day of his death to solve the mystery of WHODUNIT?” The only stipula tion is that he cannot prevent his murder. The play continues to reach a climax when Mr. Arlington corners all of the suspects a few minutes before his murder is to take place. He waits to see who will be the one to stab him with his letter opener. Thunder rolls, lightning flashes, and the murderer does his job again. Alexander Ar- lington once again enters Heaven, not knowing who killed him. The archangel McDonnell then reveals to him the murderer, the mistress Faulstich. She removes all thoughts of revenge and anger from his mind, for no one can have these feelings in Heaven. The angels exit the stage exclaiming how warm it was getting up there for a while. 8 PLAYS
