Floats, queens symbolize homecomings Snap, crackle, pop. Spirits were soaring. Cheering sounded through- out Brickie Bowl. It was the night be- fore Halloween and HHS students gathered at the homecoming bonfire. A booming pep session, the Stu- dent Council dummy contest, the long hours of working on their floats, the purple and gold mums and the silence before Paula Freville was crowned football homecoming queen boosted the team to a 34-0 victory over the Gary Roosevelt Panthers. Basketball homecoming queen, ju- nior Sandy Longacre, reigned over the homecoming game as the Brickies tried to scalp the Portage Indians but were defeated 62-58 in the last few minutes of the thriller. Trying to boost the morale of the basketball players, Booster Club members decorated players’ lockers with slogans, crepe paper and spon- sored the basketball homecoming dance held in MacPherson Hall.

Turnabouts, semi enliven school activities Popcorn! What a funny name for a dance! Let ' s see you do it, -mom. These words may not sound fa- miliar yet, but HHS students may en- counter them quite often when their children become teeny-boppers. To keep in shape for their debut, stu- dents were able to attend the semi, after game dances, turnabouts and a Valentine ' s dance. Choosing their date for the annual semi-formal, girls anxiously awaited a December evening of Stardust and Snowflakes. Punch, cookies and cakes were served by Girls ' Athletic Association members, sponsors of the dance. Stocking up on hearts, arrows and love potion number nine, Debuteens played cupid to willing students by sponsoring a Valentine ' s dance with the Sounds and Sensation Exhibit. After game dances were sponsored by French Club, German Club, news- paper staff and cheerleaders. Other dances throughout the year included Student Council ' s turnabout, at which couples could be married in a mock wedding ceremony.
