othing beats comin back home Let's fight for Homestead High School was a familiar saying during Homecoming week. There were many activities throughout the week that helped arouse the morale of the students. 'Hat Day brought out cowboy hats, fishing caps, beer caps and even sombreros. Tuesday was How the West Was Won Day. Besides people getting dressed up in spurs and leather vests there were gun fights in the halls, scalpings in the bathrooms and Indian raids on the teachers. Wednesday was a play on the fad of the 70's, Disco Day. It not only included 9005 of the students participating by coming to.school dressed up but it also included a cor- onation ceremony for the crowning of the queen during activities period. Senior Chris McGhee was crowned after seniors Ieff McDermott and julie Relue presented the All-Sports banner to principal Leon Youngpeter and an appreciation plaque to Head Football Coach Mr. Bob Wiant. Thursday brought out the wild senior guys. A first at HHS was Toga Day , a take off of the movie 'Animal House'. The toga's were not taken off after school but were dis- played in the parade Thursday eve- ning and again at the soggy bonfire after the first annual Homecoming parade. 'Cheerleaders from Elmhurst', seniors Andy Vogel, jeff Cunningham, Iohn Grimmer and Reinhard Florin, display their message, Lick the Trojans, to the players in the locker room. A first at Homestead, a homecoming parade through Haverhill before the Thursday eve- ning festivities, will hopefully become a tradi- tion. 18-HOMECOMINC

The pep session included our own barber- shop quartet consisting of four teach- ers. Steve Beights, Steve Clough, Ever- ette Hornbarger and Ken McGuire. Everything merged to reach a climax, the Homecoming game on Friday night. Homestead Spartans verse their old rival Elmhurst Trojans. Besides the game, seniors won first place on their float while sophomores took first place with the spirit bell. The queen and her court paraded around the track while 1 the band paraded on the field. The drum majors presented their state tro- I y fx phy to the school at halftime also. But back to the game. It was close and the crowd was restless. In the last few seconds of the game home fans had run down by the field in anticipation of a victory. The touchdown was made and the final score was 13-12.
