R competition was a first Homestead. Marion topped the IS 38 to 55. E Boys' Tennis Team exhibited a l and attitude which brought ut a spirit of athletic achievement ch the rest of the school would well to emulate. They finished 'd but were widely recognized as second best team in the state. -a..,4'-9 ,a. 4 ' UH' P . .. CROSS Country began their growing with a small step by advancing out of sectionals and winning a try at reg- ionals. BAND members were required to put in as many hours as any dedicated athlete. Ju t th beginning Did you ever stop and think of I-iomestead's acheive- ments throughout the year? Trying to come in first was the goal of everyone, either working as a team or as individ- uals. While many of us were relax- ing on a sunny beach or playing a game of tennis, I-lomestead's band was practicing to get to the top. But taking time out during their summer vacation was well worth the effort. In the state championships they not only finished as one of the top ten bands in the state-- but came out being second! That's hard to beat! To mention music, it was the first time Homestead's choir was invited to the Bishop Luers Swing contest and the came out in a good finish. At the NISBOVA Solo and Ensemble Contest seven ensembles quali- fied to go to state and came back with superior ratings . The Boys' Tennis Team play- ed their way, all the way, to the state championships and came home with a third place finish, And with a 24-l record they more than matched the year befores record--What an accom- plishment! And for the first time the sectionals were played on I-lomestead's courts. For the first time in seven years the North Central Commit- tee came to make a check on our school. We passed with fly- ing colors and what impressed them the most were the students! That's a compliment in itself. Making the staff ner- vous, nervous, nervous. What about the long hours spent on Friday nights by the yearbook staff, while some of us were out on a date or at home taking it easy? Those hours con- tributed to perfect every page. But again the time paid off and for the first time the yearbook was given the Medalist Award, a top honor to be given to the book!-- meaning it was in the top 102 in the Country. So take another look at your yearbook. Other firsts include the Cross Country team's fourth place finish at the sectionals and ad- vancing all the way to the regionals ending up in eighth place. The Wrestling Team competed in the regionals mak- ing it to semi-state. The Boys' Varsity Basketball Team also surprised a lot of people by coming up as far as regionals and having the opportunity to play the team ranked third in the state. When you look back and con- sider everything that's happened this year and the firsts that have happened you can be proud to say you're a Spartan! Just the beginning fFE.-ll'URES-l 7
