As they came into the school they shook the snow from their hair and clothes. Dressed in green and red, everyone hurried to their class as the last bell rang for first period. The doors were decorated with lights, colored bulbs and other items that represent the Christmas season. The decorating contest was between each first period class for a S50 first prize to go to their favorite charity. The prize was presented to Ruth Aiello's class for their creativity. The Adopt-a-family program found great success in the third period classes. All the classes that participated helped the needy families in the area celebrate Christmas. Seniors Kathy Frieburger and Jenny Potish were in charge of the program. The Adopt-a-family program helped the people in Allen County that were less fortunate than the students at Homestead, DELIVERING PRESENTS ' commented Potish. As a break from the work, there was a party given on Thursday for the students in each fifth period class. Each student was allowed to order a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut and a can of pop from the school as their lunch. There was a problem in the delivery of the pizza which caused many growling stomaches and the period to be lengthened thirty extra minutes. By the time that I got my pizza the crust was soggy, stated sophomore Aaron Couch. To make up for the delay Terry Ald, the manager of Pizza Hut, apologized over the intercom for all the troubles caused, and also donated 3.50 for every pizza the Honor Society sold. After the final bell rang the students hurried through the cold to their cars to start a warm Christmas season.

UQEUEUH .1 Q' U' .Ir As the halls filled Monday moming with students dressed in taped homed rimmed glasses, high water pants, and shirts buttoned to the collar, the spirit of Homecoming was becoming apparent. There were dress days for nerds, Hawiaians, and for college sweatshirts. Senior Katie Griest said, It was neat to be able to dress up each day of the week. Students wore powderpuff uniforms, the color assigned to the class, and sunglasses, hats, and blue and gold, Streamers and balloons filled the halls to depict the different seasons. The seniors showed winter with evergreens, snowflakes, and snowballs, while the freshman got into the Halloween spirit. The juniors filled their hall with the sunny bodies of summer, and the sophomores decorated with the flowers of spring when they came out victorious in this competition. Other planned activities for the students included the banana split eatingvcontest, the tugzof-war, junior- -:- -1 0 ,J senior powderpuff game, bonfire, a pep session and Homecoming picnic in the circle drive. The final days of the week brought the Homecoming game in which the Spartans played Bellmont, and the crowning of Betsy Neufer as Homecoming queen. I was surprised. I was scared when they first announced the names, then, I couldn't believe it was me. I didn't think I would get it. said Neufer. The sophomores came out victorious in the class competition, and sophomore class President Jennie Stafford accepted the spirit award in front of the students and gave the Homestead spirit bell a ring. The week of excitement ended with the Spartan defeat to Belhnont 23- 28 on a rain drenched field. The falling of streamers and deflated balloons completed the week as the janitors began to clean up the halls.
