You got mud on your face, big disgrace, kicking your can all over the place. Singing we will, we will rock you. The song We Will Rock You was a theme adopted for Homecoming. The song was sung at the powderpuff game, where the Seniors kicked the juniors' cans, 21 to 14. It was fun, said senior Katie Wedlock, even though some people played rough. It rained during the game and both teams got mud on their faces. It was more fun because of the rain, said junior Ienny Mullennix. Buddy you're a young man, hard man, shouting in the streets, gonna take on the world some day. You got mud on your face, big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place. We will, we will rock you. Again, the song was heard as the Spartans rocked the Angola Hornets, 32-15, on Friday. The game was exciting because we came from behind and won, said junior Debbie Cartwright. Halftime was full of festivities as senior Robynn Hohert was crowned Homecoming queen and the sophomore class won the banner contest with a theme of 'The Year 2000 and Future Events for HHS.' Buddy you're an old man, poor man, breeding with your eyes, gonna make your son be some day. You got mud on your face, big disgrace, somebody better put you into your place. We will, we will rock you. Each day there was a different activity, the dress days, the hall decorating contest covering time from the sixties to the year 2000, the tricycle races, the banana-split eating contest, the powderpuff game and the bonfire. - Homecoming was great because the seniors won the spirit bell, we won the football game and there was something to do every night, said senior Ben Kern. lilmy Gifford

E X P A N S I O N ust Flies, Traffic Jams As School Transforms students feft in crowcfecf Haffzuays Pound, pound, crash, crash. Although these sounds should have been heard in March and April they were postponed as construction bids were too high. These will be more common at the beginning of school next year. According to Principal Iames Manak, the renovation in parts of the school where students are is to be started during the summer. During the school year, the new additions will begin. Hopefully there won't be too much inconvenience but there will be some dust flying and some crowding in the halls, explained Manak. The first part of the new look for Homestead's construction was on the roads. That caused a large traffic jam for students as they travelled to school in the morning. The building construction will take about two years, according to Manak, starting in July 1988. The process will increase Homestead about 5095 from approximately 240,000 to 360,000 square feet and its capacity will also increase from 1175 to 1500 students. Freshmen will get the most benefit, being able to use the new facilities. The construction will be confusing, but in the end I think the changes will be beneficial because there will be more room for more students, said freshman Lisa Hannaford. Topping the list of additions are thirteen new classrooms. An auxiliary gym with 800 seats will be added including new locker rooms for P.E. students which will go along with a deck for P.E., weight training, and other athletic activities. Also a new band room will be added and the auditorium will be expanded. Senior Scott Kessel summed it up by saying, Although many changes have been made to the school district I think the greatest, most significant change has taken place in the students who have been transformed from carefree children to responsible young adu1ts. Although the school was noisy this year, next year the noise will be greater as the new projects start.
