Step right up and come to the Circus Homecoming! was the cry heard at Hoover High during the week of September 23-28. The spirit of the circus was present all week with the sale of homecoming mums and tickets, but things really got moving on Thursday when the Booster Club held its annual float decorat- ing and pizza party. On Friday there was a dress up day and the halls became filled with clowns, multi-limbed and headed freaks, fat ladies, and many forms of fero- cious wildlife. The next event in the line-up of activities was the circus pep rally. The cheerleaders, dressed as clowns, added to the overall spirit as they performed a clown and acrobatic act. The maiorettes also presented a three ring circus including an elephant act, a horse act, and a baton twirling routine by Head Maiorette Sharie Hirt. That night at the game, the queen and her court were crowned during pregame ceremonies, and then retired to sideline seats to watch the first half of the game. At halftime they ascended the float which was designed as a circus tent and were pulled around the stadium while the band played circus music such as Barnum and Bailey's favorites and Thunder and Blozes. Spirits were encouraged at the game by the clowns who aided the cheer- leaders in cheering onthe Vikings to a 32 to O victory over the Lehman Polar Bears. At the homecoming dance, Mr. Matta- chione was drenched while trying to break up a fight between two clowns. Other entertainment included strongman Dyna- mite Dan lGreenhoi, magicians Don iBre- sigeri and Chuck iBarkIeyi, lion tamer Jun- gle Jim lDragomirei and his ferocious felines, and a juggling contest directed by Ringmaster Kim Cooksey. The contest ended in a draw. After the amusements, Mr. Mattachione, who had not yet had time to change, instructed the couples in the Hora and then turned them loose with Al Pergola and his band. Refreshments included candy apples, popcorn, peanuts, animal crack- ers, and orangeade. All in all, the general opinion of those who went to the home- coming was that it was a worthwhile, and most of all, fun evening. Assisting Don Bresigner and Chuck Barkley with their what kind of thing will come out ofthe box on top of magic act, Mr. Mattachione nervously anticipates his head.
