None, from the looks on their faces at 7:30 a.m., September 21. The seniors showed surprising originality by devising unexpected variations on the school uniform. During the day, freshman were dressed as bridesmaids, fruit salads, Supermen, Mickey Mice, and members of the opposite sex. These various characters were gathered together for a pep rally in which the freshmen stands resembled a conglomeration of Halloween rejects. Humiliation continued through the afternoon as Mike Rakos' little brothers became cheerleaders at the girls' volleyball game, while other seniors frantically searched for the finishing touches to complete their costumes for that night. As evening drew near, melodies of We love you, seniors! could be heard in shopping malls, the terminals of O'Hare airport and local bars, before and after the dance, which began at 8:00. Freshmen 2 along with their big brothers and sisters arrived at the dance at various times, depending on the nature of their pre-dance activities. Most of the action - kissing and costume contests, kneeling and push-the-penny- with-your-nose races - started at nine o'clock, with Kathy Devereux's Miss Piggy taking the prize for best costume. The bubble people , created by Ian Franzen, Terri Ragona, Caryl Trotta and Linnea Zuardo won the honor of having the most original costumes. After the dance, many other fun activities took place, such as visits to Elmhurst College Dorms, grocery stores, and Sally's Stage. Many Senior girls and their little sisters prolonged the night with sleepovers at Sheri Van Petten's and Mary Ann Thallemer's. Initiation, though anticipated with anxiety by forewarned freshmen, was, for both seniors and freshmen, an unforgettable experience. For many freshmen, Initiation would be remembered as the dance in which they found friends in Strangers in the Night.
