Tug-Of-War Highlights Homecoming A new and very popular event of Homecoming '77 was a tug-of-war contest held during the noon hour. By defeating the freshmen and sophomores, the seniors and juniors advanced to the finals. In the championship match it seemed that the contest would end in a tie, but the juniors finally outmus-cled the seniors and pulled them across the line for a victory. In the annual float decorating contest the seniors prevailed with the theme, Our Aim is a Sure Victory. The football team won the game against the Edgerton Crimson Tide by a score of 21-0. Following the game, the Relatives played for the large crowd attending the dance. King Dain Padfield and Queen Peggy Fischer reigned over the week's activities. Joining them were senior representatives Steve Shilkey and Mary Rapp, juniors Brad Aumann and Barb Hagen, sophomores Dan Wolter and Linda Weilbacher, and freshmen Brett Yeager and Linda Berkley. The week's activities included the traditional dance and Powder Puff game, and the new tug-of-war contest. Homecoming 17

Magazine Sales Began 54 Years Ago In 1923, one of this school's greatest traditions began. In that year, the Curtis Publishing Company launched the magazine campaign. For one week students sold subscriptions for the Ladies' Home Journal at the price of $1.00 a year. The four classes competed and points went toward the awarding of a class loyalty cup. Of the total $296 raised, half went to the band for the purchasing of new instruments. By 1977, fifty-four years later, the selection of magazines as well as their prices had greatly increased. Under the leadership of new campaign director Mrs. Follensbee, students topped all previous records. In combined magazine and Banner subscription sales, over $27,000 was raised. About 30 per cent of that amount went for the production of the yearbook. Drama students contributed to the expanding forensics program by performing in one of the four one-act plays. They were judged in a public performance, and the cast of Adam and Eve emerged as the best and eventually advanced to district competition.
