Three days added to Homecoming Homecoming week featured old and new ideas for the special days of the week. Tee-shirt and Tie Day,” Western Day, and Color Day were introduced successfully by the Student Council, judging from the participation levels. “Toga Day,, “Fifties Day, and the Penny Pitch were dropped by the Student Council in favor of the new days. The traditional tug o' wars encountered some difficulties during the pep rally. Because of the muddy ground, the senior girls requested a second pull against the juniors and went on to win the contest. The coed senior team also beat the juniors. The boys’ junior team, helped by cheers from their classmates, went on to pull the sophomores off balance and to win the tug. Instead of having the usual pep rally skit, the cheerleaders sponsored a tricycle race. Students were chosen to represent their class and to go one-third of the way around the track riding a three-wheeler. The seniors placed first in the event, the juniors second, the freshmen third, and the sophomores last.

Homecoming victory is snagged in end As the drums rolled and the spectators yelled at the pep rally, the JHS band marched onto the field, under the direction of Mr. Hartwig, Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Fritzsch. The band performed several numbers, including Fame, Alexander's Rag Time Band,” and On Wisconsin. Parts of the routines had been used before, but many of them were new. Mr. Hartwig directed the show, Mi. Fischer the flags, and Mr. Fritzsch the rifles. The band also played at halftime when the team faced the Brodhead Cardinals and defeated them with the score of fourteen to seven. According to many spectators, the game was as exciting as the heartstopping Homecoming win of the previous year. With less than two minutes left, the team began a successful ninety-one yard drive. The winning touchdown came with a pass from Lance Leipold to Tim Kuehn, with only fifty-one seconds left. Kuehn commented, I was proud to be a part of the Homecoming victory.
