Floats win points Many students wondered how the Homecoming floats were rated. The following information may provide answers to such questions. The floats were judged by five judges: Mr. Houston, Ms. Bova, Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Leipold, and Mr. Olson. These judges rated the floats according to five basic requirements: neatness, originality, the amount of work that the float evidenced, overall appearance, and adherence to the theme of Homecoming. Floats earned from one to ten points for each category. The senior float captured first place; the FFA and sophomore floats tied for second; the freshmen came in third, and the juniors took fourth place.

Eagles get lead on muddy field The 1983 Homecoming game was played on a very wet and muddy field. The game started in a light drizzle, but by the middle of the third quarter, the rain got heavy, leaving the fourth quarter in a total downpour. Waterford broke the scoreless battle when Chris Miller drove over from a yard out. The Wolverines went for the two point conversion, only to be stopped short when Brian Garity pulled down the opposing quarterback from behind. Tom Monogue tied the score on a run from one yard out, with the eventual winning point coming from Don Moehling’s extra point, giving Jefferson a lead they were never to lose. Monogue’s score was set up by a fifty-two yard pass play from Tom Gaugert to Tom Linse. Coaches praised linemen Jim Shuda, Roger Renz, and Peter Lucas for making the holes for Monogue, who rushed for 148 years on thirty-one carries. End Don Moehling caught the majority of Gaugert’s fourteen passes for 147 yards. Mark Rueth and Roger Renz led the defensive effort with nine tackles each. Despite the rain-drenched game, Jefferson outgained the Wolverines 263 total yards to 100 total yards.
