Donces provide fun for student body High school dances are a part of teenage life. They are easy fund raisers and prove fun for the whole student body, exclaimed Senior Class Vice President JoAnn Watson. The first dance of the year was Homecoming. All week long several fun games were played leading up to the weekend activities. A traditional Friday night dance was held, and there the Homecom- ing court was presented and Queen Marylin Sul- livan crowned. Karyl Wing, senior activities chairperson stated, The dance proved very successful and promoted spirit for the next day's eventful schedule. Marshall's next dance was the annual Christ- mas Formal sponsored by Girls' League. The theme was Moonlight and Mistletoe. Filled with crepe paper and balloons, and also decorated with stars giving it a winter time evening effect, the cafeteria was dressed up to its fullest. The turnout was low, b'ut the atmosphere was close and romantic, observed Sophomore Kim Jeli. Not all dances were as formal as the Christ- mas dance. For instance the Bop Till You Drop function that was sponsored by both Freshman and Senior classes, was a more informal affair, giving students a chance to let loose and have fun. Here the clothing consisted of casual attire, ranging from comfortable Levis to the latest in designer jeans. lt doesn't really matter what you wear, as long as you go out and have a good time dancing, explained Senior Winky McGilliv- ray. JOAN HILSENTEGER and her out-of-school date boogie to the beat, Many Marshall students bring their non-Mar- shall dates to the dances. Dances 0 23

Hum Homecoming. . . festive, fun otmosphere After a long summer vacation, school activi- ties finally got rolling with the fun and tradition of the 19th annual Homecoming Week. The announcement of the seven court mem- bers caused many students to anticipate their appearance in the spirited Homecoming assem- bly, held Friday, October 17. Seniors Jenny Chavis, Stacey Huston, Yukling Leung, Susie McGill, Theresa Plechinger, Marylin Sullivan, and Karyl Wing were introduced amidst loud cheers of support from the student body. I was shocked and honored to be chosen as Queen from such an excellent court! Queen Marylin exclaimed, after being crowned at the dance that night by Deanna Bailey, Homecoming Queen of '79. Over 70 students arrived at Marshall bright and early Saturday morning to participate in the team-oriented pre-game activities. An original modification was introduced this year, the events were called Decathalon Olympics and featured eight competitions between classes, each of which were represented by ten team members. The Seniors gained a narrow victory over the second place Juniors, the Sophomores finished up third, and the Freshmen claimed fourth place. lt was a lot of fun, and the Juniors did a great job! declared Susan Norton, a member of the Junior team. At times, close and exciting football games are more rewarding than winning without the effort. This proved to be the case in Marshall's Home- coming game against the highly ranked Madison Senators. The Senators, in the final moments of a triple overtime, scored a touchdown, and nar- rowly defeated the determined M-Men by a score of 20-17. We worked hard throughout the entire game and l feel we deserved to win, stated Senior Co-Captain Rich Fayette. It was just unlucky for us that the outcome was decided by the last play of the gamef, CONCENTRATION enables Senior Matthew Moody to knock the ping-pong bali off of the coke bottle, scoring another point for the Senior team. KICKING-OFF at the Homecoming football game is quar- terback Ken Shaddy. The M-Men lost to Madison with a score of 20417. X Homecoming ' 25
