Y un'sums up H mecoming The 20th annual Homecoming Week was greeted with much excitement two months after school convened. Full realization of the event came at the announcement of the six court members in a pep assembly. Seniors Margi Gould, Loretta Hinesh, Kristie Jones, Julianne Martus, Syndee Pinter, and Chris Schloe were escorted down the aisle of the October 23 Homecoming Assembly by Dave Floyd, Steve Piacentini, Ron Dowhan- iuk, Todd Kraner, Charles Stillinger, and Don Wyler, re- spectively. Loud cheers from the student body accompa- nied the court's introduction. Spirit was shown throughout the entire assembly. Five Marshall football players dressed up as rally girls to help generate enthusiasm, along with Seniors Patti Diamond and Susan Norton, who imitated a little girl's vision of Homecoming in a skit. Queen Syndee, crowned at Friday night's dance by 1980 Homecoming Queen Marylin Sullivan, exclaimed, l was really surprised and very happy to be chosen from such a good court. Sponsored by the senior class, the dance was a S383 success. Anxious students gathered on the football field early Saturday morning to participate in the pre-game activi- ties. The team-oriented games involved ten students from each class. Activities included events such as a football pass, a balloon toss, and a tug of war. Seniors dominated the activities by defeating the second place juniors, third place sophomores, and fourth place freshmen. The seniors' cooperation was great! remarked senior team member Charlette Berube. Our enthusiasm and determination was the reason for our victory, Although spirit was high throughout all of the Home- coming activities, the football team was defeated by the Jefferson Democrats by a score of 12-O. The Minutemen were supported by many alumni who came home for the occasion. We really worked hard out there, commented varsi- ty football player Todd Kraner. lt's unfortunate that we couldn't win the game to end Homecoming on a good note. Summing up the week's activities, court member Margi Gould stated, l was honored to be a part of such a successful Homecoming Week. 8 Homecoming vi dl TUGGING AWAYare senior team members Steve Dilley, Laura Alldritt and Renee Foushee. The seniors beat the juniors in this event and went on to place first in the Homecoming activities.

ssembl es inch: e OOIIIT3, When shouts of M-Men Power filled the gym, everyone knew it was assembly time. For many people this time didn't occur frequently enough. Assemblies are always really fun and l wish that there could have been more. lt seems like there were hardly any this year, remarked Senior Kathleen Sher- man. Each varsity rally squad was only allowed to put on three pep assemblies during their season. lt was really too bad that we couldn't put on more assemblies because we have so much fun doing them, commented fall rally member Kelley Phillips. A new twist was added in the planning of assemblies as far as rally squads were concerned. Their main objective was to center the assemblies around a theme. The girls created and performed skits and arranged class competi- tions to coincide with the theme. Some of the themes were Be True to Your School, Green Acres, and Hee Haw Days. These were much more challenging to plan than past assemblies, but they were really fun and people seemed to enjoy them really well, exclaimed Fall Rally Member Kristie Jones. Not all of the assemblies, however, were planned by the rally squads. Other sponsors included Executive Cabinet, Class Cabinets, and Girls' League. Executive Cabinet sponsored the Homecoming, Christmas, and May Fete assemblies. The senior and freshman classes teamed up to put on the April FooI's assembly. This assembly proved to be very popular as four Marshall boys vied for the crown of King Fool. Each boy was responsible for writing and performing his own speech on why he should become King Fool. Senior Pat Sheets seemed to be the favorite and was crowned later with the honor. I really enjoyed the assemblies this past school year. lt was evident that the rallies worked hard to promote school spirit, expressed Senior Suzy Messing. All in all, assemblies did a good job of getting the student body out of the old routine of classes and into a more exciting and relaxing atmosphere.

Class competitions were very popular among Marshall students MAKE-UP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to Seniors Patti Diamond and Susan Norton.
