Knocking out every Wildcat in sight was Junior Do- neva Wheeler as she was paraded around the foot- ball field on the Junior class float. Photos by Ken Lloyd Jr.!Dave Russell A Victory For All ctober 6 was a cold, cold night, but it didn't stop Patriot fans lstudents. alumni. teachers and othersl from flocking to Sul- livan Field for the twelfth annual Home- coming game against Lawrence North. Homecoming week was a great success starting with the Powder Puff game played in the oozing mud, and ending Friday with red, white, and blue day along with the Homecoming game itself. After the National Anthem, the long awaited game started. Fans wondered if the team could pull offthis game for a 7-O record. It didn't look like much of a chance when LN scored first: but, by halftime the score was 13-12, Marshalls favor. Halftime was a great success with the parade of floats first on the agenda. Marching with the floats were the Powder puff teams, volleyball team, cross country team, and the boys' tennis team. Winning the float competition was the class of '79 with the slogan Send the Wildcats Back North , third win for this outstanding class. Key Club was the winner for the Club float division. Queen candidates rode around the field in Corvettes after the parade of floats. As usual Robert Doc Weaver, the an- nouncer, told the crowd he lost the enve- lopejust as he got ready to announce the Homecoming Queen. When he finally found it he announced, This year's Homecoming queen is-Renee Lacy. Homecoming just wouldn't be natural without the annual fireworks provided by the Student Council. The fireworks this year were outstanding. After the fireworks, the marching band performed their contest routine. Second half was dominated by the out- standing Marshall team. Homecoming ended in a victory for all Patriots with the score ending Marshall 32, Lawrence North 18. homecoming!9
