COACH McNEES MARCHES TOWARD CALGARY Trying to play in below zero weather tends to freeze horns, but Becky Bokelman keeps the band blowing out hot air. Banner carriers, Kathy Hedin and Pam Gorsuch have enough trouble holding the banner without the wind trying to take it away. Stand right there!” Mr McNees tells Becky Bokelman, but she doesn't want to stand in the doggy mess. Playing the saxophone while marching step twos isn't an easy task for Renell Atkins. Breaking away from the drudgery of everyday band practice, the band moved out onto the football field to practive “step twos” and forming the letter K. Although the band didn’t make any out of town parades, hopes of making the long journey to Calgary, Canada eased the student’s minds. Band members weren’t the only ones that participated in the half-time shows, “outsiders” were included in a certain kind of baseball game. The closer the Farmer's Day parade got, the more yelling the seniors did at the “clutzy freshmen who couldn’t find their right foot and were ALWAYS out of step or out of line. When the parade got underway, the lines (rank and file both) seemed to fit together and the right” feet came out at the right times. Tension hovered over the students as the Calgary trip was finalized, causing financial havoc, but Coach Harry McNees eased the worries and “the band played on! Marching Band 25

HORNS STAMPEDE TO HOMECOMING SHUT-OUT ‘■Longhorn Stampede came alive in more ways than one on Homecoming night. First, the Horns stampeded to an overwhelming victory of 510 to shut-out the Mitchell Tigers, then settled down just enough to dance through the country-like setting for the Longhorn Stampede , with music by “LUK”. Halftime was a bit out of the ordinary this year. Breaking away from tradition, Mr. Steve Gilliland tried to crown a king that wasn't there! The male half of the royalty was, as always, late. Finally, Greg Brown appeared with his attendants so he and Tricia Hisey could be crowned. Despite the fact that the bonfire was cancelled, the 1979 Longhorn Stampede became a traditional success with the help of blasting cannons, soaring balloons, and flying confetti. Ann Kallhoff steps aside and allows Mr Don Candelaria the room he needs to add the finishing touches to the saloon . Taking full advantage of the thrones. Becky Rauert uses the added height to reach a rough spot. Homecoming royalty were Dave Stahla, Margaret Biggs. King Greg Brown, Queen Tricia Hisey. Carmen Buresch, Kevin Beuscher, and Crownbearers David Bashaw and Julie Paul. Bandits Kathy Hedin and Jennifer Janicek are stunned to learn that the dummy they’re holding up isn’t for real. The Longhorn scoreboard proudly displayed the final score longer than usual after the shut-out over Mitchell.
