H Special omecoming The 1985 football team was not having a good year but it was a special game that night so the fans turned out full force to, as Gail Reames put it, give our team the cheering they would need to win . It was Friday, Sept. 13, 1985 homecoming, M.C. Elston was the opponent. The Lions were hoping for a victory, not really ex- pecting one but a little hope never hurt anyone. The game started, there were tackles, running, and throwing, as in any football game. When the final buzzer went off LaSalle had lost 0-31, a dejected team walked off the field. That night there wasn ' t the usual crowd at the Lions favorite haunt, Noble Romans. It wasn ' t because they had lost the spirit or faith in the team, nothing will ever destroy Lion Pride. That night in the Lions Den there was a dance and the kids were having lots of fun and groovin ' to the latest tunes. Although LaSalle lost the football game, they didn ' t lose their pride or their spirit or next year and these are the key ingredients to winning a football game.

Moments Crown Nights What do you associate with Valentines Day? Red hearts, candy, flowers? How about a basketball game? This years homecoming game against MC Elston was played on February 14. Although Elston defeated La- Salle 70-54, there was still much excitement to be had. During the half time junior Will Tieman and senior jSharon Chlebek introduced the 1986 homecoming [court amid rounds of applause for each couple. In the stands there were the typical rowdies with their bags of confetti to the amusement of some and the jannoyment of others. It ' s ok to a certain point but when they start throwing the real little stuff it bothers me. coments sophomore Lura Grontkowski. Losing the game wasn ' t the only disappointment the Lions suffered. Many of the students were let down by the fact that we did not have a pep assembly. Freshman Denise Hanner claims, We should have had one. They get our spirit up and they get more people to come to the games. There was aso a change made in LaSalle ' s homecom- ing procedure. Instead of having spirit week held all in one week, this year was was decided to hold it on [various days. It began on the Friday of homecoming, lending on the day of sectionals with the traditional red and black day. Through change and disappointment the Lions stood tall and our pride shown. It is unlikely MC Elston will forget that.
