THEN CAME THE RAINS Rain. rain, go away and don't come back another day! This simple nursery rhyme could have been the theme for the 1987- 88 Homecoming football match. Frankly. Noah's Ark would probably have been of greater assistance to both teams than their slippery shoes. By the halftime announcements, players from the two opposing schools were virtually indistinguishable by color alone. For. at this time both teams wore uniforms of a deep mud-stained brown instead of the bright, sparkling or- ange, black and. yes, even green and white. In the last half of the game the normal plays had disintegrated into mere trench warfare in which the opponents could attempt no more than to dredge their way through the knee deep mire. Naturally, then, our team was lucky to escape unscathed, let alone victorious. Our school pride has not been shattered by the respectable 7 to 6 loss. Instead, we can hold onto our fond rainy day memories and still smile. LPHS cheerleaders anxiously anticipate the arrival of the home team at Kiwanis SLICES OF SLICERS La wrence McFarrin says of the Homecoming season. The decorations in the hallways were very inspirational, but the weather ruined the field and dampened everyone's spirit. The LaPorte High School football team huddles together to avoid the pelt- ing rain Principal Dr. Wayne formally awards the 1987-88Spirit Stick to Senior class Presi- dent Vince Santolino.
