BB Homecoming First Initiated at LC Student Council sponsored a Basket¬ ball Homecoming which was a first in the history of Lake Central. It was conducted similiar to the Football Homecoming with a number of in¬ novations. There were floats, King and Queen candidates, spirit awards, and a coro¬ nation dance; they were all a part of the new Basketball Homecoming. The floats were built by classes and clubs. They were judged on structure orig¬ inality, and were required to be built on little red wagons. MPC took the float honors with “Fry’em in their own Fat.” Instead of the usual King and Queen candidates the classes voted for Miss Sweetheart and Mr. All-Star. Seniors Karen Simanson, and Mike Hoffman were elected to represent their class. After the game there was a Basketball Homecoming Dance at which Mike and Karen were crowned. The dance featured the World Column II. Senior Diane Kroupa and Lynn Stasek wish the team good luck. Signs were set up in the hall, and were judged on originality. Mr. Al-Star, Mike Hoffman and Miss Sweet¬ heart, Karen Simanson were elected by the number of students (Seniors), who bought tickets for the game. 19

High Spirits Prevail at Homecoming Homecoming spirits during 1968 were notably heightened by the initia¬ tion of Spirit Week. The competition of classes injected a moving agitation of spirit and enthusiasm at LC. Seniors set the pace with energetic- yells, as they marched throughout the halls. The Spirit Stick was awarded to the class which was outstanding in spirit and the quality of the signs that were hung in the halls. The Senior and junior classes tied for first. After tiring evenings of stuffing yards of chicken wire and molding papermache figures, the floats were presented to the public in the annual homecoming parade. Art Club cap¬ tured first place with their float “Let’s Pirate a Victory.” Following the parade, class spirit was again dis¬ played. The junior class won the yell competition. After the festivities on the field the crowd moved to the bon¬ fire, Seniors stood and cried while children stood in awe. Making a more than adequate climax to a carefully planned and memorable homecoming weekend was the annual Lettermen’s Club dance. Reigning over the home¬ coming festivities were Seniors, A1 Loggins and Doris Orban. Varsity cheerleaders Mary Lyons, Patti Blaize, Val Davis, and Marcia Miller energetically await the start of home¬ coming festivities. 18 Al Loggins recieves contributions from Doris Orban for votes. Al and Doris reigned as King and Queen of 1969 Homecoming.
