Spirit sparked by B.B. season activities V is for Victory” was the float that took first place in com¬ petition at Basketball Homecoming 1975. The senior float fea¬ turing Sesame Street’s Big Bird was the favorite. All classes and some of the clubs participated in making the miniature floats for halftime activities. New to homecoming this year was the Who’s the cutest baby” contest in which all of the varsity basketball players par¬ ticipated. Baby pictures were posted in the foyer and students voted on their lunch hour. This year’s winner was Mike Skura, who won the cutest baby ribbon and rattle. Reigning over the 1975 Homecoming festivities were fresh¬ men king and queen candidates Gregg Gullickson and Cindy Grzych. The fighting Indians, both Varsity and JV were victo¬ rious over Calumet. The evening ended with the annual Let- terman’s Club after the game dance in the upstairs gym. Another special activity that took place during the half time of a basketball game was the appearance of Victor, the bear. Victor wrestled with some of our school’s‘top wrestlers, but has never been defeated. The visit of Victor brought quite a crowd of spectators to the Highland game. Freshmen Cindy Grzych and Gregg Gullickson were elected Basketball Homecoming King and Queen at halftime.
