1977 Homecoming Festivities Begin The 1977 Homecoming Week got off to a great start this year when the seniors presented the freshmen class of 81 with Indian head dresses. The colorful feath¬ ers were seen dodging through the halls with the seniors in close pursuit. The overpowering seniors forced the fresh¬ man into singing, yelling, skipping and penny pushing races. Unfortunately ini¬ tiation was cut a couple of days short because the seniors got a little too de¬ manding. Freshmen, you lucked out! Thursday night of Homecoming Week was the night of the parade, yell contest, and bonfire. It was typical, brisk fall weather as everyone made their way to the Dyer field to watch the traditional parade of floats and to participate in the annual yell contest. Alumni and students gathered with their friends once more. Using Sesame Street characters the juniors won the hall contest and correctly predicted the game. Sesame Street was a great influence especially on the juniors. With this float they won first place. Bonnie Davis, Tammy Covert, and Sue Smith pa¬ raded through Dyer with the team hoop. While holding the sign high above her head. Tammy Covert raises her voice for the yell contest.

Freshmen Humiliated Once Again This freshman learned the meaning of initiation by pushing pennies. This years initiation went to all extents, including stuffing Rick Hughes at the top of the lockers. Kelly McKay, Rick Hughes, Glenn Matthews, and Donny Kolbus build a pyramid before classes begin. With pants rolled up and socks rolled down, these Frosh went back to days of ring-around-the-rosie.

Post Victory Fun Begins All four classes and many clubs con¬ tributed colorful, imaginative floats. The juniors won the float and hall contest with the theme. Sesame Street. The Princes and Princesses for this year were freshmen Julie Britton and Bob Tribble, sophomores Carol Harrison and John Doctor, juniors Carolyn Skinner and Jeff Gregor. Seniors Liz Lynn and John Greg¬ ory reigned as King and Queen. The yell contest, which was held di¬ rectly after the parade, was won by the sophomores, who screamed their way to victory. After the yell contest, the crowd anx¬ iously awaited the arrival of the cross country runners who lit up the second annual flaming LCHS . Dying embers sent the crowd home anxious for tomorrow. The following night brought the foot¬ ball game and rain. Boy, were they in for a big surprise! As the rain poured down in buckets Friday night, a half-hearted crowd watched as the Indian gridders swamped the Lowell Red Devils. By halftime the Indians were in the lead, but most of the crowd had de¬ parted. Those few who remained were drenched and cold. The halftime activi¬ ties were dampened and limited. The floats were falling apart, and many of the princes and princesses had gone home. There were not many on hand to see the juniors win the spirit stick drowning Lowell 27-0. A dance followed Sunday night where Indians celebrated their win by dancing to the music of Just For You . Ah, the sweet taste of victory! Varsity cross country members started the great LCHS flame. LCHS looks great in flames. Thats what most of the students were thinking on Oct. 6, the night of the bonfire. Wet but spirited Karen jayjack and Sue Powell still know their team is 1.
