Homecoming game disappoints fans Traditions seem to be a thing of the past now that almost every tradition has been broken at least once. Basketball Homecoming is one tradition that still survives. However, the dance was can¬ celled, breaking yet another tradition. On the night of the game, February 16, against Lafayette Jefferson, the two equally-matched teams battled it out ending with Lafayette Jeff in the lead, 70- 69. The game was a heartbreaker for the Indians. The Broncos won on a last sec¬ ond 20-foot shot at the buzzer. In the past two years the tradition of king and queen being seniors has been broken. However, the tradition came back this year when the king and queen were elected from the Senior Class- Carol Harrison and Willie Penman. Prin¬ cesses and princes were juniors, Suzy Grambo and Rick Daniels; sophomores, Kelly Fehrman and Steve Scott; and freshmen, Beth Johnson and Brad Teibel. The tradition of the float competition was broken last year because of the fire, but was revived this year with the seniors taking first place. Homecoming truly started Monday, February 11, when most floats were being developed and each day of the week was set aside for a different way of dress. Monday crazy socks were worn. Cowboys and Indians were seen roam¬ ing the halls Tuesday promoting spirit for the weekend game. Wednesday was crazy hat day and Thursday, Valentines Day, was dress-up day. On a typical Friday jeans and jerseys were worn. Assemblies are another scarcity this year. The second pep assembly of the year took place Friday, January 15, pro¬ moting spirit for Saturday ' s game. De¬ spite the loss, Indian pride was still evident. Gel up there, Dirk! Six-foot-three Dirk Fehrman out jumps his Bronco opponent. We want two! The crowd cheers as )V player Frank Barsit jumps up taking careful aim at the hoop and scoring another two points for the Indians. Make dogfood out of Broncos. The prize-winning float by the seniors was driven by Laura Dunn. Intense concentration is shown by the new varsity coaches, assistant coach Zimmer and head coach Hammel, as the game draws to a close.
