Stuntman, Rick Walters, attempts a lift-off. this time on short trick skis. Joey Miller tried to stop the boat with a muscular tug. as he follows on his hydraslide. Everyone was amazed at the students ' skiing ability, as well as Miss B ' s . They didn ' t tell me to come formal, explained Mr. Novak. He displayed ' good form ' following his freefall from the Leo-Grabill bridge. Did you hear about the day all the students left school? One of the skiers (Rick Walters) gave us some fancy skiing, and a shower as well. Ski Show 11

With scorching hot rays, the sun came beating down on me. Drowsing peacefully alone, I be- gan waiting for this average Sep- tember 19th to end. VROOM! Suddenly something ran right through me! Splitting into two pieces, I rolled up and hit the sides of the bank. I roared in laughter because it tickled me! Stunned, I waited with anticipa- tion when VROOM, it happened again! Fully awakened, I realized that I was being invaded by skiers and their fans. I welcomed them with a big splash! Happy because they were missing classes, the crowd of fans gathered on the riv- erside to be entertained by a few talented skiers and to cool off from a day of ' hot ' classes. Ap- plause filled the air as I splashed myself into the skiers faces and as various skiing techniques were displayed. Rick Walters, Joey Mill- er, and Troy Slentz skied barefoot while Gary Cooper rode a saucer. The boys did so well that I tickled their feet to have a little fun. (Boy what a splash!) I straightened up when Mr. Noval tried me out. But after he attempted trick turns, I L On The Sunny, Sunny Banks Of The 01 ' St. Joe just had to have some fun, so down he went! Enfuriated, Mr. Novak chased after Greg Dykhui- zen who couldn ' t help but laugh. Trying to escape, Greg jumped off the bridge with Mr. Novak follow- ing with a huge yellow umbrella! Then we knew it was a joke. The show continued with more talent- ed skiing until it was time to go home. Everyone left in a fantastic mood which lingered in the air. Most of all, I felt like a star for the day since none of this could have happened if it weren ' t for me! 10 Ski Show

Jungle Fever The jungle comes alive at night, was certainly true Homecoming night. The commotion began with the sound of snapping scissors and rustling crepe paper as the paths of the jungle were deco- rated. Besides these, the natives began work on the floats. Every day they appeared in different attire, the best being Crazy Day in which every- one showed their true spirit and personality. Brown paper footballs appeared pinned on the girls, and would be forfeited by their talking to any guy. It was a real challenge to the girls ' will power! Apparently no girl could resist talking to Tim Zink as he was crowned Homecoming King for having captured the most footballs. That Friday night the team put on their war paint and prepared for the game, the short hours of anticipation seeming like short decades. Our Small but on top of it all team commanded an early lead in the game. At half-time they took a break as the parade of floats entertained. Home- coming Queen, Sheri Haines was crowned and the junior float was announced winner. As the game victoriously ended the crowd was estatic and poured into the dance sponsored by the Yearbook. There, mementos of last year ' s safari, (1978 Yearbooks), were distributed and de- voured. The few elite of Leo dress tfieir best for crazy days. Who Scott Stuckey demonstrates the strategy to be used on the Garrett knows one of them might make ' best dressed of the year ' ! Railroaders with his Crazy Day tie. For good luck, the juniors presented the team with gold colored, decorated underwear to shine through the night. 12 Homecoming
