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

A Lion Country Christmas . . . Christmas is here! Christmas is here! On December 21, 1978 we didn ' t even need Paul Revere to tell us. It was in the air, and on the floor of the Leo High School gym- nasium. There, live and in person, was Charlie Brown, Linus, Pig-Pen, Lucy, Snoopy, Peppermint Patti, and all our other Peanut ' s pals, telling us the true meaning of Christmas. Thanks to special members of the Student Council (Jim Nolan, Jeff Burns, Rick Zim- merman, Laura Essenburg, Matt Heller, Gina Brown, and others) we will never again celebrate an- other commercial Christmas! And now. Hark, the Angels sing! The Choirs: Swing Choir, Concert Choir, and the Girl ' s Glee, enter- tained us with new Christmas songs as well as the familar car- ols. The whole student body was invited to sing along. The Twelve Days of Christmas, that ' s another Christmas classic, right? Well, here at Leo, it was turned into a Christmas comic. The comedy was led by our own turtle-dove-at-heart, Mr. Novak. Following him were each of the ' gifts ' of The Twelve Days of Christmas, disguised as teach- ers. We all like Christmas pre- sents under our tree, but those ' gifts ' might be hard to wrap, and nearly unreturnable! It was genu- inely unique entertainment. A live- ly round of We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year was an appropriate ending to a good day and a great year. The first gift of The Twelve Days of Christmas was presented by Mrs. Hol- brook as she wrapped herself in a par- tridge suit.
