1 hroughout the week, several girls, known as secret admirers, sneaked through the halls decorating the senior football players ' lockers. The girls brought candy, homemade cookies, and notes to psyche up the team for a Homecoming victory. Friday, with its short assembly bell schedule, finaJly arrived and school spirit was quite evident during the pep session at the end of the day. The senior football players participated in The Price is Right, in which they had to guess who their secret admirers were. To help them out a little, each admirer recited her football player ' s most embarrassing moment. This drew many laughs from the students and many red faces from the squad. Tension was high on Friday night, October 10 as the Lions and the Heri- tage Patriots battled on the football field. Both teams knew that to ease up in the least would bring severe conse- quences and so they gave their all. After playing four suspense-filled quarters, however, Leo squeezed by Heritage, 21-19. After the game, everyone was eager to receive his yearbook at the Home- coming dance. Well, the ORACLES came, but the dance didn ' t. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the WMEE disc jockeys, who were to do the dance failed to show up, disappointing the hundreds who were packed in the East Lobby expecting a dance. While waiting anxiously for the DJ ' s, the yearbook staff handed out the 1980 ORACLES to the students and alumni, who occupied themselves conversing with friends and signing yearbooks. Shortly before 11:00, the dance was officially called off. Gradually, the halls and East Lobby emptied and the cafeteria was put back into order. It was a disappointing end to an exciting week. However, the spirit in the air that week had been a winning one, and the victory over the Heritage Patriots made Homecoming Week a success. -Jeanne Glenn o Homecoming Queen and King, Lori Garman and Tim Smead, were selected by the student body Lori, by votes; and Tim, by capturing the most footballs from the girls. After a two-hour wait for the dance that wasn ' t, freshmen Mark Lowden and Stacy Seller take a break near the yearbook table. 3 1833 02489 8618 -Randy Cleven a®. homecoming

By 8:00 that evening, a crowd had gathered in the football bleachers in anticipation of the second- ever Powder Puff football game.
