MINU ree (HOME DOWN | Soee® Sets J SECONDS | fq visitor TO GO t OTR) During the week of homecoming, the spirit of Lincoln students rose even higher. Two weeks before, voting for candidates was done. Chosen were Lynn McCullough, Steve Flockhart, Janis Crist, Stan Roush, Annette Unruh, Mike Doser, Kaylene Jilovec, and John Licht. The cheerleaders set aside each day of Homecoming week for something ‘special.’ Monday brought students coming to class with their clothes inside out. Tuesday we reverted back to the fifties with our Brylcream and bobbie socks. Wednesday was clash day. Thursday brought Minnie Mouse and other such characters as this was masquerade day. Of course, Friday was black and white day. Most students participated at least one day of the week as did a lot of teachers. Throughout the preceding days, students could be seen running around Stanwood with packages of napkins in their possession. What else could this be for but float building! The Pep Club was offering a $100 grand prize for the top float. Thursday brought the Homecoming Parade in Stanwood with the judges thinking hard as to who would be lucky enough to win the $100 prize. Once the crowd moved to the football field, the bonfire was started despite the wind at the time. The cheerleaders and the football guys led cheers. The candidates’ skit was given on the football field. It turned out to be a spoof of the Lincoln-Olin game which was to take place Friday night. There were players, Coach Kirkton, Mr. Jensen, referees, cheerleaders, and even a marching band for the half-time show. After the skit, Coach Kirkton introduced the team. Then the 1976-77 Homecoming King and Queen were announced: Lynn McCullough and Steve Flockhart. Lynn and Steve were to preside over the remaining Homecoming events. Danny Jilovec and Kimberly Robinson had been chosen as the prince and princess. Spirit held through to the big game Friday, October 15. The Lincoln Panthers faced the Olin Lions for the game. At halftime the junior class was named as the winner of the $100. The float consisted of a large skunk with a moving tail which also sprayed when lifted, the theme - ‘Olin Isn't Worth a Scent. ' Lincoln won their game against Olin, 34-0. The game was followed by a dance at the high school gym. The Fourth Estate provided music for the evening.
