 Dreary Weather Dampens Festivities Despite the uncooperative weather, many students, alumni and parents attended Fri- day night's activities. The evening started with a rain-soaked bonfire which blazed furi- ously after the disenchanted crowd aban- doned the fire. Although the bonfire was a real lemon, the snake dance which followed was exhilarating and exhausting. The cheerleaders led the chain through the adjoining streets into the field house. Red-faced and sweaty, the revel- ers settled in for the pep assembly. A fter opening remarks and cheerleading by Principal Timothy Laatsch, Gus Mancuso. assistant principal, revealed it was Laatschs 40th birthday. The multitude warbled happy birthday. Following Coach Ken BiegeTs remarks and introduction of the football team, Rob Her- nandez, master of cermonies, announced the unfortunates who won the Kiss the Pig contest. Representing the faculty, Gus Man- cuso vigorously kissed the pig. On the other hand, sophomore Kendra Kleiber kissed very tentatively, thus the throng booed her back two times. Junior Jeff Howard good-natured- ly smooched the swine. Proclaiming, This is for the seniors, Vicky Goodwin really smacked that pig. The highlight of the evening was the coro- nation ceremony. Hernandez announced the Homecoming court and Laura Niemann crowned Laurie Smith queen.
