The dance put the finishing touches on the week as the couples walked into an old fashioned street corner, and took A Walk Down Yes- terday ' s Dream , the quaint Ice Cream Parlor, Photography Shoppe, and fresh fall leaves in the corner put touches of authenticity to the decorations. Then came the announcement everyone was waiting for; the presen- tation of the Spirit Stick. And the Spirit Stick goes to the Seniors. Most everyone thought the Juniors had won it, but when the points were tallied, the Seniors had pulled in the lead. At 12 midnight Saturday, Sep- tember 20, the final event of Home- coming ' 75 had come to an eventful close. Competition was mounted high, but unified spirit was higher. Mad- ison ' s Homecoming ' 75 will be a great memory in the coming years. Homecoming 21

The weather had been warm all week, and Friday afternoon was no exception. As in tradition, the parade was a little late getting started, but proved to be longest and best prepared in MHS ' s history. The floats followed the theme of The Bobcat Revolution. The highlight of the parade rolled on with Dr. Wilcock, Dr. Thomas and Mrs. Bell sitting in a manuer spreader pulled by a tractor driven by Mrs. Hirshi. On the side of the spreader hung a huge sign which read, We spread sunshine through MHS. Eight o ' clock was the kick-off although the night was especially chilly spirit was hot, as we tromped the South Fremont Cougars 25-12. Homecoming ' 76 was drawing to a close with only the dance and the awarding of the spirit stick left on the calendar. 20 Homecoming

Talents, Physical Fitness, Scholarships MISS MADISON Developed Poise and Personality Mclanie Roundy 2nd Runner-up Last minute instructions were swirling in the heads of 20 young women as the first beams of light blasted through the opening curtain. The tears of reality were shed as each girl took her place on stage. The mo- ment they had all dreamed of had fi- nally arrived. Seven weeks of Monday and Thursday night practices, practicing talents, rehearsing songs, routine practices, modeling and shopping went into preparing this Bicentennial pag- eant, whose theme was Portraits ' 76 . Friday night all talents were per- formed and judged. With Saturday came interviews, last minute prepara- tions and the tea. The laughter and tears felt backstage were carried over to Saturday night, as the same twittery feeling was swimming in each girl. All at once they found themselves on stage awaiting the contest winners and the ten talent finalists. This is where the competition really began! It seemed like only a few moments later when each girl was back on stage, some filled with exhuberance and others with disappointment. Each girl could feel the beating of her heart as the preliminary winners were an- nounced, Scholarship goes to Karen Kerr, Poise and Appearance and Phy- sical Fitness to Shelley Rydalch, and Performing Arts to Kathy Jacobs.
