Autumn Leaves Enhance Homecoming 70 November 6 marked the annual Madison Homecoming Football game. The Madison Bluestreaks hosted the Wickliffe Blue Devils, in an upset of 20-18, which seemed to have no effect on the spirits for the oncoming weekend. Before the game, the Homecom- ing Court was driven around the football field and each girl was introduced and then ascended into the bleachers to watch the outcome of the game. At half time the court was escorted onto the field by their fathers. As tensions reached their peak, Peggy Smith was named 1970 Homecoming Queen, and presented a dozen roses and a kiss by Senior Class President Max Taubert. Saturday night was the Home- coming Dance. The theme was centered around pumpkins with twinkling eyes, cornstalks, hay stacks and baskets of gourds adorned the table. In the corner of the room, stood a gaily deco- rated platform which provided an imaginary throne from which the Queen and her court reigned over the dance. The crowning of the queen highlighted the evening as Senior Class Vice President, Dave Matchinga crowned Peggy and presented her with the traditional kiss and bouquet of roses. Follow- ing this, the court danced to the music provided by Freeport.“ The court and their escorts this year consisted of Polly Hopkins and Bill Buckius, Pam Matchinga and Doug Ungers, Diane Coch- erell and Bob Braski, Wendy God- son and Max Taubert, and Queen Peggy Smith and Rick Balder.

New Kind of Pep Assembly Experienced by Students Madison students were subject to a different type of Pep Assembly this year. Due to the equipment for the new school being stored in the gym, Pep Assemblies were held outside on the bleachers, weather permitting. Students sat in their various sec- tions and competed against each other with cheers and chants to see which class had more spirit. The band played various marches and majorettes added their touch with various routines. The cheer- leaders led cheers out on the field in hopes of bringing victories home to MHS. It just goes to show that it doesn't take a warm gymnasium to have spirit. Sometimes a chilly breeze even helps to boost it up. PEP ASSEMBLY 19
