Who arc these nerds? Troy Ferguson and Richard Hawk added a little pizaz2 to an otherwise ordinary Scum Day. Lorenzo Holmes advertises his great admiration for the Senior class. He was only one of the many decorated by their Seniors. Dan Pieratt thoroughly enjoys himself as he applies an- other layer of face paint on Freshman Lisa Griggs. Lisa was one of the Freshman who thought she had made it through the week without dressing up. Even secretaries Twyla Metier and Jan Hamblin got in on the act. Very few faculty members participated in Welcome Week activities. Welcome Week-9

 Being Homecoming Queen was a great hon- or. It was a fun experience and something I will always remember,” reflected Sally Alex- ander. Homecoming at Mazama was a time of tradition and spirit. Preparations for the homecoming fes- tivities began early in the week as each class busied itself constructing a float and making decorations for the halls. On Thursday afternoon, prior to the bonfire, the actual decorating of the halls took place. The bonfire, one of Mazama's many Home- coming traditions, served as an opportunity for the student body to show its spirit and offer encour- agement to the football team. In the hall decorat- ing contest the junior class emerged victorious with the sophomore class coming in second, the seniors finishing third, and last (but not least) the freshmen in fourth. Friday was filled with numerous activities. A special pep assembly was held to honor the home- coming court and the football team. School was let out early to allow students and faculty to attend Homecoming -11 the parade down Main Street. The parade (led by Grand Marshall Pete Heidrich) included the homecoming court, the cheerleaders, the floats, and the marching band. The floats were judged by local merchants, and the results were revealed at the game. The sophomore class took first place, the seniors second, and the freshmen third. Modoc Field was alive with Viking pride at Friday night's game. The cheerleaders chalked an enormous M in the center of the field. Halftime activities were enjoyed by all where Troy Ferguson and Sally Alexander were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. The Viking football team ended the night with a dramatic fourth-quarter victory over Eagle Point by a score of 19 14. The Homecoming semi-formal dance was held on Saturday night. The dance was heavily attended and was an enjoyable ending to an extremely suc- cessful week of events. Homecoming undoubtedly left M.H.S. students, faculty, and fans with pleasant memories of spirit and laughter.
