Celebrating an Event ager anticipation, mass confusion, and teeming spirit filled the halls as Mac students fell into the spirit of homecoming. Main contributors to the festivities were the Student Council. By sponsoring T-shirt day, mix-match day, and the Homecoming dance, they boosted spirit and heightened involvement. Homecoming was also a time for the customary selection of the Homecoming queen, court, and the football sweetheart. The court consisted of Sandra Wallace, freshman, Tammy Alloway, sophomore, Lesli Akers, iunior. Senior court members were Elaine Sailors, Karen Rieger, Jamie Smith, Becky Elaine Gutierrez talks with her sister and others on the sidelines after being crowned Homecoming Queen of the T979 football season.

Football nominees were Lesli Akers, Sloan Conroy, Karen Rieger, and Nancy Govro. The final selection was made by vote of the varsity football players, with Lesli Akers being named as the sweetheart. October 26 was to be the pep rally, followed by the big event - the football game with the Knights versus the Anderson Troians. The team was overly enthused and excited about the outcome of the game, even though they were disappointed by the 27-28 loss. They remained fighting Knights until the lost seconds of the game. There was disappointment, but there was also pride for our players and for their persistent effort. By Saturday night, the football loss was temporarily forgotten, and the students were ready to celebrate by dancing the night away. The cafeteria was filled with autumn colored decorations and shimmering disco outfits. The students danced to the sounds of Country!Western, Disco, and Soul. Winners of the Country!Western dance contest were Greg Malone and Lisa Perez, while Margaret Nunez and her date outspun the other Disco contestants. We all celebrated an event.

Activities could be an amusement or a hobby. They ranged from the Homecoming dance to a Valentines dance, tinkering with a car to flying an airplane, or getting the first deer of the season, to skating on the drag. Various activities could be enjoyed by every teacher and student at McCallum. Activities were not just for amusement, as some had to do with our culture, nationality, or politics.
