Dragon stew is grizzly brew! The sunshine was bright throughout Homecoming Week, as were the spirits of the student body. High spirits were first demonstrated at a special assembly Monday when the princesses were announced. Various skits were performed to reflect the theme: Dragon Stew is Grizzly Brew. The senior class princesses were Tracy Barton, Susie Bell and Debbie Holladay. The junior princess was Deanna Hanson, and Sharia O’Riley represented the sophomore class. Escorts were Jeff Jahnke, Kevin Kelly, Mike Milbradt, Chris Karson, and Rodney Egli, all juniors. Spirit Days started on Tuesday with “T-shirts and Shades Day.” Wednesday was “Frontier Day,” Thursday was “Hippie Day,” and Friday was “Red and White Day.” A large crowd of students and townspeople attended Wednesday night’s bonfire hosted by the senior class. Entertainment following this event was a girls’ powder puff football game hosted by “M” Club. Wrapping up the festivities of Homecoming Week was a spirited Friday pep assembly during which Tracy Barton was crowned Homecoming Queen. The highlight of the assembly was an entertaining routine by the Honey Dews, a drill team spoof, performed by the senior members of the football team. The sophomore class received top honors for the dressup and decoration competitions. The assembly culminated in a student body parade which progressed through downtown McMinnville. By evening a disappointed Grizzly team felt the misery of defeat as the Dragons outdid the Bears 35-7. Nevertheless, game-goers enjoyed a special pre-game Don Mabee Recogniton program, a speech by Queen Tracy, and an Impressive half-time fireworks display. Not to be outdone by the seniors, the juniors and sophomores maintained the spirit of competition after the game by hosting a dance honoring the students and alumni. Music supplied by Antidote kept spirits high throughout the evening, and the same enthusiasm and spirit that began Homecoming Week ended the week. Top: Grizzly seniors leave their mark in the lobby.
