18 Blue Gold Fight Fight The 1979 Homecoming activities got off to a timely start when the classes began their quest for the Spirit )ug with Dress Up Day. The Seniors took first place in the Blue and Gold competition. The classes were awarded points ac- cording to the number of students that were dressed in the school col- ors. Dawn Kostuik won 10 points for her freshman class by being judged the person best dressed in blue and gold. A new event at the pep rally was a spaghetti eating contest. This in- volved eating a large bowl of Paula Dunsmore ' s special recipe spaghetti with a baby spoon. The winner was junior Dave Pojecky. C.R. LaFata took second for the Seniors; fol- lowed by Freshman Terry Hebei and Sophomore Shannon Williams. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the pep rally, the air was filled with excitement and voices. The Seniors led everyone out in a rowdy snake and with hopes of a victory that night.

Competition Continues Student Council President, Tom Masters and Vice President, Paula Dunsmore organized the fifth hour pep rally. Coach Bacholzky deliv- ered an inspirational speech to his football players and the student body. The Student Council chose the overall theme of Eras which made for many inventive costumes. The Seniors chose a subtheme of Future. The Juniors were next and chose the 60 ' s. The 50 ' s was the Sopho- mores subtheme and the Freshman decided on the Stone Age in an ef- fort to rack up precious points. On Dress Up Day the students dressed in costumes that fit in with their themes. The Seniors took first place by having the greatest percentage of students in costume. Because of the elimination of hall decorations and the Monday pep rally, much more time was spent on costumes. As a result, the costumes were of higher quality than ever be- fore. 20
