A ‘ INEXTINGUISHABLE FERVOR victory, we moved into a three way tie for third place in the Nassau County Conference II division and tripled last season’s win total. Running back Andre Dixon broke touchdown runs of 60 and 40 yards in the first quarter on route to a Mepham record of 198 yards in a game. Larry Brady also ran for 132 yards as the Pirates opened an early 21-0 lead which they never surrendered. Placekicker Scott Pfister connected on all four of his extra point attempts. Hours after the game ended, football players, cheerleaders, and other students gathered for a victory party. People mingled with other people, ate, drank, and perhaps talked about the football game and parade. 'Did you see that touchdown by Andre Dix- on?” or I had nine people riding on top of my car during the parade!” may have been heard within the crowd. Most probably, there was no discussion of the thwarted plans for a bonfire; it was on no one's mind. Students realized that their pride for Mepham is not in the flames of a bonfire. It's created within themselves. The fire department extinguished the bonfire, forced us to hold an eighth period pep rally but we didn't let this dampen our spirits. We ignited a week of celebration, burning with a love for all that we call Mepham. —John Campanelli Homecoming Uncovering Excellence 17
