“Reflections of Yesteryear’’ Juniors took many Homecoming Honors The three days of events of home- coming proved to be a great success once again. On Thursday, October 23, the parade began at 5:00 p.m. Follow- ing this, the powder puff game started at 7:30. After the game at about 9:30 the bonfire was ignited. The competition between the classes began with the floats. The Sophomore float theme was White- wash the Devils. They won second place. The Junior float “MHS Pirates will make the Red Devils fall into the jaws of Defeat took first place. The Senior float theme was Declaration of Victory. Seniors took third place. In the first powder puff game the Sophomores took on the Juniors, Ju- niors winning in overtime. The second game matched the victorious Juniors and the Seniors. Again in overtime Ju- niors defeated the Seniors. Romantic scences were found at the bonfire. The bonfire ended about 10:30 when people went home to pre- pare for the next day. The football game added to the overall success of homecoming. Mer- rillville won 14-13. The sun sets on the French Club float at the close of the homecoming parade. The theme of the Senior float was Declaration of Victory. The Juniors kept up their repu- tation as they took first place again. 10
