MHS had movie memories of homecoming The annual homecoming parade be- gan the events of the 1976 football homecoming. Following the parade were the powder puff games. In the first game the juniors played the soph- omores and the juniors captured the win. The winning juniors took on the se- niors in the championship game. The se- niors took first place in powder puff competition by downing the juniors. At the pep session Friday senior Kelly Keough was named Mr. Football. The game Friday night against Valpo was quite a challenge for the MHS Pirates. Number one ranked Valpo came back after Pirates had run up a half time score of 14-0 to nip the Pirates 21-14. At the half time of the football game Leslie Mack was named Homecoming Queen. Float honors were taken by se- niors first place, sophomores second and juniors third.
