The festiviti-s began with a week of spirit with Hat Day, Clash Day, Button Day, Dress-Up Day and the ultimate Purple and White Day on Friday. To end the day ' s festivities a wild and crazy pep session took place in the gym. Irene Kourtesis, senior, stated, the pep session got very rowdy and eventful. One of the craziest students at the pep session was Tom D ' Asto, senior, who dressed up like a little baby to pull the winning Senior Float. Crazy John Malocha, senior, also played dress-up but in a pom pon uni- form. Malocha showed off the Pom Pon Float as well as showing all of MHS his sexy legs. Craig Parker, senior, stated that the pep session was by far the best one we have had in a long time. For the seniors, the major disappoint- ment was the Junior Class winning the Spirit Stick. The juniors miraculously won the 1984 Spirit Week competition. On a brighter note. Shari Moore, sen- ior, won the Miss Basketball award and Mike Meschede, senior, won the Mr. Basketball award. As for the night ' s festivities, the Pi- rates had a victory with a 46-42 win over the LaPorte Slicers. Victories at halftime included Soph- omore Prince Brad Curcio and his Prin- cess Michelle Sikula. Also, Junior Prince Jay Mack, and his Princess Karen Kirksey were chosen. The Queen and King of Basketball Homecoming were Dawn Halsted and Craig Kosac, seniors. After the game, many MHS students enjoyed the Homecoming Dance sponsored by the Creative Arts Club. — Vicky Tsampis Jett Kontor, senior, goes up for a shot as Dave Herbert, junior, looks on.
