l-lomecomin Student ingenuity with battered flatbeds, rolls of chicken wire, cans of bent and rusted nails, and a con- glomeration of tissues and napkins created a variety of floats for the 1968 Homecoming. As the special day approached, students found themselves sacrificing sleep and study hours to help construct their masterpieces. For the first time, a freshman and a sophomore class float were entered in the parade through downtown Mishawaka to Battell Park. Those floats jugded most deserv- ing were awarded prizes. Winning the competition were the seniors for theme, juniors for beauty, and M- Mens for originality. The 7-6 win was our third in four years over Penn: the non-winning year was a O-0 tie. The highlight of the evening came at halftime when senior Nancy Nelson was crowned Homecoming Queen. The band and A Cappella Choir performed during halftime ceremonies. A student council-sponsored vic- tory dance in the gym featured the Cambridge Five after the game. ,wc ' it The International Relations Club float is inspected for last minute touch ups by Mary Albanese and Mr. Richard Bottorff. The MHS marching band and pom-pom corp leads the homecom- float competition were floats representing each of the four classes ing parade through town.

Student Enthusiasm Signifies Rising MHS Spirit The MHS pep band adds lively notes of enthusiasm to pep assemblies. 'it in .- 1: . vs , il. School spirit at MHS boomed to an all time high. At the beginning of the football season the 615 sea- son tickets sold surpassed last year's sale of 120 season tickets. Spirit boosting aids included the painting of a maroon M in the center of the gym floor. A large sign depicting a Caveman and Tupper Field, Home of the fighting Misha- waka Cavemen was painted on the back of the press box in the stadium. Several organizations have also added to the rising spirit at MHS. The M-Men's club sponsored a dance after the bonfire in Merrifield Park for all MHS students. License plates with MHS Boosters printed on them were sold by the Booster's Club. Further building school spirit was the sale of sweatershirts em- bossed with MHS bythe GAA. Trying to involve more students in school spirit, student committees were formed. The pep session com- mittee created and participated in the skits presented during pep as- semblies. The sign committee eased the burden of the cheerleaders by helping them make signs and ban- ners for the games. Slgnmaking was made easier with the purchase of the sign shop which contains all the ma- terials needed for making signs. Special cheers and youthful lungs combined to create an atmosphere of victory at all sport activities. But school spirit was not only the cheer- ing at the games, it was the chatter in the halls, the enthusiasm in class, and the attendance at club meet- ings. MHS'ers were tuned in to school spirit in 1969. g ,,-mv 'ii - . N ' 1 ,, Yibf ' f Q , I -1. QW if S F ' - f'l7 4 i 'iiiiifa , iii 4 - , .-...L . V, .,. , .,. . 'Q L: 1 'Un tg.. ,.
