Share Our Footsteps We worked. We worked for that smile on a teacher ' s face, the squeal in a child ' s voice the first time she meets Raggedy Ann and Andy, and for that touchdown pass. Oh, how we worked for that! We worked for the grade and the smiles on our parents ' faces reflect- ing their pride in us for a job well done. Yes, we will be successful. I know it. We also worked on being part of the crowd, but different enough not to be swallowed whole by it. That ' s tricky stuff. We saw the world in each other ' s eyes and a good reflection of who we were, too. We worked on our image and thought very hard about who we were and what we wanted to be. We worried a lot about that. Do we measure up to what others think us to be? Can I make the grade? Who are my true friends? Am I sane? We had dance classes, gymnastic classes, driver ' s ed classes, and swim- ming classes. We had jobs, after school practices, club meetings, photography assignments, and family obligations (Oooh, that little brother of mine!). Many of us hurriedly ate candy bars and called it lunch; we had more important things to do. It seems as if a time man- agement and responsible decision mak- ing course could have been added to our curriculum. We needed it so badly when our world was offering so much. Yes, we are sane, as one tangible step is in front of the other. Did you know that short footsteps taken over a long period of time measure the same as long strides taken quickly? Why? Because somewhere along the line the long stride must stop and figure out which path to take next. The steady but slow one had that time all along. Our lifetime consists of these long and short strides together. It ' s nice to be surrounded by people we know, sharing the same ex- periences, the experiences that school gives us. Some footsteps were meant to be SHARED. Kim Achenbach shows her talents in acting. Beth McClish smiles for the nice photographer. Meet the new football players, MHS. Student Fun 13

Homecoming, rating arrived early this year, September 27th to be exact. We scarcely had time to nominate a court. Neverthe- less, we accomplished this by nominat- ing a girl from each sponsor room. Then each of these girls had their pic- tures taken and hung in the central showcase so we all could see the nomi- nees and better decide who we would like as a finalist. Homecoming began with carnations delivered to lucky ones during sponsor room. The carnations came from friends and admirers who wanted us to know we were thought of that day. Some had such an abundance of flowers, it looked as if they were wearing carna- tion sweaters! At two o ' clock that afternoon a pep assembly was held outdoors in the stadi- um. The popular people with carna- tions also proved popular with the bees! But our minds were quickly taken off this dilemna and our attention averted to the field as a costume party got underway. The cheerleaders challenged the foot- ball players to blind fold each other and dress as homecoming candidates with dresses, heels, and wigs. When time was called, the blind folds were taken off and Jon Moshak won the crown. At seven-thirty the game began. The MISHAWAKA CAVEMEN played the South Bend Clay Colonials, defeating them by a score of 20-6. Mike Rogers caught a 65 yard touchdown pass for the first TD of the game. Brent Romfo caught a 24 yard pass from a tipped ball by a Clay player into his arms in the end zone with seven seconds left to go in the first half. Both TDs were thrown by quarterback Doug Kocsis. Dan Eggle- ston scored the third TD, and two extra points were kicked by Joey Jones. During halftime the homecoming court walked out onto the field. Betsy Carpenter was named queen by David Daggy, student council president, amid a flurry of camera flashes and congratu- latory smiles. Homecoming Queen Betsy Carpenter smiles through the tears of joy. Football players show their real talent, emptying the bag, Roggerman and Crop think they have it in the bag. 14 Homecoming
