Second Spirit Week” Student Council sponsored the second annual Spirit Week, which was climaxed with a Redskin victory over Clifton Central, October 25. The 20th annual Homecoming activities started on Monday with the beginning of the tape race and the Sexiest Legs contest. Pho- tographs were taken of several football players’ legs and dis- played for student vote. Students showed preference by placing coins in corresponding jars. Senior quarterback Chris Sharkey walked away with first prize. Students and faculty alike sported numbered jerseys and crazy socks for Tuesday’s Sock and Jersey Day. Sixth hour Wednes- day was devoted to Race Day. The two-lap tricycle race around the school was run on Student Council owned trikes. The Sexy Seniors emerged victorious with the sophomores placing second. Attention then shifted to the tug-o’-war contest at the north end of the football field. The Class of ’76 surprised everyone by out-pull- ing all of the teams except the faculty. Finishing second were the sophomores. During Thursday’s pep rally, the apathy of MHS made its pres- ence known. Four teachers, Mr. Bill Briggs, Mr. Bill Rosenberg, Mr. William Smith and Mr. Dave Sikma, were used as pigeons in a cheerleader sponsored skit. Each faculty member, representing one of the classes, came down a ladder at a speed regulated by how loud each class yelled. Mr. Rosenberg, behind the yelling sopho- mores, reached the bottom first only to be chased around the stage by pie-armed Jon Simpson. adds to Homecoming After school, all four classes brought in their collections of burn- able material for the wood contest. The judges ruled the sopho- mores as winners, with the seniors placing second. The tape race came to a close on Friday with a total of $190.81 collected and turned over to the Frank Simpson Memorial Stadium Fund. The class of '75 purchased a total of 3,816 inches for first place with the sophomores a distant second at 1,588 inches. Students and faculty, wearing the school colors, observed the Homecoming Parade Friday afternoon. The seniors and freshmen tied for first place in the float competition. The freshmen entered the theme, Looks Like We're Gonna Dunk 'Em Donut, while the seniors entry claimed, They May Be the Comets, But We ll Be the Stars. Put the Comets in Their Place, Down the Drain, placed the sophomores third, with the junior entry, Ice Cream for the Redskins and Soda You, placing last. In the organizational com- petition Spanish Club’s Bottle 'Em Up placed first. The Publica- tions Class was represented in the parade by Kirby Warne and his horse Smoky, although they did not partake in the competition. That evening, after a downtown pep rally won by the seniors, the snake dance and the bonfire, halftime of the football game saw the coronation of the Homecoming Queen. This year, instead of having the new queen enter the field in the last car, all of the candi- dates were on the field before Jeannine Munyon was crowned by the 1972 queen, Mary Storer. For their competition throughout the week the seniors were awarded the Spirit Plaque. 27
