Victory Prevails Despite Gloomy Weather Monroe was the scene, the weather was cold and remorseful, and the day looked as though it would finish just the way it started. Inside MHS, the students pressed their noses up to the windows to catch a glimpse of the misty football field. With or without the weather on our side, we had hoped for a victory. Cheering fans swarmed into the gymnasium to undertake in some activities, namely a pep rally. The anticipation was mounting and the fans were fired up for a win. Football players, clad in their masculine’’ uniforms, displayed their cheering techniques to the audience by wearing outrageous outfits which projected enthusiasm plus a few morbid whistles. Despite the gloomy drizzle, the 1981 Homecoming Parade went on. Many Monroe citizens, including students from several schools, watched in awe as the floats went past. Nighttime brought out several alumni and current MHS students. Everyone at the event helped cheer the guys on for a Homecoming victory. 1 Queen Dawn Erickson huddles underneath an umbrella with her escort.

Monroe citizens were treated to the unfolding tale of several love triangles. The story revolved around Laurey Williams (Andrea Shreve) and Curley McLain. (Pete Creamer) who were having problems with their relationship. Although Laurey loved Curley. she played hard to get and almost lost him to the domineering Gertie Cummings (Mary Ann Miller). Jud Fry (Tim Pinnow) who also loved Laurey, gave everything he had for Laurey. but still ended up losing her when he was killed during a struggle with Curley. Now that Curley and Laurey were together, Gertie finally snatched up her dream man, Ali Hakim, (Mike Deignan) who was a peddler that was forced into a shotgun wedding with Ado Annie (Chris Weidman). Will Parker (Dan Jones) came back from Kansas City just in time to save Ali from this wedding, and to win back Ado Annie. Ending happily for all but Jud, the musical received standing ovations three of the four nights it was presented, making it a most memorable experience for all. I.
