(continued from page 11) After an eventful evening, the mup- pets watched as the students left secretly in groups. They wondered what was go- ing on but decided to get some rest for the next day. While the muppets slept, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors worked busily into the early hours of the morning adding finishing touches to their floats. The next day, after taking front row seats, the muppets eagerly awaited the parade. Due to the construction on Ridge Road, the parade was rerouted. It started at Ribordy ' s drugstore on 45th Avenue and continued down Fran-lin. Finally it reached Columbia Avenue and the muppets, and were they surprised! Big Bird danced in amazement as he looked at a replica of himself. A smile was even seen on Oscar. After the parade, they were treated to Speech and Debate team ' s annual chicken barbecue. For only $2.75 they feasted on chicken, coleslaw, potato salad, hot buttered rolls, ice-cream, and milk or coffee. Cookie Monster even ad- mitted that it was better than cookies.

As the muppets stood in wonder, freshman princess Sara Kovich, soph- omore princess Janet Nottoli, junior princess Pam Seefurth, and senior prin- cesses Kathy Collins and Linda Jeorse, and queen Luann Revenew walked re- gally on the field. The results of float competition were then announced. First place was awarded to the seniors ' Big Bird and Os- car with the theme, Can the Pirates. The sophomores received second place with Kermit the Frog and the theme Make ' EM Croak. Third placed was given to the juniors for Cookie Monster and the theme Crunch Them Til They Crumble. The outcome of the game was a dis- appointment as the Mustangs lost by a discouraging score of 28-7. It didn ' t seem possible, but there was still more to come. Saturday night the muppets assembled in the cafeteria for the dance. Sesame Street came alive as freshmen, dressed as little kids, served cookies, hors d ' oeuvres, and punch. Murals of Sesame Street characters which decorated the walls also made them feel at home. The muppets joined in the dancing to the band Together . With a week of excitement behind them, the muppets set out for home. Back at Sesame Street they assembled in front of Mr. Hooper ' s store. They talked into the night about gangsters and bon- fires, princesses and floats, and their home-away-from-home.
