FAR LEFT: Excitement prevails as the Homecoming court of senior princesses Linda Jeorse, Kathy Collins and Home- coming queen Luann Revenew and her escort senior Doug Weinberg take a walk down Sesame Street along with princesses junior Pam Seefurth, soph- omore Janet Nottoli, and freshman Sara Kovich. (continued from page 13) During halftime, music filled the air as the Marching Band performed to “Rub- ber Duckie, the Sesame Street theme and “Sing a Song. Grover, Cookie Mon- ster, Oscar, and the Count joined in the festivities as they danced around the field. The music quieted as the Home- coming court took a walk down Sesame Street. 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.

BELOW: Just like the boys on the Varsity football team must warm-up before a big game, junior Debbie Brandt prepares for the night ' s encounter by doing kneebends. I t was the cold, starless night of Oct. 11. The school parking lots and the football field were empty. Suddenly the stillness was broken by the sound of 57 junior girls running across the south parking lot into the warmth of the school, chanting J-U-N-l-O-R-S! . From the opposite side, similar cheering could be heard. S-E-N-l-O-R-S! As both teams ran onto the field, the crowds were being led in cheers by six junior and five senior boys dressed in skirts, sweaters, long underwear and wigs. Throughout the Powder Puff Football game, the tension was broken only by the antics of the cheerleaders playing a mock football game and the crowning of the Powder Puff King, senior Bill Zweige, at halftime festivities. At the end of the game, the 30 senior girls, coached by Mr. Bob Maicher, math teacher; Mr. Robert Shinkan, math teacher; and Mr. David Russell, English teacher, emerged victorious with a final score of 34-6. Scoring touchdowns for the seniors were Sandy Capps, Linda Jeorse, Debbie Kucer, and Lydia Megr- emis. Scoring the only touchdown for the juniors, coached by industrial arts teachers, Mr. Steve Tomasula and Mr. John McDonald, was Linda Mandel dur- ing the second quarter. Shouts could be heard from both teams as they moved off the field, the seniors, glad to have kept up the senior record, and the juniors, proud that they helped earn $397 for both classes. As the lights dimmed on the field, the weary girls trudged home to spend the next few days treating their bruised and scratched bodies with tender care.
