At 7:30 p.m. the fans filled the stands anticipating an interesting game between the rival towns. During half time Student Body President Irene Fabisiak, senior, announced the princesses. Home- coming Royalty included prin- cesses Laura Janusonis, freshman; Lisa Trilli, sophomore; Terri Mah- ler, junior; seniors Mary Kaye Glowacki, Eva Zygmunt, and queen Michelle Kelchak. The crowd quieted and I heard that the Senior Class and I had received first place with our slogan “Beary ’em.” Scooter and the sophomores received second with “Scoot to a Victory,” while the ju- niors and Animal took a third with “Drummin’ Up a Victory.” Oct. 3, the date of the Home- coming dance, found the freshmen decorating for a “Rainbow Con- nection” just like the song. They danced with the band “Smug- gler.” “The freshmen really did a nice job decorating the cafeteria. The band was super, which really made the dance a lot of fun,” add- ed junior Karen Costa. I can see a group of students rushing toward me. It’s time to say good-bye. It was a fun two weeks. Just think — “The Battle of the Bridge” and Homecoming all in one night. Now that’s something we’ve never even had on the “Muppet Show!” ANIMAL’S MAGNETISM COMES alive in junior Evelyn Howarth’s garage while junior Dan Hurley strengthens the con- struction.

— Dating 17 — wo ' s Company Dating fills gap in weekeni nd plans At 6:30 p.m. the grandfather clock in a boy’s house sounded; he jumped in nervous anticipation of his big date. He tried to calm down by concentrating on how he would greet her that evening. While in another house, a girl ran around her room desperately trying to find the “perfect outfit”. As the doorbell rang, she jumped, knocking her purse to the floor. Finally, after mom and dad gave their silent approval, the couple promised they would return by their curfew. It is not always tense on the first date, as Jeff Zudock commented. “The first date is a challenge; it really gets the blood pump- ing. You never know how the evening will end up.” From the other spectrum, Lisa Trilli, sophomore, said, “the first date is a bit tense for me, but I really try to have an enjoyable time. You don’t know how the guy will react to you.” FOOD FOR THOUGHT . . . and entertainment. Ju- nior Larry Braman and senior Cheryl Brazel dine at a Greek restaurant before a flick. Couples have different preferences on where they go and what they do when dat- ing. Some couples prefer the loud crowded atmosphere of a football game, while others enjoy the quiet, private atmosphere of a casual restaurant. A relaxed evening may include a movie and a bite to eat afterwards. “I enjoy eating some ’good’ food after a movie,” comment- ed Mike Anasewicz, senior. “I enjoy eating at Lange’s, Giovanni’s or Aurelios; it really helps to make a great evening.” For other couples eating out is not so important. “I don’t really care where my date and I go out to eat, McDonalds or Burger King, as long as its something to eat,” quipped senior Barry Klosak. Other couples enjoy a loud crowded at- mosphere. “I like going with a date to a party, because it can be a lot more enjoy- able than a movie,” said Donna Werra, ju- nior. Some people feel more relaxed in a crowd of people. Debbie Peterson, senior, said “for anybody’s first date a party is an enjoyable place to go, since you are not by yourself and it’s easier to be with other peo- ple.” Besides the regular movie dates, some couples go roller skating or go to the beach on a sunny day. Others enjoy more unique forms of entertainment. Matt Urbanski, ju- nior, said, “1 enjoy an excellent hamburger at Schoops then something like Donkey Basketball. I also enjoy the circus or a con- cert. I like something with lots of action in- volved.” Chicago also provides entertainment for others, as Andy Yerkes, senior, explained, “Chicago is loud, wild and fun. It’s a place where you can have a real great time with a date.” Munster can not compete for excitment with Chicago, but dating can still be fun. Going on a date, whether to River Oaks or a basketball game, can be enjoyable, yet wor- risome if you have the “first-date jitters”. One remedy for this problem is to sit back, relax and have fun. TO KEEP THEIR stomachs from growling during the movie, senior Dan Bard and sophomore Rosie Mason get some popcorn to hold them over. ATTEMPTING TO BREAK the ordinary dating hab- it of the movies, dining out or basketball games, seniors Gretchen Guyer and Bill Whitted lace up their roller skates as they look forward to a night of ups and downs.
