ML BIG ?m Of HOMGCOMIMG WGGK On January 26, Homecoming Week began. Tuesday started off the week’s activities with Purple and Gold Day and No Homework Day. The Assembly was also held on Tuesday, featuring the cheerleaders in a “punk rock” routine. In the Sponge Throw, which was also held on Tuesday, students hurled wet sponges into the faces of their “favorite” teachers. The Homecoming game Tuesday night was played against the Waterloo Bulldogs, which we wiped-out and put in their place, as the posters covering the walls declared. Wednesday continued the fun with Hat Day and No Quiz Day. Thursday, everyone came to school casual and comfortable, as it was T-shirt Day. Friday was Sucker Day and Dress Down Day. People from all walks of life came to school Friday, from an Indian to a miner, to a punk rocker to a softball player. Saturday night was the culmination of the week with the victory Homecoming Dance in which Mike Junge and Shirley Trog were crowned Homecoming King and Queen for 1982.

ROYALTY CROWNED F S CLIMAX Of1 HOMCCOMING RETIRING HOMECOMING KING AND QUEEN: Scott Kraus and Jill Newman. Homecoming Dance was held on January 30, after a week filled with crazy antics such as a Sponge Throw, Sucker Day, and Dress Down Day, just to mention a few. During Homecoming Week, students’ lunch hours were filled with voting for Prince and Princess from each of the four classes, and Senior candidates for King and Queen. Then, on Saturday, the new Homecoming King and Queen, Mike Junge and Shirley Trog, were crowned. Music during the dance was provided by Phazer, and the gym was decorated with purple and gold streamers. Debbie Greten, Mardy Kees, Clare Wesolik, and Shirley Trog prove that neither rain nor sleet, nor SNOW, can keep them from having a good time.
