The fun times came easy Although attending classes occu- pied a major portion of our time and energy we made sure we saved some of both for the fun times . Those times together, with friends, whether they be a few moments between classes, a half hour at lunch, or social occasions at night or on weekends, were special. Fun times Fun times 1 1

Entertainment plays a major role in each student ' s life. It could range from a party to a movie; a good book to a concert. Concert goers saw Kansas perform at the Memorial Coliseum last fall. It wasn ' t always getting a pizza that was fun, it was being with friends. Seniors Jamie Mann, Suzanne Claus, and Peggy Johnson get together for some fun (and food). If the band members aren ' t working hard, they ' re playing hard; the two seem to go hand in hand. They not only helped spirit by playing Eat ' em up , but also by cheering at pep sessions and games.

We celebrated the effort Although many think of a football game when the word Homecoming is mentioned, what comes to mind for many is the frenzied week leading up to the game. During that week classes were franti- cally putting finishing touches on floats till late hours and individuals were engrossed in dressing in assorted cos- tumes for Hat Day , Dress Up Day , and Purple and Gold Day . Sneak up on em and Sock it to em Day also was popular as students and teachers alike dressed in sneakers and assorted wild socks. Thursday night had special signifi- cance because of the float competition, parade, and announcement of the queen. The parade was led by Grand Marshall Magic Christian, disc jockey from WMEE. Floats and cars came rolling down the streets in bright colors. Hun- dreds of pleased faces watched at all points along the parade route; and based on the crowd roa rs it seemed as though they all attended the post-parade pep session. As the crowd poured in the gym the decision on winner of float competition and homecoming queen were on every- one ' s mind. For the second time in his- tory, the Junior class took first place over the seniors. The varsity cheerleaders won for the best decorated car. Linda Bender was 1977 Homecoming queen. The other senior candidates were Jamie Mann, Jill Moyer, and Melodie Dyson. The Homecoming game was a strug- gle but the Eastern Comets came out on top 14-7. Those who planned on celebrating a victory ended up celebrating the effort. Volleyball team members celebrate the first girls ' volleyball conference champi- onship during the Homecoming parade. The girls later earned the title of sec- tional runner-up in a close defeat by Har- ding. For just a moment on Friday night of the Homecoming game we had some crazy fans, a lot of spirit, and a winning team. Eventually we lost the game to Eastern Comets 14-7. Homecoming
