This year's Homecoming count- down began with a rowdy Spirit Week. Vikings got ready for the big game against Zion-Benton with the traditions of voting for Homecom- ing court, buying buttons and mums, decorating the cafeteria windows with football player's num- bers and peppy slogans such as “Put a Dent in Zion-Benton”. The Homecoming committee worked diligently on plans throughout the summer to coordinate the parade, pep assembly, alumni brunch, and the special dance. The balloon launch, the Sexy Eyes and Best Smile contests, and Johnny Morris as surprise guest speaker all helped to create a “Go For It! atmosphere at the pep as- sembly. The Vikettes performed a humorous routine to Double Vi- sion and the cheerleaders got the crowd excited for the game. On Saturday, October 16, the Vi- kings narrowly missed Sending the Bees Overseas . At half-time the Vikes led 8-0 on a six yard pass from Mark Imyak to Mike Lee. However, with Niles North still ahead 15-14 and twenty seconds left in the game, the Zee-Bees quar- terback threw a touchdown pass that did the Vikings in. The final score was 23-15 in a disappointing, but well played game. CLOCKWISE FROM UPPER LEFT) Skating downs smile for the camera. Honeybear Cindy Weiner judges the Hula Hoop contest.

Underclassmen Welcome At Dance Approximately fifty former Niles North students attended the annu- al Alumni Brunch to enjoy bagels and cream cheese, punch and don- uts, and to visit with old classmates and reminisce about past Home- comings. Most Alumni stayed to watch the game. A surprisingly large number of un- derclassmen attended the Home- coming Dance held October 16 in the contest gym. Homecoming Court was announced and Senior Jody Garland was crowned Queen, music by “Unity , and ice cream refreshments by Zip-Z were en- joyed and appreciated by all. This year's dance was a perfect round- up for the past week's festivities.
