Long hours of practice, Powder Puff and band members maneuver, while others stuff multi-hued pomps and show school colors proving homecoming: a real tug of war by Sam Kramer If one had to pick a week out of the entire school year that was more exciting than any other, which would it be? It would have to be a week where students participated in crazy stunts, maybe even as strange as wearing togas to school one day. What week could this be? Homecoming. Inge Dix ( ' 82) was crowned homecoming queen at Saturday ' s dance and reigned over the week of activities. Seniors Judy Bragg, Kelly Nickander, Stacey Schutz, and Leslie Mclntyre were the elected members of the court. Sweat Day started off the week September 28. Each day thereafter was a designated dress up day. Mickeys and Minnies roamed the halls on Walt Disney Day and the swish of grass skirts and bright colored shirts were heard and seen on Hawaiian Day. Students spent many long hours after school painting the streets with themes, such as the sophomores using the prep alligator to Prep a Victory. Decorating a hall assigned to each class was also an after school project in which students were involved. During the week nobody knew the race for the spirit stick would be so close. Wednesday night was the annual Powder Puff game between the junior and senior girls. Both teams devoted many long hours planning tricky tactics to bring home that victory for their class. It was a wet, chilly night, and both teams played their hearts out. The senior girls proved stronger than the juniors with a touchdown .Junior [ji a(l i puff iii.

Friday was the most exciting day of the whole week to most Millers. Classes ended at 10:30 a.m. for a wild pep session. During the session a tie between the junior and freshman classes for the spirit stick was announced. A tug of war competition would break the tie between the classes. Seniors defeated the juniors and sophomores took care of the freshmen. Sophomores went on to defeat the senior class, but it was the junior-freshman matchup that would decide the spirit stick. A conh-oversial decision to some, the freshmen were handed the spirit stick. Students were let free after the pep session, but most returned at 1:00 p.m. to either participate or just enjoy the homecoming parade. After the siren of the fire engine, the parade was off on its Noblesville route. Elephants and pigs drove golf carts, the band performed, FHA members dressed like tomatoes, and other clubs participated with entiies of other sorts. After the parade was over, each class float and club entry was driven into the football field for the all important judging. Seniors arrived at the field first with their Winnie the Pooh theme. Following was the juniors ' Wonder- ful World of Victory, then the sophomores displaying a ship sailing to a win. Finally, the freshmen entered with a steam iron theme suggesting the Millers would Impress those Wildcats. After the judging was over many people went home to get ready for the game later that evening.
