Covering the grass green field with their navy blue and white, the varsity players lined up for their final warm-up before the Homecoming kick-off. With the temperature rising both on and off the field, many people real- ized it wasn't being caused by the game alone. Unlike the preceding sev- en years, the air was dry and it wasn't raining. A lot of work had gone into this Homecoming and a few changes. For starters the University of MD had their radio station QWMUCJ there to announce and conduct the ceremonies. But the biggest change was the final score: 29 to zero. Northwestern had finally won their Homecoming game after a record of 7 years of losses. Some people didn't expect us to win, but others such as Kevin Monroe knew we would win because of Park- dale's record and that we were ready to defeat them! Sharon Humes and jose Burgos said We knew we would beat them on the field and in the drill contest before the game. With the game ending at 4:30 there wasn't much time to go home and get ready for the Homecoming Dance of victory. Is that a look of astonishment on Stephan Brantley's face as Tom Mooney 1371 and fellow wildcats tackle the opposing panthers in pur- suit of the football in the air? As Lajuan Huff stands at attention for the Star Spangled Banner, do thoughts of a victory cross her mind? T .
