Freshmen Meet Ma And Pa Kettle By Dawn Hottinger The Class of ’86 proved itself united, showing enthusiasm and spirit during Homecoming. Dawn “Ma” Bliss and Ryan “Pa” Kurtz led the Kettle family as the freshman candidates. Their float included a little shack, traditional red and white barn, and a wooden bridge leading to the outhouse. With Ma and Pa surrounded by children, their float reminded everyone of the days when “Ma and Pa Kettle” was an old-time favorite on the television and movie screens. To the inexperienced freshmen, Homecoming meant establishing themselves as a class, which is just what they did. I) The Kettle barn stands through the rain. 2) Ma with her broom and Pa in his rocker. 3) The Kettle Home sits quietly while the family goes to classes. Homecoming pgs 18 19
