Smiling proudly as they are escorted through the Homecoming Parade, freshmen princesses Jodi Toth and Angie McGuire await the crowning of the Queen. Into the past . . . the 60 ’s Live Again! espite the rainy weather, the Homecoming bonfire was not a total flop. Although the fire did not actually start, the spirits were still there. Students gathered around what was supposedly the bonfire, but actually a large pile of wet wood to chant our team to victory on Homecoming night. After many unsuccessful tries the firemen and many of the students decided to go home, but the enthusiam and spirit of everyone paid off. The next night the Eagles tri¬ umphed over the Handley Judges for a 7-0 Homecoming victory. During halftime were the annual festivi¬ ties — the crowning of the new Homecom¬ ing Queen and the float contest winner. Chosen by her classmates, Laurie Goess- man became the newly crowned queen. Her court included senior princesses Jackie Gray, Susan Leshuk, and Kim McGuire; junior princesses were Jenny Laird and Shreve Orndorff; the sopho¬ more court was Cristy Badgely and Court¬ ney White; and the freshmen princesses were Angie McGuire and Jodi Toth, (con¬ tinued next page) Although the bonfire was nothing to brag about, the night seemed to light up some faces, like sopho¬ mores Nicole Guerriro and Betsy McGowan. 10 homecoming

Into the Past . . . the 60’s Live Again! ecorating the floats to the theme of “the 60’s”, each class interpretated its own understand¬ ing of that decade, with the sophomore class winning the contest and receiving a monetary prize for their efforts. Homecoming spirit was provoked throughout the week proceeding the game by specifying each day as a certain dress-up day. These days included a hat day, a badge day, and a blue and gray day. The Homecoming excitement and fes¬ tivities finally concluded with the annual SCA sponsored dance. Deco¬ rations were provided for by SCA members, and music was provided by a disc-jock¬ ey, who played many tunes including both popular and 60’s music to tie in with the theme. To help spirit become revi¬ talized and to help ready the football team to win a Home¬ coming victory, the first pep rally took place in the soon — to — be — old gym. Each class cheered trying to out- scream the other three classes with the sophomore class walking away with the spirit stick. And, many “new” cheerleaders dressed in a variety of uniforms emerged onto the gym floor to wish the team an early victo¬ rious game. Starting Homecoming off on a promi sing note a band member participates in the parade down Main Street. 12 homecoming
