Students Parade in Style Beginning at Washington Park, the traditional Homecoming Parade was kicked off by the parade marshalls. Mr. Ray Ma-keever. former band director, and Mr. Bill Novak, former football coach and athletic director. The parade proceeded down LaSalle Street and ended at the high school where a bonfire blazed. Participating in the parade were each of the levels of the football team, the cheerleaders, the band, followed by the Pomerettes. the fall teams, and. of course, the Queen and court, who rode in a pony-pulled cart. At the bonfire, the cheerleaders got the crowd rowdy and the football team encouraged everyone to come to the game and cheer them on against the Dixon Dukes. The band helped out by playing familiar tunes to get everyone going. Pepped-up was just what the football team was as they defeated the Dukes. 35-21. This was the first time Ottawa won a Homecoming game in three years. Saturday night ended the Homecoming festivities with the Homecoming Dance held in Kingman Gym from 7-K) p.m. 'Homecoming '84' was the theme of the dance.

'Speed Trap' Catches First Social Event The sounds of the band ‘Speed Trap' could be heard throughout the courtyard on the night of September 17 when the sophomore class held the Freshman-Sophomore Mixer. The event was held to allow the class of '88 to get acquainted with the class of '87 and to get a taste of high school life. After a slow beginning, the sophomore cheerleaders began to dance and the freshmen soon were all rocking out” to their favorite tunes. Between songs, refreshments were served to all at the concession stand. This also gave everyone a chance to chat and to get to know each other while eating a hot dog-with-the-works and drinking a Coke. Then it was back to the dance where requests were taken for all types of songs. The mixer, which was arranged by the sophomore class officers, was held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.. and was chaperoned by homeroom teachers from both classes. This event marked the beginning of the many memories that OHS will hold for the freshman class in the years to come. Above. Enjoying the mu ic of Speed Trap.” Nicole Hoffman. Jane Dekreon.
