Seniors Win Third Consecutive Year Spirit week started the Homecoming excitement with a bangi As the week began, all of the John Wayne fans showed their Sunday best of western get-up. Following a day on the old buffalo range, twins made their first and last debut. Betty Stockdale and Anne Trudel, Seniors, were voted best looking nerd twins, and won a much-coveted award. Wednesday no female wearing a hush button could speak to a male - or at least that was the way it was supposed to be if she wanted to keep her treasured button. The game was not quite as easy as all the female flirts thought it would be, but Eric Duecker found it a pretty rewarding games he had 18 buttons collected by the end of the day. Athletes ' Day gave all the jocks and jockettcs around school a chance to show off their good-looking legs and sporty-looking outfits. After school Thursday, students deco- rated their lockers with spirit-boosting chants and pictures. The winners of that contest were Barbi Francis, first, and Janice Gier and Kelly Winn, second. The final day of spirit week was red, white and blue day.. That night there was a spirit-boosting rally, which was fol- lowed by a blazing bonfire. Unfortunately, the weather was a little warm for the sparkling fire, but the enthusiasm was still there. Saturday began with the annual parade, a procession of clowns, trucks, cheerleaders, Patriettes, and floats. For the third consecutive year, the class of 1980 built the winning float, Massacre the Warriors. The 17-vehicle parade led the Patriot fans from Chadwick Swim Club to the Patriot stadi- um. As the cars and floats arrived at the stadium, the bleach- ers filled with an assortment of fans cheering on the climb- ing-to-the-top Patriot football team!

Color Rains At Homecoming The trickling of a colorful water display set a romantic mood for love-struck couples swaying to the mellow sounds of Fury. The Homecoming dance, A Long Way Home - a song written by England Dan and John Ford Coley - was sponsored by the Senior Leaders - representatives of the class of 1980. As 9:30 approached, the lights dimmed, and the dance floor cleared) the 1980 Homecoming Court approached from the east end of the Commons. The retiring queen, Heidi Reiman, proudly crowned her successor, Tina Akin Reigning King Mike Green gave the scepter to the 1980 Monarch Sean Newman. The most noted aspect of Home- coming ' 80 was the superb decor. Besides the gorgeous water display, lit up by a rainbow of colorful light- ing, trains of ivy weaved across the dance floor. The ivy ended on the hand rails of a bridge leading the class representatives to their hon- orable and memorable placement on the 1980 Homecoming Court.
