SlUIl3IIfllQ Sllj IIIQIESA Pirates Extinguish North Stars Bzzzz l , . And at the end of the game, Pattonville, 31, McCluer North, 21 l The crowd, packed into the stands, stood as cheerleaders, coaches, faculty, and students ran onto the field to congratulate the victorious Pirates. A-I.-L R-I-G-H-T! All right, all right, all right l cried the cheerleaders. Pirate strategy throughout the game seemed well-planned. While on his way to a 150-yard game, Chris Kientzel scored on runs of thirty-two and seventeen yards. Doug Anderson nabbed a North Star aerial and sprinted fifty-three yards to the goal line. John Gibson handed off to Joe Walsh who plummeted over from the one-yard line for the next Pirate TD , Kevin Mueller booted a field goal and scored four extra points. The offensive vigor was matched by that of the defense as Jeff Houston and Perry Gerdes led in tackling. Alan Ratliff, Jerry Luna, Doug Anderson, and Perry Gerdes all intercepted Star passes. Spectators were unanimously enthusiastic about the Pirate victory. Senior Venita Ellison exclaimed, I think our team played really well. I know most of the players on McCluer North's team, and they kept saying how good they were and how bad they were going to beat us. The score came close a couple of times, but I know the Stars were no competition for the Pirates ! Junior Kevin Kleinlein said, I think they played really well except it was too cold to sit and watchfl Then he laughed and added, When not watching the game, I watched the cheer- leaders. That warmed me up! Halftime festivities began as the Marching Pirate Band, Drill Team, Flag Corps, Honor Guard, and Majorettes marched onto the field. The finale came when drum major Doug Hopkins set off firecrackers. John Fulgham introduced the Homecoming Court. The repre- sentatives from each class were introduced individually, and then they and their escorts stood before the crowd. Finally, the intro- duction was concluded with the announcement of the new queen, Terri French. Vicki Swyers, the retiring queen, steadied Terri while placing the symbolic crown on her head. By the end of the afternoon, the crowd was charged with excitement. The football team had been victorious, a new queen had been crowned, and in a few hours the dance would begin. The successes of the day inspired Coach Charlie Linn to comment, The Homecoming festivities were great throughout the week, and it's always exciting to cap off the biggest event of the fall with a successful contest. by B.

As Soviet troops invaded Af- ghanistan in the last week of December, 1979, fifty Americans spent their twelfth week as hostages in the U.S. Embassy in Teheran Iran. On November 4 the embassy was stormed by approximately 400 radical students who were urged on by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeinie the 79-year old Islamic ruler of Iran. The Iranian students took the Americans hostage in an attempt to black- mail the U.S. into returning the ousted Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi. At that time the Shah was in a New York hospital receiving treatment for cancer. The students demand- ed that the Shah be returned to Teheran to be tried for treason and numerous crimes against the Iranian people. American au- thorities refused to return the Shah since he had served for years as monarch of a coun- try which was an ally of the U.S. bases I1 . . W ' ' - r i. W s s 3 Yi? - , -ff-gg.
