Season’s crop rich in spirit conversations with friends concerning. what to wear were over. The organization of the homecoming dance was complete, The gath ering and sifting through your clothes the day before to select something which proclaimed the theme was finished. The waiting and anti cipation had reached its climax: the big day had finally arrived! Ina flurry of original, unusual costumes to fit the theme of “Let's Harvest Another Super Season,” the day began. The first ching we looked forward to on homecoming day, besides looking and laughing at what every body wore to school, was the homecoming pep session, The bleachers, filled way over capacity, scemed to shake with the movement of t he spirited kids yelling and cheering for their team. Special skits, like the one by the seniors (stylishly clad in potato sacks) singing 2 song they composed themselves and playing kazoos as accompaniment; the happy, singing ymatoes’ he junior class, and the hilari- us take-off on “Hee-Haw” by the sopho mores, added fun and variety to the pep ses sion. Guest appearances were made by Luther Bradley, comerback, and Dave Reeves, kick ing specialist for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, whose words also gave spark to the already spirited students. Those special guests, special skits (which even the teachers, with their own version of our school song, presented), and our total feeling of pride combined to make the pep session a rousing success. The spirit of the day, heightened by the pep session, lasted on into the evening to the football game with our 19-0 shutout victory over Elkhart Central, and the homecoming dance. Featured at the dance were Sam Rulli’s River City Cycles of Sound, an excellent group popular in both the rock and disco scene. Students’ spirit was now displayed in dancing the “Bump” and other current dances. ABOVE Mr. Gollatz shyly tums away from the camera while cheering at pep session.
