r A Closer Look Beginning with the presentation of the court in the assembly, followed by a parade down Main Street, a reception for the court before the game, and a disco dance climaxing the festivities; Homecoming ’79 proved to be a big success. However, the success of this annual affair is due to the weeks of planning by teacher sponsors and interested students. This year the homecom- ing committees were: decorations, reception, assembly, invitations, coronation, dance, and parade. These committees were under the general supervision of Mr. John Jacob. With an initial meeting at Carmela Tortorich’s house, the assembly committee was off to a great start. There, the foundation for the assembly program was laid. With Mrs. Mattie Collins and Mrs. Mary Morgan Pole-planters. Seniors. Michelle Jacobs and Martha Merlo plant a pole in McFadden Gym in remember-ance of Homecoming ’79. serving as teacher sponsors, the committee decided on the skit, decorations, and other necessary details. Once the assembly committee made final decisions about the decorations, a joint meeting of the assembly and decoration committees was held. Mrs. Linda Kittler and Mr. Jerrel Boast served as teacher sponsors of the decorations committee. One of the larger projects of the decoration committee involved the designing, construction, and decorating of the back drop that was used in the assembly and also at the game. The back drop took many hours to construct and dozens of people to stuff it with white and red napkins. Another back drop was designed by Mrs. Mary Ann Stafford and students from the Art Department. Another major undertaking was the planning and arrangement of the first homecoming parade in ten years. Sponsored by the Student Council, Kenneth Jackson and Suzie Henderson served as co-chairman of this committee. Invitations were sent to all the clubs and organizations within the school, and to dignitaries throughout the state. Thirty-four entries were received. Twelve of these entries were floats that had taken several days to construct. The parade provided an opportunity for all students to get involved. Only hours after the parade a reception was held honoring the court in the living room of the Home Economics Department. Mrs. Jo Mitosinka was responsible for serving 150 people cookies and punch. Preparation for the reception began about a week in advance. The Senior Home Economics classes cooked about 13 dozen cookies and other goodies. Other necessary activities included the mailing of more than 80 invitations, writing of the skit for the assembly, the hunt for convertibles for the parade, last minute searching for a D.J. for the dance, and coordinating the actual coronation Exploring the possibilities. Mr Han kins and Mr Boast discuss the plans for construction of the platform. 17 A Closer Look
