Cartoons Kick Off Homecoming 4 Fred Flintstone, Casper, Big Bird, Fat Albert, and Dudley Do-Right were all on hand to welcome everyone to Powers' 1973 homecoming. Mother Nature cooper- ated beautifully and the weekend began. Friday afternoon, with spirits soaring, the Charger band led the students through the halls to the pep rally. That night a very meaningful liturgy and a blazing bon- fire heightened our already high spirits. Saturday, Flint witnessed the biggest and best parade Powers has ever produced. Afterwards, a ceremony was held in the gym for the crowning of the queen, Carol Care. The scene then switched to Atwood Stadium, where the Powers' Chargers lost a closely fought battle to the Southwestern Colts, l5-3. The defeat was soon forgot- ten at the annual yearbook dance that followed. The Homecoming activities came to a close, Sunday, at the semi-formal dance which was attended by l5O couples. That weekend in October proved that there really is no place like home. K . . ,fe if i, ,JV 1 K, Top right: Hey, hey, hey!

From the bets in the boys locker room to the long hair stuffed in hel- mets, the excitement ran high for Powers' ist Powderpuff Football Games. For three weeks in advance, the feminine side of the 9th, l0th, llth, and 12th grade classes met at various parks in the city practicing for their November 20 debut. An announcement in the news- paper drew a crowd of 200 specta- tors to Holy Redeemer field. There they witnessed the first girls game under the lights in the area. All of the carefully planned strat- egy led up to the two big victories for the sophomores, 6-0, and the seniors, 22-0. Even now with only memories left of the pads, ierseys, coaches, and practice, the freshman and iun- ior powderpuffers can still be heard saying, Wait until next year.
