Homecoming ignites Devil fire Beginning slowly, cautiously, almost afraid to catch fire, Spirit Week burst into full blaze the last two days. Beach bums and boosters of the Red-and-White glided in and out of classes, proclaiming their support of the Red Devils. Sophomores, juniors and seniors worked long hours designing and constructing floats, but the seniors’ “Stomp Those Giants” won first place. Spirit Week peaked when these floats and twenty others wended their way from Fifteenth Street to the Glen Miller Park, escorted by police. Loyal fans and a strong-willed football team listened to Mr. Hub Etchison, retired RHS football coach; for what Hub had to say was that Richmond wanted to hear--hard, positive predictions of the Devil-Giant game. All watched the bonfire light up the sky and set the tone for the remainder of this festive homecoming week. Friday evening a fired-up Marion football team boasted of their superiority, claiming they would be victors. Fortunately they were wrong. The Red Devils shoved their way past the Giants and scored. Spirit Week and the 1982 homecoming activities were ending, but the warm glow of fun and victory remained.

Caught in the breeze 1982’s homecoming dance, “The Autumn Breeze,” blew into Civic Hall, bringing with it new, exciting decorations coupled with driving soul music. Dancers moved to the discs spun by John Summers from WBLZ in Cincinnati. Hanging from the rafters, a new parachute caught the colorful light show and stroDes. The festive atmosphere extended even to the lobby where strobes flashed as couples posed for photographers to “catch” memories for future years. Ann Dovle, senior Hi-Y cabinet member said, No one could ever forget how hot it was and how much everyone danced to John Summer's soul music-it had the beat that didn't allow you to sit down once. Every now and then you could catch your breath during a slow song, but it wasn't often. SOCIAL CORNSTALK—Seniors Kerri Ingram, Brenda Duke, Mark Hinshaw, Greg Gore, Ron Murphy, and Jim Dintaman take time from heavy dancing to shoot the breeze. WORK! WORK!—Everyone chips in to make “Autumn Breeze” stir up enthusiasm. GO FOR THE GRUBB-Mary Dehmer waits patiently for Mr. Mrs. Kutter to serve her and date, Sean Welsh.
