Rogers students GET IT TOGETHER Homecoming is the singIe-most important event of the school year at Rogers. What makes homecom ng so special? Unlike every other happening at Rogers, homecoming is the only one that involves the entire school. Anyone, no matter who he is, can partake in homecoming. Each Class and club participated. That made homecoming very special. Long before the big game, faculty, Club sponsors, and students were working hard to make the night an exciting one. Clubs elected candidates for homecoming queen; s- M mus individual Classes demonstrated their artistic ability by decorating the Class trucks; and all the Clubs showed their individuality by adding their own personal touches to their candidate's ear. To psych up the school for the big game and give the student body a last look at the candidates before voting Mr. Lange held a rousing pep sessron. Because the whole school worked so hard, the 1984 Homecoming was an exciting one. -Jennifer Franklin Becky Nauyokas, Delray Brooks, and David Childers put together the tlass trut'k Whit h was named, Best deroratedfl Christi Krachinski hurries the deeorating in order to make it 8 Student Life on time.

When the audence planned an evening at South Pacific, they expected to see the result of long rehearsals by the cast. However, they may have taken for granted all the hard work exerted by the set, light, makeup and running crews. Most people didntt realize how much these behind- the-scenes workers helped out; without them, the show would not have gone on, The actors would have played on an empty stage in the dark. Obviously, South Pacific had a very skillful crew, because nobody noticed them. Usually when the audience becomes aware of the back stage activity, it means the crews have goofed. Though the smoothness of the shows made the crew's work look easy, it really resulted from many long hours, both after school and on weekends, starting months before the show. Though they didn't get to take a bow, the crew for South Pacific deserved a standing ovation! -Jennifer Franklin Creating the island Bali Hai, Marvin Wiederhold prepares to give the audience some enchanted evening, Fall Play 7

She won the title of Homecoming Queen. A year and a half ago, Niki moved to Michigan City from Texas. She made friends easily and soon became one of the most popular girls in the school. Because of her good natured personality, she won the votes of her school. During the homecoming football game, Niki sat in silence worrying about the outcome of her candidacy. She worried about little things such as falling off the stage, falling out of the car, or getting a run in her nylons. But all of her worries seemed to be for nought because they all vanished when her name was announced. Niki Franz succeeded in upholding the tradition which her grandmother had begun by winning the title of Homecoming queen.
