We’ve Got What It Takes Homecoming 1976, planned by the Student Council this year, was an interesting combina- tion of the old and the new. Streamers and murals were once again attached to the walls and ceilings of the main hall by Student Con- gress members and other energetic students. On Monday, the traditional search to find the hidden devil began, as did the float construc- tions. Tuesday, donned Walter Mitty Day,” witnessed the dressing up of students as they dreamed they would some day be. And for a new effect, many students dressed like their friends on Wednesday’s “Dress Alike Day,” while others participated in the annual egg toss contest. A sense of adventure pervaded the atmosphere on Thursday as sophomore and junior girls clashed with senior girls in a power puff football game in which the 0-0 score did little justice in describing the rough- ness of the game. Friday, Blue and White Day,” was highlighted by the coronation of Danita Tassi and Perry Lofquist. That evening brought the annual rat pack, paraded, and halftime presentation by the marching band. For the second year in a row, the class of ’78 was awarded first place for their “We Pan-da Win” float. And despite the snow and bitter cold, the Devils fulfilled the theme by scoring a resounding 19-0 victory over Chisholm to end an exciting Homecoming week. 18 HOMECOMING

Bye-Bye Birdie More than a touch of nostalgia was invoked in many members of the audience as they saw the story unfold about rock star Conrad Bird- ie, (Joe Dombeck), the girl he would give “one last kiss,” (Jill Baumgartner), and the man- ager, (Perry Loftquist), and the secretary, (Debby Cebelinski), who master-minded the record sales promotion. Lynn Vandervort and a host of other supporting characters added much humor to the musical. With months of rehearsals by the actors, work by the costumes and props crew, and practice by the pit or- chestra and lighting crew, much effort went into making the production a success. But the cast and behind-the-scenes people exper- ienced many good times as they worked to- gether towards their mutual goal. And the audience’s standing ovation assured the par- ticipants of the public’s appreciation. 20 MUSICAL
