) Christmas Formal Heats up the Chill The evening of December 14 started out with the saying of the Apostles' Creed by Doug Goltz, senior class president. One by one, the students went up to say their prayers before the altar as the Living Rosary progressed. At the special mass, the Holy Family was portrayed by Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Goltz and Little Timothy Fischer. After the last prayer, students and parents filed out fo the church and into Tiehen Gym for the Christmas Formal. Way before the Formal date, the juniors of Sacred Heart decorated the gym as pictured bottom left. With this backdrop parents and students danced to the first tunes conducted by disco whiz Keith Marx as seen top left and bottom right. Of course a hot dance needs cooling, so the refreshment department was assigned to the freshmen. On top left, freshmen Greg Goltz, Brian Hoy and Tom Olberding show that not all is work without play. 31

Homecoming Tops Off Football Season When November 1, All Saints Day, arrived. Sacred Heart was already fired up for the Homecoming game against Nebraska City Lourdes Knights. Enthusiasm for the day built up the days before Homecoming during Spirit Week. On Halloween night, the juniors presented a homecoming play at the pep rally which was followed by the lighting of the bonfire on the practice field. It roared with sparks and smoke displaying the firey Irish determination to win. Finally, this all mounted to an Irish win with a score of 6-0, and the crowning of Doug Goltz and Joyce Stratton as king and queen. Starling from left to right: former Homecoming pair Debbie Nichols and Mike Olberding; Homecoming candidates Vicki Rathman and Phil Knobbe; Homecoming queen Joyce Stratton and king Doug Goltz; and candidates Amy Keithley and Jeff Frederick. During the Irish pep rally, the Homecoming bonfire was lit into a burst of flames and sparks as the Nebraska City Lourdes football dummy burned away. The Irish were unstoppable as they plowed through the Lourdes' defense. At the pep rally, the juniors presented their version of the T.V. series Fantasy Island as a homecoming skit. 30
