Homecoming 1980: A Week of Fun The 1980 Homecoming activi- ties began with the week of September 29. This week was filled with many festivities to make this year ' s Homecoming a big success. ' ' The Black Attack Strikes Back was the Homecoming theme. It was named after the football defense which is called the black attack defense. The Homecoming queen can- didates were chosen the week before the big event. The court consisted of six senior girls, In- grid Biberstein, Linda Dubach, Merylee Graber, Janet Liechty, Jill Sprunger, and Joni Sprunger. The girls were intro- duced, along with their escorts at the half-time of the South Adams-Dekalb football game. The new queen, Linda Dubach, was also announced at this time. The activities began Monday with mail day. Tuesday was shirt sign day, Wednesday was jersey day, Thursday was no sweat day, Friday was Black Attack day when everyone was to wear black. The football cheerleaders sponsored these days. Thursday after school hall decorations began. Each class was assigned a certain hall to decorate. Students were to decorate the way they thought the theme could best be por- trayed. The results of the con- test were announced at half- time also. The Seniors were awarded 1st, Sophomores got 2nd, the Juniors 3rd, Freshman 4th, and the eighth grade re- ceived 5th place.

After the decorating was over, the bonfire-pep rally began. It was a cold rainy night, but many dedicated fans showed up to cheer the team on. The Cheerleaders worked hard to make this rally successful. Cheers, band music, and talks from the football players helped to make up the evening. Coach Bridge ended the evening with an encouraging word to the football team. The FFA sponsored the annu- al chicken BBQ after school on Friday, with many people com- ing out for it. Then the time came for the football game. Al- though the weather was far from perfect, many fans showed up to cheer for the team in their game against the Dekalb Barons. The Barons went home with a 22-0 victory. After the game an open dance was held. Shock was the featured band for the dance which proved to be successful. At 11:00 p.m. the dance was over, and so was the first successful Homecoming of the 80 ' s. A member of the band SHOCK warms before the Homecoming dance.
