Bancroft Street becomes a parade route with A Touch of Class The excitement and extravaganza of this year ' s Homecoming activities were heightened by a special school-wide parade featuring five classic cars donated for the school ' s use by Danny Sutphin Ford in Oregon, Ohio. Leading the parade was a 1978 Indianapolis 500 Pace car. This beautifully furnished auto, a Cadillac with a red velvet interior, carried principal Fr. Olszewski and academic d ean Fr. O ' Neill. It was followed by three 1929 Model A reproductions. The first was a black roadster pick up truck driven by Mrs. Lori Szymanski and Mr. Dave Comes. A silver roadster driven by Mr. Steve Loomis followed. Mrs. Sue Conrad drove the last Model A, a rare Super Deluxe white car which was once a member of the Polar Bear Series. Rounding out this line of unique cars was a 1973 customized Mustang — the last of its type ever to be assembled. Bro. Jim Roth drove the powder blue car which had the superb distinction of being the Grand National Winner of Show Cars. This year ' s parade was a first in school history — and it ranked in a class all its own.D — John Pierce Paradc 13

A chance to let loose results in Sanctioned Insanity BANG! CRASH CRUNCH! HUT 1, 2, 3, 4! Those are the sounds of a World War I Army tank and a brigade of soldiers working their way down Bancroft Street. Typical? Certain- ly not! It was all part of the 1981 Homecoming parade. Senior Tom Hood decorated and drove the family tank, leading the senior cars and the Stripes soldiers a zany group of spirited juniors. The parade was unique because, for the first time, it didn ' t include any floats. Instead, the 12 Paradc classes each decorated their respective cars in a mass of chaos before the parade. In the midst of the preparations, senior Ken Morris had a near- miss in his restored Mus- tang as another unidenti- fied car stopped within a few millimeters of his left door in the parking lot. The queen and her court sat in antique car reproductions with bags full of candy to be thrown to onlookers. The Senior class entered an entire fleet of cars. The Fresh- man class, not to be out- done, paraded in a gleam- ing, cherry-red, 1932 fire engine. The parade was led by the Marching Band, the Flag Corp, and the cheer- leaders. Fr. Marty Lukas, Stu- dent Council adviser, commended the school, saying that this year the students set a record in the number of partici- pants in the parade. Even the threat of rain evapor- ated as the last of the dec- orated cars turned into the UT Glass Bowl parking lot, bringing an end to a most unconven- tional Homecoming parade, n — Steve Scharf V leering the way for the Homecoming court, the varsity and JV cheerleaders dance and chant their way from SFS to the UT Glass Bowl where the Knights are preparing to take on the Eagles of Lakewood St. Ed ' s.

After the game, Knights begin Searching for a Sanctuary After the drudgery of 40 class hours, the week- end arrives. It is most heartily welcomed as a relief to the middle-of- the-week, 2-tests-l-quiz- a-day blues. A major highlight of the weekend usually includes some athletic activity, such as a football or basketball game. As the rivalry and competition peak on the field of play, the stands exude with the rowdiness of excess en- ergy finding a healthy outlet. But what do you do after the game? In Toledo, it takes someone truly creative to find something unique. The old standards seem much more popular. For those wanting to pig out after the game, McDonald ' s, Burger King, or Wend ; ' s offer a burger and fries to satisfy the hunger pangs. If it ' s not burgers you crave, then a pizza from Little Caesar ' s, Pizza Hut, or Godfather ' s may hit the spot. After the chow, video games enter the picture. Fat Daril ' s, Putt-Putt, or Ozzie ' s often swarm with bodies wanting to unwind. For those, however, who prefer to avoid the crowded fast food scene and mellow out, there are other options to choose from. Since late night television is a sanctuary of creative talent, arrang- ing to meet at a predestined house after the game to watch Fridays, Saturday Night Live reruns, or Second City Television has grown in popularity. Only a hoser would turn down such a chance. As always, however, for those who are more ambitious, a good party can be found someixihere in the Toledo area. Being creative after the game can be difficult, but most Knights make the best of it. Only a hoser wouldn ' t.
