Traditions Remain Firm The changing fall colors and cool temperatures provided the set- ting for the 1978 Saint Joseph ' s Homecoming, held on September 23. Jackson Field furnished the location for the football game, at- tended by several hundred die- hard St. Joe fans. The Indians fell to the LaPorte Slicers by a score of 14 to 12, bringing their record to 0-5. The halftime festivities included the traditional float contest, with the freshmen coming out the whin- ners with a float commemorating St. Joe ' s silver anniversary. The student-elected court included Janice DeLeu (queen), escorted by Dan Huber; Beth Healy, es- corted by Pete Agostino; Tammy Klimek, escorted by Chris Blan- chard; Sue Miller, escorted Tom Bolka; Marcia Nelson, escorted by Greg Nash; Susan Valdiserri, escorted by John Suddes; and Barb Wendt, escorted by Dave Mclnerny. Following the game, Indian fans flocked to the St. Joe gym in or- der to attend the annual Home- coming dance. Disco music was provided by a Ball State Universi- ty disc jockey, and the senior class sponsored the evening ' s ac- tivities. J i3t-jr iv,i J ■ ' ,.
