No Place Like Home It was a cold, rainy Friday night. The football team sludged through the pud- dles with Gary Wirt while the 1987 Homecoming Court shivered waiting on the empty side of Marian field for the last seconds to tick by until half-time, when the they would walk arm and arm though the mud. It was the climatic conclusion to a week of tough competition and unified class participation. This year ' s Spirit week proved to be the most decorative yet. The excitement began on Monday, when the whole school came together to dress up. Then on Teus- day, the juniors constructed a jungle. Somehow, on Wednesday sophomore hall was divinely transformed into both Heaven and Hell. Then the Freshmen Beauty and the Beast: junior Jenny nichols and her pet gorilla get into the spirit of the jungle. Using a figure from one of the new line of low key commercials, the seniors developed Hollywood and fantasy as their Spirit Week theme. The 1987 Homecoming Court on Marian Field; E. Schmitz, K.

There were many high expectations for the big game. Half-time finally came and our Colum- bia blue band gave the crowd a musical performance complete with helium bal- loons and flaming batons. After the last notes of La Bamba faded into the night, a new voice came over the inter- come. And the winner is all I can say is Hurray for Hollywood!! said Fa- ther Fisher while assuming one of his new roles as school pastor, by announcing the 1987 homecoming court and the class of 1988, the seniors, as the winners of the annual class spirit competition.
