A Basketball Bonanza GUS! GUS!! GUS!!! Shouted frenzied seniors in the heat of the Basketball pep ralley as they cheered on their senior com- petitor in the donut competition. It was the culmination of a week of spirit and unity; It was the afternoon of the big game. The Indians began their spirit week on Wednesday this year, as they dressed in their best attire to show that they were be- hind their team. On Thursday, individuals came together in pairs for Twin Day where Kristi Grant and Marianne Giolitto came dressed identically with faces painted half white and half black. Then came Friday when St. Joe spirit charged beyond the Western frontier into our own Indian territo- ry (the gym), where a rocking pep ralley was held, complete with donut eating contests and blue waves. On Rodeo Day, the cowboys were abun- dant and school unity and participation was at it ' s peak. A large part of this excitement was because of the 1988 Basketball Home- coming Court. The candidates for queen in- cluded: Julie Bloomquist, Maria Dominello, Kate Etzel, Ellen Lanser, Heather Siade, and Chrissy Zubler. The nominees for king were: Dean Ernzen, Joe Gruber, Pete Horvath, Ronan O ' Malley, Scott Wasoski, and Scott Zygulski. Before the game, senior basketball play- ers and cheerleaders met their parents with roses in the middle of the court to show Mom and Dad their appreciation in honor of Senior Night. Then the action began. St. Joe immediately dominated the Chargers. By half-time the game belonged to the Indians, and the crowd directed its attention to the twelve seniors with nervous but sparkling smiles in the center of the streamer-filled gym. It was then that Ellen Lanser and Dean Ernzen were crowned the King and Queen of the Basketball Homecoming Court. But they weren ' t the only winners of the night. The seniors won the Spirit Week con- test, Mr. O ' Neil ' s and Mrs. Hendrix ' s room won the competition to decorate homeroom doors, the Indians pulled a victory over the Chargers of Elkhart Memorial, and discust- ingly enough, Gus won that donut-eating competition, somehow managing to stuff ten donuts in his mouth in two minutes. So to say the least, the 1988 Basketball Homecoming Week was a week to remember. The King. Brad Lightcap, Paul Walsh, and Chris Dc- luca pose with Elvis Presley on DressUp Day. Smoke elaiials.
