Hollywood - Homecoming Happenings “With Shirley Temple tapping her way across the gymnasium . . . Hollywood brought back memories and so would our Hollywood Homecoming.” The Golden Days were here again. October 10th through the 14th, buttons and t-shirts were our way of saying Park’s Hollywood Homecoming was well on its way. Through those days, with the first quarter ending and spirits high. Homecoming chairpersons Pam Ortman, Jane Pratt and Dan McQuaid, along with the rest of their crew, put on a show to lift spirits even higher. With behind the scene troubles, frustration and crazy moments with rescheduling, the backstage practices became reality before our eyes. This captivating week began with coronation on October 12th. The crowns and robes were worn by Debbie Pavek and David Rosengren, our King and Queen stars for 1977. The props for the next scene presented were lemon, chocolate, and cream pies. 100 anxious eaters joined together in the cafeteria and the contest began. With pie covered faces, the swim team became the stars. As the series came to a close, a varsity show was set before our eyes. With Shirley Temple tapping her way across the gymnasium, the Andrew Sisters singing Boogie Woogy Bugle Boy, and the Marx Brothers doing their comedy routine, Hollywood brought back old time memories and so would our Hollywood Homecoming. That evening was the football battle with the Minnetonka Skippers. As the Homecoming button promised, the Skippers did “see stars.” With the game on the barely completed field, and the fans at full attention, the score of 23-0 was a fitting finale. Thus ended our entertainment for our Hollywood Homecoming, but the memories will remain. Opposite Page: Center Left: HOMECOMING CHAIRPERSONS: J. Theros, K. Polley, J. Pratt, D. McQuaid, P. Ortman.
