The game also gave the onlookers another chance to cheer on their own grade level, especially the guys who now became cheerleaders. Friday came and with it the last day of Homecoming.

Another student, Wendy Krupp, senior said. Leslie Deblock, was my favorite because she did a really good job of imitating Tammy Faye Baker and because her makeup resembled Tammy's really well. The excitement of the week came to a conclusion at the football game and the dance afterwards. But with the cold temperatures the game was put on ice in more than one way. Many students who had braved the cold gave up at half time to find a warmer environment This year’s slogan, “Devour the Spartans,’’ didn’t quite work as Richfield beat the Orioles 21 -7. Park's only score of the game came in the first half with Ron Heath, senior scoring on a 17 yard run for the first points of the game This left many Park fans hopeful for a homecoming game victory There was another outstanding player according to most of his teammates. Brad Lecombe. senior, who made 28 tackles breaking the school record. Dan Thurston, junior, summed the game up by saying. Our problem came when we gave up the one long run to Richfield which gave them the momentum to pull ahead of us and win the game. This year's dance was a masquerade affair According to Scott Unze. senior. There weren't a lot of people dressed up. but there were a lot of people at the dance. The WLOL Sound and Light Show provided the music at the dance. Many people commented that the music could have been better but the dancing was still good. And with the dance ended. Homecoming was over for another year. It was a fun filled week of activities and now it was only history. Offering a final comment. Kari Buttrey. senior said. It was an exhausting. but great week.
