'uk Homecoming Is A Time To homecoming- (honVkun ing) n, I. a coming or returning to one's home. 2. in many schools, an annual celebration attended by alumni. As classes from past years return to SPHS for homecoming, vivid memories return about their bonfires, the snake dances that wiggled their way down main street, and the all important football games. Memories also include bobby socks, long pleated skirts, and the many crew cuts which used to plague the school. -» ' Homecoming 1976 was definitely unique—not because of the activities alone, but because of the students. Thinking of the 1976-1977 school year one may recall famous sayins such as seriously now , stick it in your ear , you whooper , you queer , I'm having tumors , spastic , shut your beak , sit on it , you nerd , you fruit , How bad! , you turkey , Oh birds , and no thank you please . Even though these will never make it into Bartlett's book of FAMILAR QUOTATIONS, they serve as a reminder of our unforgettable year. We must not forget the happenings, fads, pranks, and other what-nots which also helped make 1977 great. How many other classes can brag about having a sign-up contest to be Kevin Sorensen's prom date? Not many people can say they have completely shaved their heads—Matt Rheaume can. Then along came Renegade's Defeat, Derner's attempt at a homecoming party, f an arr'val °f swine flue shots! More special features of 1977 % include having two Mrs. Turrittins, the changing of the school paper's name from Peter Patter to The Communicator , and H1 the yearbook's adoption of it's first mascot, Spike.
