 Students show enthusiasm during Homecoming Week Homecoming Week was a big event for St. Peter High School students. The week began with Teresa Gostonczik being crowned the 1988 Homecoming Queen and ended with a 16-0 victory over the Fairmont Cardinals. Each day the students at SPHS dressed in different costumes, begin- ning with hippie day, followed by op- posite gender day, blue and white day, college sweatshirt day, and the original mush day, which meant “come as you are. Homecoming Week still consisted of the Senior girls vs. Junior girls in a powderpuff football game. What would that have been like if the Seniors would have broken the tradition and lost the game? There was no chance of them losing, with Carla Ryan running in the only touchdown. Powderpuff was not the same this year. Rules were changed and new ones were added. There was no tackling and new referees called the game instead of the SPHS football captains. The cheerleaders kept the mood of the game light though, with water balloons and shaving cream. The Fairmont Cardinals arrived charged for a fine game. Their com- ments like, you’re going down , to St. Peter football players charged the Saints to a roaring stampede. The game was a fight for both teams, but the Saints proved their skills and scored two touchdowns and a field goal to win the contest. After all the excitement of the game, the festivities moved to the gym where the East Side Pharoahs rocked SPHS with their old style rock and roll at the Homecoming dance. Together SPHS students shared the moments and the memories that were engraved in their minds forever. ■ - Shannon Kennedy 8 — Homecoming

Coronation adds class to Homecoming week Whom do you think will become the Queen? This was the question during the Homecoming Coronation. The crowning of the queen was very tense and memorable, not only for the queen candidates but also for SPHS students. At 7:00 pm on September 28,1987, SPHS's band started to play the school song Across the Field’. After the can- didates were escorted onto the stage, Student Council President Kirk Litynski walked around the group several times before placing the crown on Teresa Gostonczik's head. The question was finally answered and the new Home- coming Queen made her speech and read the schedule of the days of the week and all of the other events that were to take place during Homecoming week. Not only was the coronation a suc- cess, but success carried through the whole week ending with the Homecom- ing football game where the Saints de- feated the Fairmont Cardinals 16-0. ■ — Shannon Kennedy Upper left: The 1987-88 Homecoming court.
