L ,,.,L ' Mike Hudzik junior have to look good for Friday night. I wonder if she'll go with me and oh no!, what if she does? What will I put on her mum? Conversations just like these could be heard during the week of September 23- 27 prior to the Homecoming football game. Different organizations and clubs had 12 Student Life their own way of getting read for the Homecoming activities, but in the end it all fit together and made for a week of celebration in every way possible. There was so much going on before and after the game that it was hard deciding which ones I should set time aside to attend, Theresa Iohnson, senior, said. A bonfire, an election, a parade, a game, an ice cream supper, and a dance were some of the activities that the stu- dent bod could participate in. The Key Club haulred in, stacked up, and lit a very lar e bonfire. The club spent afternoons gatiering the wood and stacking it just rig t. Iennifer Kennedy was crowned queen and Iennifer Bell and Francie Bell were named princesses. The excitement 'ust didn't stop there as the Wildcat football team went on to defeat the West Mes- quite Wranglers 27-0. Following the Wildcat victory the student council spon- sored an ice cream su per for everyone to enjoy. The next nigliit a Homecoming dance was held in the Civic Center.
