Mums, game, dance - homecoming tradition Homecoming became a common word mentioned among students as excite- ment built for one of the big- gest activities of the year. Two assemblies took place to present the nominees for homecoming queen, the sec- ond of which turned out to be one of the most hysterical and unexpected events in Home- coming history, Though not on the ballot, an additional nominee was informally intro- duced by seniors Mike Blanc- hat and Sean Flynn, who ran out on stage and screamed, 'Here he is -the homecom- ing queen for the Seniors of '80 - Helen of Temple! At that, Helen, portrayed by John Sawyer, dressed in a blue and white dress complete with stuffing, pranced out on stage. After several visits with various members of the administration, the three cul- prits were sent to MID for a day. Concerning this esca- pade, senior Beth Bernirig commented, lt showed how much spirit our senior class really has. I don't think the punishment should have been that bad, though. The Homecoming finalists, Michele Psenick, Cathy Moore, Kim Chandler, Joy Davis, Natalie Woodward, Gladys Carr, Flose Fisher, and Virginia Cruz were accompa- nied onto the field at halftime by representatives of their clubs. Rose Fisher was named the 1979 Homecoming queen and escorted off the field by Principal Jack Gunlock. Following the 27-0 victory over the Ftound Flock Dragons came the Homecoming Dance sponsored by the junior class and held in the Student Cen- ter. Mrs. Melanie Henson, one of the dance chaperones, said, The dance was very successful, l thought. The big- gest comment made by stu- dents was that it was one of the most decorated and color- ful dances we've had, Seniors Derry Mraz, 'J D Holt, and Kenneth Davis runs left and picks up Scott McQueen. iniured at the begin- big yardage against the Ftound Flock ning of the season, stand along the sidelines during the Homecoming football game, 74 Student Life Dragons i Photo by Daniel Sha
