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

Christmas Hlled with spirit December came surpris- ingly soon at Temple High School, finding students beginning a new quarter with the Wildcats in the State play- offs and anticipating the com- ing holidays with the desire for a much needed break. The annual Christmas parade took place on Decem- ber 1 with clubs entering floats and the band and pep- perettes marching to tradi- tional Christmas music. The band continued to be heard by students, even after the parade, when early morning practices for upcoming games kept tired eyes awake with sounds of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas and The First Noel echoing through the parking lot. For the half- time show, the pepperettes donned red and white Santa hats to add to the spirit of the season. Within the school's Student Center, members of the Stu- dent Council put up their tall fir Christmas tree adorned with red plaid bows and com- plete with presents under- neath. For the Student Coun- cil-sponsored Christmas dance, a red brick fireplace was placed beside the tree where couples had pictures taken, while a local band called the Horizons enter- tained with a wide variety of music. The tour-day week before the holidays sped by with assemblies provided by the Concert Mixed Choir on December 19 and the band on December 20. Parties were held in spite of school rules and many clubs sponsored projects for different commu- nity activities. The season was wrapped up with the gift of a state foot- ball championship won three days before Christmas, send- ing students home content to relax and enjoy the rest of their two-week vacation. 16 1 Student Life During halftime at the State football game, the band and pepperettes per- formed Christmas music while form- ing the shape of a Christmas tree.
