fRightl Before the Homecoming game, class floats paraded around the football field. Chris Ross, loonne Hichichi, Wendy Godfrey, Larry Sutter, and Mike McComb created more Moments to Remember. JllIll0l:S.Slllk opposition omecoming harbors a number of traditions: the bonfire, the game, the float competition between classes, and the dance. SGA announced Eras as the theme for the float competition. It chose Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Kennedy, Rev. Damon, and Mrs. Morrissey as judges. The floats were judged on a scale of one to ten - on imagination, creativi- ty, design, and authenticity. It was really a tough decision. All the floats showed a lot of creativity, said Mrs. Kennedy. A Viking vessel, the Freshman float, with a theme of Vikings sail to '82 , received a score of rfinety-six points. We had most of the frame up and then we had to tear it down. That left us only one and a half weeks to finish it. Sometimes we had only three people working on it and other times we had ten or fifteen, commented Drew Lounsbury. The Sophomore float, a Conestoga wagon drawn by two horses, pulled one hundred twenty-six points. Their theme was Graduation, here we come. Our float was a lot of fun. We worked hard and learned to cooper- ate. We learned a great deal more than that, though. We learned mainly how to deal with problems and how to solve them. With Mr. DiL0renZo's help, we had the float finished and at school in plenty of time for the parade. All of the floats were really well done this year. And even though there were some sour feelings, we still had a good time,', said Chris Shipman and Mike Menendez. 12 HOMECOMING Lrg.. . I fi

The class won the competition for the third year in a row. jimmy Noah Fogg fclass vice-pres- identj oversaw construction, and a troop of juniors obeyed his will. The Seniors chose the fifties as their era and Moments to Remember - Class of '79 as their theme. In pig- tails, bobby-sox, leather jackets, and with slick-backed hair, they depicted the memorable caricatures of the times. Working on the float was a lot of fun, We really enjoyed doing it. But we were disappointed when we didn't win, Sue Doucette and Wendy God- frey agreed. For the first time, the judges tied their decision and gave one hundred twenty-eight points to both the Senior and junior entries. A last minute, final decision broke the tie and the juniors were declared the winners. 14 HOMECOMING fAbovej Matt Damon t53j, Nick Stogliano gasp, and Todd Lawrence hold O'Neill back during the first quarter of the Homecoming game.
