FS HF? Sr- nn.. 7778'7?lCffl 35-- 1 ff--'Q s W 'Fl 4 es- Q 'E Y' . What a day for a parade! On October 27th with temperatures in the eighties Homecom- ing 1984 was indeed memorable. The 'LSpirit of America was evident in everything, from the Spirit of American Victory to the 'Aspir- it of American competition. As the football team worked hard on their game, each class worked hard on its float. Long hours with paint and plywood were endured in various barns and garages all over Lititz. The Statue of Liberty was flown in from the New York Harbor, Betsy Ross was raised from the dead, along with John Paul Jones, and sand was shipped in from the coast of California. Each class reflected on the history of Amer- ica or some part of American life. The Fresh- man float recreated historical moments: Bet- sy Ross's famous stitchery and an explora- tory space flight. The Sophomore float boasted American apple pie, Benjamin Franklin's high-flying discovery, and the Lady of the harbor. The Junior float sailed smoothly along with actors bravely stating, as John Paul Jones had once done, 'Ll have not yet begun to fight, in reference to the Com- ets. Bikini-clad beauties lounged on the hot American sand adoring the dashing surfers, Surfin USA , the Senior float tied with the Junior float, John Paul Jones , for third place. Second place was attained by the Sophomore float, Hlrlistorical Moments . The Freshman float deservingly captured the first place prize with f'Betsy Rossu. All in all, it was a day to remember!

CATCH TH T WINNING SPIRIT! ctober is the month of colors. Like salmon, the brightly ornamented leaves of the autumnal equi- nox spawn to the ground, covering the green of summer. In towns, cities, and hamlets across America, peo- ple gather for the last chance to congregate out of doors before winter tightens its grip upon the land. Parades, pic- nics, and parties are prevalent, but the Homecoming foot- ball game is the most popular social assemblage. Certainly, the clash that took place between the Warwick Warriors and the Penn Manor Comets on the fourth Saturday of October typifies the Homecoming annual. Grosh Field at Warwick High School was ablaze with harvest time spirit. Adorned with red and black streamers, the gray bleachers remained august amidst the pageantry and spectacle of the game. And because Indian summer was yet lingering, the weather was hot and sunny, drying the multicolor leaves underfoot. The maidens of the Homecom- ing Court smiled and waved as they were chauffeured around the field by the convertibles of summer. Neat and trim, the football field looked as if it were going out on a date. Freshly shaven, every blade of grass was cut to perfection, and the white grid of the field was newly limed by industrious greenskeepers. The throngs of football fans hungrily await- ed the opening kickoff. The game was ready to begin. As the whistle blew, the Penn Manor kicker booted a high, lazy kick that safely landed into the arms of the Warwick returner. Then, the Warwick ball carrier ran into a shower of Comets. But as if invisible, the runner quickly emerged from the pack of opposing players and streaked toward the land of milk and honey, the end zone. He reached the coveted ground and held the ball up triumphantly as his teammates smothered him with joy. The tone of electrifying football was set and the gleeful fans settled in, luxuriating in the fervor. But the opposing team was not to be daunted. After trailing six to nothing, the redoubtable Penn Manor team struck gold with a punt return for a touchdown. The Comet runner eluded the Warwick defense for fifty years, taking the taste of victory away from the Warrior fans. However, just before halftime, the Warwick quarterback slipped into Top: Here come the Warriors! Center: Hold those Comets! Bottom: Sideline Showoffs!
