When pressed into our mental scrap- book of images to be recalled on snowy nights and rainy afternoons. Homecom- ing memories necessitate no further comment than a gentle nod of the head and a warming smile . . . The Juniors with their frequent and welcome interruptions of class to sell suckers, seemed to always find someone asking where all the rootbeers had gone Teachers consoled themselves with the axiom, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as students dressed up like teachers in honor of spirit week . . . The seniors finally breaking the tradition, beat the Juniors 16-8 in the Powder Puff Football game. The fledgling 1-2-3 wheel race, where contestants were rewarded for speed and grace, was a fantastic success . . . The Disco Dance was the most successful of all Homecoming activities. These were the most memorable moments of Homecoming. Those which will surely linger as long as someone is around who was here. But perhaps the most memorable moments lie not in those announced with trumpets and fan- fare, but the quiet moment shared dur- ing the slow dance, the reunion of two graduates. There in, it seems, lies the purpose of this annual event, to bring people together — to bring them home. Here, one might recall the moment when the balloons were released at halftime. Like the alumni were, like we will be, the balloons were cast off amid pomp and circumstance, some rising higher, going faster and farther, but all — maybe not here, not in this place — will once again touch earth for a moment, indeed — come home. But then, up will come another gust of wind, blowing the sphere on its way once again. Will the real Mr. Peters please sit down? Mr. Peters IS shown here congratulating Eric Stoops on his fine choice of teachers to imitate. The voice of victory echoes across the stadium as Kelly Geren, in shotgun formation, shouts signals to her center. Huddling together during a timeout the Srs. plot their deadly strategy against the traditional victori- ous Juniors.

At this last command a lone figure wearing shorts and clutching binoculars entered stage left and shouted frantically in the direction of stage right — You shameful little mouse! You scared these ladies to DEATH! Thus began Wayne ' s fall production of the comedy, The Mouse That Roared which, rather than a mouse roaring, was more like a young calf straining to take its first steps. The calf, comprised mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores, was hind- ered by its lack of experience, but deter- mination and little sleep put the produc- tion on its feet. 28
