Final preparations for Homecoming, sponsored by Student Council, will start this afternoon at 3:45 p.m. in the D‑wing garage. All four classes and various clubs will build floats and decorate cars for the parade on Thursday, Oct. 2. All interested should come to help their class. The theme this year is "May the West Man Win."

On Monday, Sept. 29, the Freshman Class will assemble in the auditorium for homeroom to elect the queen. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors will assemble Sept. 30, Oct. 1, and Oct. 2 respectively. The Homecoming Court, all seniors, from which the queen is chosen, is composed of Karen Andriuzzo, Caron Bolman, Julie Claus, Carole Kale, Jody Mihelcich, Louise Pontarelli, Kathy Schachte, Sandy Schellenberger, and Jane Wyatt.

On Thursday, Oct. 2, the parade will leave the Maine West drive at 6 p.m. The route is the drive to Howard, Lee, Ellinwood, Pearson, back to Lee, Howard, and the MW drive ending at 6:30.

The Pep Rally will follow from 7:30 until 9 in the football stadium. During the rally the queen will be announced, the Pep Band will play, and Margie Clem '77 will perform a fire act. More entertainment is a guest speaker and two tugs of war between the four classes called "ton of war." For the finale there will be fireworks.

The Homecoming football game will be at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3, in the stadium. The sophomore game will be at 6. Between the games the floats will be displayed, and the best float will be announced by the judges. During halftime the band will play as the Cheerleaders and Pom Pon girls perform.

The dance is on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 8 until 11 p.m. in the auditorium. The theme is "Stars Forever"; and the colors are blue, red, and white.

Halfway through the dance the queen will be crowned and one dance will be in the court's honor.

One senior was overheard saying, "My last Homecoming is my best; too bad I don't have anyone to go with."
