Class Council, Student Council, the Administration, and all the student body have been getting ready for the Homecoming '87 weekend since the beginning of the school year. The highlights of the weekend include the carnival, f>ep rally, parade, football game, and the dance. Tlie carnival will be held in the Field House tonight from 6 to 9 pm. There will be a variety of games and booths, including the dunk tank, the piein-lhe-face game, and the potato-sack race. Lots of food will also be sold by various organizations. Cotton candy, pizza, hot dogs, Italian ice, and ice cream are all on the menu. This year's opponent for the Homecoming football game is Maine East. The game will begin at 12 pm. To obtain the right mood for the big game. Pep Council is sponsoring a pep rally Friday night immediately following the carnival. At the pep rally, the cheerleaders and the football players will try to boost the school spirit for the rest of the weekend. Following that, there will be the symbolic MS Bum. The parade will march down Belle Plaine and all through uptown on Saturday, leaving Maine South at 10 am from the back parking lot. Different clubs and organizations such as Hawkettes, Marching Band, Cheerleaders, the Administration, last year's Homecoming Queen, and this year's queen candidates will march in the parade. The Grand Marshall is Mr. Hopkins, the varsity football coach, who will hopefully lead his team and the parade to victory. The dance, sponsored by the Senior Class Council, is named "Light My Fire," and the theme song is "Finer Things" by Steve Windwood. This year, a DJ will replace the usual rock band. The dance begins at 8 pm and ends at 11 pm. However, no one will be admitted after 9 pm, and tickets will not be sold at the door. The Senior Class Coimcil hopes that the much later date of Homecoming will generate more enthusiasm and better attendance at 5ie dance. Homecoming is a single weekend filled with many exciting events. Much hard work and time have been put into this weekend. Everyone is encouraged to join in the festivities. Homecoming '87 is a time to remember, a time to enjoy.
