Cheryl English PARKS ARE GONNA FLY tart to finish, the 1985 Homecoming was total excitement. Ask anyone who was involved in the activities and they will tell you there was never a dull momenti The theme for the week was CELEBRATE”. Monday was Intellect Day, and quite a few people dressed up as intellects”. Tuesday saw the appearance of everyone’s favorite summer apparrels. Everything from jams and sunglasses to leis and sunscreens on the noses. But then again what would you expect on Hawaiian Day? Wednesday was a day for everyone to go back to their carefree days of nursery school, with people dressing up for Little Kid Lunch Pail Day. Thursday was when everyone put on the ritz. After all. it was Dress-Up Dayl And finally, to clinch a whole week of school spirit, people dressed up in the school colors for Red 8 White Dayl 30 Homecoming Thursday night was when the bonfire and pep rally were scheduled for. But, due to the bad weather, the bonfire was cancelled and the pep rally was moved into the girls gym. Friday was when the excitement really started to build upl The Student Council got their hands on a wrecked car for everyone to beat on with a sledge hammer during their lunch. But Friday night was the true test of school spirit, and we passed with flying colors! Over 3, 000 people attended the Varsity football game that night. But before the game started, the Homecoming Queen was announced. The lucky lady was Kelly Lynn, escorted by Kelly Reinsmith. The Mighty Bees toyed all night with the Utica Notre Dame Jugglers. The score at half-time was 6-0 in favor of the Bees. The final score was 14-8 with the victory going to the Mighty Bees. The winning touchdown was scored by Matt Virginia, on a 50 yd. run. By then the Jugglers knew it was too latel This victory virtually assured the Bees with a place in the Class A play-offs at the Carrier Dome, and made them league champsl This year’s Homecoming was possibly one of the best ever in all recorded history of Baldwinsville. The reasons for the great success of the 1985 Homecoming were: the enthusiasm of the school (both the faculty and the students), the support of the community and the Varsity football team’s great win over the Utica Notre Dame Jugglers! Take a look at how fast and furious the Mighty Bees were the night of Homecomingll The runners-up and the queen and her court, from left to right: Gina Pompo.

'ville you that when one thinks of ll, he doesn’t think excitements' :.; hen one thinks of a football he thinks of SPIRIT.”B I eryone needs activities and fun to keep them going through the year. Red and White, smiling faces, and pep rallies are what we'see when we are all getting psyched for a big game. The cheerleaders and Buzzy” are both a big part of all the spirit. Cammy Cook defined spirit as, Getting psyched and cheering on the team.” The spirit isn’t ail from the fans, but from the players themselves, along with help from the cheerleaders. One thing they do to get psyched is decorate lockers with signs and balloons. Becky Therrien shows her school spirit by, Wearing red and white anH rho »rino rtn tho tMm tn victory. Spirit Week, which falls the week before Homecoming, is always fun filled and exciting. It always brings out a variety of different personalities in everyone. During the pep rallies, Mr. Coleman really gets in the swing of things. He gets everyone yelling, and screaming, and rowdy, as well as himself. On dress up day we see lots of spiffed-up” guys that you usually wouldn’t recognize, along with the girls that don’t look too bad themselves. Jody Golden thinks there is more spirit this year than last because, The kids this year are more alive.” Spirit is something that everyone should have, no matter what the event or situation. It’s good to be rowdy and let out all of those wild emotions. Just forget all of your problems and have a great time! The cheerleaders raise our spirits as easily as they can raise a pyramid. The most spirited character in the school is Buzzy the Bee. but we never know who he she is. Spirit J.9
