§€441 Cf Ilf IIMI If IN€§ Spirit spread as the week dedicated for Homecoming came closer. Dresses were bought, made, or borrowed; and suits that came out from the back of the closet were dusted off and tried on for a last minute fitting. Corsages were ordered, reservations made, and plans drawn up as the dance approached. Then came Spirit Week, filled with the coronation, the pepfest, the game, and finally the dance, bringing the festive week to a close. Homecoming Court was a special one this year. As Sean Collins (12) put it. It was picked not by popularity but by the way people are. These people acted the same all through high school. This makes a special court. The court was very unified and many new friendships were made. As Mary Shulze (12) described her experience on court, she stated, It’s a real honor to be in such a neat group of people. We all became really close, like a family right from the start. Activities brought the court members together almost every day, establishing great friendships and an excellent Homecoming experience. As Thursday afternoon approached, the halls were humming with opinions of who would be king and queen. Angie Dobies (12). a member of court, had her own opinion which many others shared and stated, By the time coronation came around. I realized that every single person on court was a king and queen; each in their own unique and special way. Scott Thorpe (11), Master of Ceremonies, welcomed the enthusiastic crowd to the royal ceremony. Matt Bertram (11) and Lora Aadalen (11) introduced each of the eleven couples. The royal court members were escort- ed in and nervously waited to see what would happen. With a huge hug from the 1986 Homecoming Queen, Katie DeVoe, Charlie Ei-frig (12) was crowned King. After a brief huddle with the boys, Charlie ran over, and after moments of tension and suspense, grabbed a surprised Beth DeVoe (12), crowning her Queen of Edina. The whole court celebrated afterwards during a festive reception in the library put on by Gretchen Nelson (11). Spirit and pride continued the following day during the pepfest. At 2:00 Friday afternoon masses of students and faculty decked in green and white poured excitedly into the gym. With Masters of Ceremony Chris Blum (12) Annie (Continued on page 10) Chris Blum (12) and Annie Emmer (12) lead the pepfest with an exercise. 1987 HOMECOMING COURT: Stephanie Haddad: Scott Rile: Debbie Prince: Bill McDavitt: Katie O'Rourke: Alex Holderness: Heidi Hilliker: Sean Collins; Mary Schulze: Greg Bisson; Queen Beth DeVoe: King Charlie Eifrig: Lesley McBurney: Kcrrwln Dempsey: Angie Dobies: Dean Enrico; Susie Vagnoni: Cully Vaughn: Jenny Moe: Corey Lahm: Andrea Allen: Jon Ebbert.
