SPIRIT WEEK MEMORIES OF A HAPPY HOMECOMIMG I Homecoming got off to a ■shakey start in 1983. Due to the ■fact that no posters were hung on fthe wails announcing Spirit Weetc, it seemed a surprise to many stu- dents on Monday in school to find (Some people with their clothes on backwards. However after a somewhat unstable beginning, (Homecoming turned out to be a great week. Besides Spirit Week, there was lalso a Pep Rally held to encourage ithe Homecoming spirit. The ISophomores pulled off an as- tounding victory during the class compeitions, obtaining the infa- fmous Spirit Jug. Tim Brunick, President of the Sophomore class, commented, 1 think that Homecoming was a big success. 1 was very proud of the whole ischool, especially the Sopho- jmore class, for exhibiting such school spirit. A Masqurade Ball was held in the cafeteria, which was attended by many people dressed in vari- ous costumes. David Andrews and Ted Yoder were awarded The Best Dressed Couple . Ted Yoder commented, It was pretty fun, it seems everyone had a good time. The Homecoming football game had a large turnout, unfor- tunately the Falcons were de- feated by the Kellam Knights During the halftime, Beverly Kidd was crowned as the Cox Home- coming Queen. Shortly after- wards Beverly was quoted as saying, 1 was shocked. All in all. Homecoming '83 turned out considerably well. Smith Cubine summed it all up by saying, Even though we did not win our football game, it was still a great Homecoming. The Homecoming theme brought many clever ideas for costumes. Ted Yoder and David Andrews won the costume contest for the best dressed couple. Dressing in various costumes at the Home- coming Masquerade dance, Rachel Atkin- son, Claye Conkwright, Kitty Myugen, Camilie Davis, Eva Kapos, and Jon Waite proudly display their diversity.
