A Week Of Thrill And Excitement The homecoming week of 1980-81 held excite- ment for everyone. The students in grades 7-12 began working on the floats early in the week. At school the students had fun by having a Hat Day and an Orange and Black Day as part of the home- coming week festivities. As the week progressed anticipation for Friday’s activities mounted. The student council decorated the stage in greens and yellows in preparation for Thursday’s Coronation. Brenda Alberts and Jim Heidelberger were crowned 1980-81 Hurkota Days Royalty.
