Homecoming dazzled by Video DJ Students swarmed into ttie gym tull ot spirit and anticipation for the Capistrano Valley rally. The noisy crowd dimmed to a small roar as Coach Terry Henigan approached the microphone ready to reveal the five Homecoming finalists. As Nancy Bower, Dayna Esko, Alaina Miller, Pam Orton and Rebecca Thomas were announced as members of the 1984 Homecoming Court, screams echoed throughout the gym while the princesses accepted corsages from their waiting escorts. Two weeks later, at the N lission Vie- Jo rally the court participated in a sur- Iprise pie-eating contest held as a spirit booster during Homecoming Week. As each princess raced to devour her cream pie, a victorious hand shot up declaring Nancy Bower the winner. I wasn ' t suprised that I won, said Bower. I have such a big mouth! After four days of spirit activities. Homecoming Week came to an end with the Mission Viejo halftime show. Excitement filled the night air as six convertible Mercedes, each carrying a princess, paraded around the stadium. To enhanced the Disney Days theme, Disney characters pranced between each car. Bringing up the end of the parade was Prince Charming, por- trayed by Kevin Rosenburg, waiting to carry away the soon-to-be queen in a red Ferrari. The envelope please!

Nan- cy Bower, Alaina Miller, Rebecca Thomas and Dayna Esko. s Homecoming Queen is Alaina Miller, said Bill George, the halftime show announcer.

Queen Alaina Miller drove off with Prince Charming amid the cheering of the crowd. I was so happy to be on the court, said Miller, but I was shocked when I heard my name announced as the queen. Wrapping-up Disney Days, was the traditional Homecoming Dance spon- sored by the ASB. Couples entered the IHS ballroom and experienced a new style of the eighties, the Video DJ. The students ' , eyes danced in time with their feet as they viewed the giant video screen. The music was varied to accomodate students with differing tastes. The familiar surroundings, disguised with balloons and streamers, created a warm, enchanting evening for all to enjoy. I ' ve never seen so many people dancing and having a good time, said Senior Lisa Glenn. The Video DJ was the best idea for Irvine dances. Homecoming was so exciting, said Shelli Cox. I ' m only sorry that the festivities come only once a year. — by Karen Beery and Jennifer Pederson B e. V EP H IIP 1 f MM w ii Albert and James Albert and James 14 Homecoming Dance
