September 30, l986, it all began for the students of Kearney High School. The week of Homecoming was upon us. Some would experience the sweetness of victory and others the agony of defeat. Gossip would float about for five days on the latest stats telling us who was ahead during the class competitions. Homecoming is a special time for sen- iors but especially for those who are athleti- cally involved, said Glenda A ylward. Throughout these five days, the stu- dents were busy working on door decora- tions, floats, dress-up days and practices for the pep rally. Dominating the events were the underclassmen, leaving the upperclass- men in the dust. They also ruled in the float competition. ' Spirit was at its all time high for the pep rally. Due to untimely circumstances, 'the traditional gathering at the football field was relocated to the gym. We had our share, and then some, of rain. Nonetheless, the events went off in good order, with upper- classmen in the lead this time. The students' attire was old jeans and T-shirts spray- painted with their graduating year. Or, in the case of our beloved juniors, a big Oh Yeah , one of their favorite slogans. Also, for a twist to our events, a girls tug-of-war was held with the senior girls winning. The annual senior whitewash was cancelled, Dknumni ff... ,'7 'lllllnvumnaqpmn - ........-.,, leaving behind several disappointed seniors. I felt an important tradition was broken by not letting the Seniors white- wash, said Janet Hayes. But since they were seniors, they quickly solved their problem. Their solution. . .go four- wheeling! Along with all the other events, roy- alty was chosen. The candidates this year were: Freshmen Princess. Jennifer Vaughn Sophomore Princess. Cheryl Hayes Junior Princess: Tiffany Murphy Queen Candidate: Julie Buckley Queen Candidate: Sigrid Ferguson Queen Candidate. Joey Williams The crown was given to Miss Joey Williams. Even though the rain continued, the court reigned beautifully. The close of our Homecoming came with the dance, bringing an end to another fun-filled Homecoming. Nathan Arm- strong said, Homecoming was a very ex- citing experience and I 've got three more to look forward to! 4' w X Cheryl Hayes and Jennifer Vaughan ride along in the homecoming parade.

Murder in our O O O Henry Meadowbrook is dead. Was it suicide? No, Most likely it was . . . murderl So began the fall produc- tion of Paul Freed 's Death by Chocolate. The evening was filled with allusions as to Who dunnit and how. New twists were added as two more characters were knocked off by the unknown killer. Could it be the so- phisticated Lady Riverdale Cplayed by senior Amy Duffj ? or perhaps it was the beautiful, but nosy, report- er from Elite magazine. I thought the butler did it, said senior Sabra Greason. lt's always the butler. During intermission, the guests of the Second An- nual Dinner Theater were able to make their guesses and participate in a drawing. The winner was an- nounced after the play's conclusion. A The play pro ved to be quite an experience for the cast. A couple of scenes had to be carefully choreogra- phed in order to give the desired comic effect. The hardest part for me was trying not to laugh on stage during the performances, said senior Melinda Lein C who played the reporter, Margaret Daniels Q. Director Barbara .lewell claimed the most exciting part . . . was the final performance. The cast was ad-libbing much more and it was a lot of fun to watch. Six weeks of rehearsals paid off. It was difficult to work around the busy schedules of the cast mem- bers, said Jewell. lt was more organized than past productions because the cast wasn 't running around getting furniture at the last minute, said senior Brad Musgrove. We had prop committees that were in charge of organization, so I had more time to concen- trate on my character. Eventually, the mystery was solved and the cur- tain closed.
