This important event was preced- ed by a week loaded with an abundance of spirit. Students enjoyed class competi- tions, dress-up days, music and activities at lunchtime, and a Spirit Nite with a sen- ior slave auction as just some of the fes- tivities for the week. A bonfire was also held on Spirit Nite to spark excitement for the game. Following the week of celebration was the victorious homecoming football game against Corona del Sol. The Marcos de Niza Padres defeated the Corona Aztecs with a score of 16 to O. During halftime, the new 1987 Homecoming King and Queen were announced to an anxious crowd. Students celebrated their victory at a special homecoming dance following the football game. The theme, Helplessly in Love, was chosen for this eventful an- nual dance. The unity, the fun, the spirit . . . that is what made Marcos de Niza's 1987 Home- coming activities among the most memo- rable events of the year.

The Mar- cos de Niza Bomber Squad T-shirts, sold the previous year, were worn by students at all ofthe football games to show sup- port for their team. Anti-Charger buttons were also a big hit with the students dur- ing football season. At the Homecoming 1987 football game, yellow balloons were sold to be let loose at half-time. Pom pons and megaphones were also special sou- venirs which students used to express their excitement. During Homecoming Week, many differ- ent activities were held at lunch. Rapping contests, Jock Day, and live bands cap- tured the students' attention. ln addition to the daytime activities, there was also Spirit Nite in which senior slaves could be bought for use on the following day. Spirit at Marcos de Niza this year was a great success! It is up to the students to make it just that. To be the best we showed Padre Pride! Student Life - 17

These outstanding students were nomi- nated by faculty members because of their leadership and participation in such activities as cheer, pom pon, volleyball, softball, football, basketball, and student council, to name a few. Introduced during the traditional Homecoming assembly, the student body, in a student council-run election, chose the winners. The excite- ment continued into the homecoming night when students attended the dance which featured a live d.j. Above: Brad DeVar and Sharon Crawley were two of the twelve candidates for Homecoming.
