George and Mel elected king and queen Being elected as part of the Homecoming Court is a great honor. This could be consid- ered the most treasured moment of one's high school years. It demon- strates the respect and admiration of fellow classmates for those cho- sen. The assembly was at the begin- ning of the week and the student body filled the gym. The suspense grew within these students. This was the day that the king and queen of 1983-84 were to be elected. The first to be announced were the freshmen attendant Becky Bidwell and her escort Bill Dryer. The sophomore class was repre- sented by Natalie Parrish and Greg Machek. The junior attendant and escort were Renee Flynn and Chris Osborn. Jill Maybee and Ron Overhiser were chosen to represent the senior class. Then the king and queen were announced.

Seniors Reign as Homecoming Champs During Homecoming week, Marshall High School was full of pride. The week be- gan on Tuesday because of inservice day on Monday. Many of the students participated in the daily dress up. Tuesday was hat day, Wednesday was impersonate- a-cardinal day, Thursday was cartoon day, and Friday was the traditional red and black day. As the week slowly progressed, the students became more and more excited for Thursday nights' events. They included: the hula hoop contest, the tricycle race, the balloon toss, the frisbee toss, and the tug-of-war. By the end of the night, the seniors had taken the lead. Friday the students piled into the gym for the final competition. These events included: the crutch race, the jellybean toss, the uniform race, the jump rope contest, and the Big Mac eating contest. With each event, the excitement of every person expanded. As the assembly came to an end, the stu- dents built up all the energy they had left, and began the class com- petition cheer. The juniors were victorious in this event, but did not manage to beat the seniors in the overall scoring. The assembly ended with the seniors in first place. They were 25 points ahead of the juniors, who came in second. The sophomores were in third and the freshmen finished fourth. Friday evening, the Coldwater Cardinals were taken by surprise as the Redskins went on to a 17-0 victory. All the fans packed into the home stands and cheered the football players on to a victorious Homecoming. All in all, this year's Homecoming proved to be an ex- citing and eventful one to be remembered. 10
