— Dress It Up — Adding some spice to Homecoming Week Crazy scenes of every kind occurred during the week of Homecoming 1985. Whether it was seeing Rusty Scherer fall- ing at four-corners, Mr. Brian Burns parading around in his fa- vorite pajamas, or Ian Korman jamming in the halls on his saxophone with the “Pee-Wee Herman” theme song, everyone enjoyed the fun. Dress Up Days initiated the feeling and excitement of Homecoming in the halls. “Hat- Tie-and Glasses Day” started the week off on the right foot. It was followed by “A Day In The Tropics,” the ever-popular “Nerd Day,” “Pajama Day,” and the traditional “Red and Black Day.” Another important factor of Homecoming was the class sponsors. They were Mrs. Becky Schmidt and Mr. Rich- ard Hamilton for the freshmen; Mrs. Carol Edwards and Ms. Christi Papes for the sopho- mores; Mr. Ben Armstrong and Mr. Ray Davis for the juniors; and Mr. Bums and Mr. Robert Currie for the seniors. Mrs. Edwards confessed, “I had a lot of fun this year, but I'm not sure I’d do it again because of the time commitment.” Work- ing on the lawn display alone took between 35 and 45 hours, not to mention the events on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully, the sponsors know that all of the students appreciate their hard work and dedication. The final event that made HATS ON! Lisa Turner, Michclc Pick- etts, Barb Stone, and Tyson Strand show class spirit by wearing some of their favorite accessories. They are just a few of the students who participated in “Hat-Tic-and Glasses Day during Homecoming Week. Photo by Elinor Marsh 12 HOMECOMING BEFORE THE FA LI.. A rare glance at Rusty Scherer just moments away from the fall that made him feel proud to be a nerd. Photo by Mrs. G. Wheeler this year’s homecoming special was the crowning of the King and Queen, Scott Kibler and Sandi Overhiser. Both of them felt extremely honored to be chosen by their peers to repre- sent Marshall High School. When Sandi first heard her name announced, she didn’t know what to do. “I wondered if I was hearing things or if it was really true.” Scott simply couldn't believe it. “It was just great!” he exclaimed. From the beginning, the stu- dent body knew this Homecom- ing was going to be a special one. Although the individual classes competed against each other during the week, it would be impossible to ignore the uni- tv of MHS as a whole.
