The judges look for originality, creativity, use of materials, and definition of the overall Homecoming theme. The senior lawn display captured these qualities, and they were rewarded with a first place finish. Photo by Bryndis Lctzring Rising Spirit— tudents unite during Homecoming Spirit and school unity were growing during each day of Homecoming week. This was evident in the outstanding par- ticipation of the entire student body in the pep assemblies, dress up days, and class cheers. “Rain Rain Go Away could have been the theme for Thurs- day nights events, but even the bad weather couldn’t dampen student spirit. “I liked having the events inside because it sort of brought ev- eryone together and made things more ex- citing,” said Senior Kathie Brobst. Some of the highlights of Thursday night included the Freshmans’ extremely slow class cheer and the tug of war between classes. In the end, the seniors were ahead by twenty four points, and everyone was looking forward to Friday. Friday proved to be a great ending for an exciting week with the weather clearing for a beautiful day. “I couldn’t be- lieve that the rain cleared for Friday, but it poured on Thurs- day and Saturday. It was like a miracle, commented Elinor Marsh. The pep assembly was very competitive, as the sopho- mores and freshmen continu- ously battled for third place. Donations for the United Fund went forty dollars over the projected goal, and the fresh- men gave a penny more than the seniors for an important win. After two hours of competi- tion, the seniors were still ahead, and most of the students proceeded to help assemble their lawn displays. After the fi- nal judging of the lawn displays, the seniors won overall with a total of 131 points. The juniors ended with 98 points, the sopho- mores obtained 81 points, and the freshmen took a last place with 75 points. The game started at 7:30 with the procession of the Homecoming Court members to their place at the front of the stands. The bleachers were full of excited Marshall fans, who enjoyed a great game and an outstanding half time. The band provided an excellent show featuring miniature baton twirlers, the middle school band, and a selection of songs from the senior band members. In the end, the Redskins pre- vailed against Coldwatcr with a 27 to 6 victory. A dance sponsored by the cheerleaders after the game was the grand finale of Home- coming. It featured the North- ern Lights and a special dance for the court members. Overall, Homecoming was a great success. It brought the en- tire student body together and provided a break in the mono- tony of the first quarter. “I always look forward to Homecoming because it makes everyone become more involved in school activities, remarked Junior Stacey Ambs. Now that Homecoming '85 is over, the students of MHS can look for- ward to an exciting year. 14 HOMECOMING
