igh school students are just old ids. So when Homecoming rolls rouind, they can't resist playing HOW AND ELL. -Well, Timothy? Where's your how-and-tell obiect? -Uhh, it's kind of big, ma'am. Perhaps as one grows bigger, so do one's toys. At least, that is the impression one received amidst all the hoopla surrounding Homecoming. Forget about dolls and model cars, this game was played on a higher level. This year, as always, the four Islander classes strutted their stuff in a public showing of floats. The annual parade through downtown Mercer Island celebrated the creativity and enthusiasm of high school students. Not all fun and games, however, the construction of these masterpieces required the labor of a multitude of dedicated Islanders. From designers, to workers, to the lone kids who stood in the rain to direct traffic, the theme of 'lSouth Pacific received many a helping hand in its realization. For spectators, the Homecoming Parade also offered a wide range of entertainment, including the MIHS cheerleaders and drill team, as well as the extremely large and extremely loud band. The high school showed the skill of its students in a true parade of pride. To tell of the same, the Class of '86 staged the ultimate game, the Senior Skit. A controversial subject, the show took place as a result of Senior Class Advisor Mr. Jim Cullen's aid, strenuous negotiation, and the hard practice of students. The skit consisted of three acts, all to the tune of a live band led by the exciting keyboards of l-l.B. Radke. The first told of girls who lust wanted to wash those guys right out of ltheiri hair. The second told of natives attacking from the jungle, and the third told of boys who ain't got domes. Games can sure tell a lot. And show. And even celebrate a few things along the way. fm 'Wm 'wg Mr. Cullen makes sure the buck stops here at the Senior skit practice. Neptune, the God of the sea, is impersonated by V.K.
