Shazaam last night of float was exciting because it was really neat seeing the head of our first float going on, ” sophomore Shawn Barsic front of the whole student body,” stated Andrea. Kristin was crowned queen. The final verdict of the win- ning float echoed over the speakers. Sophomores’ Digg- ’em finished in third place, the juniors’ Scrubbing Bubbles fin- ished second, and the seniors triumphantly captured first place with Strawberry Quick Rabbit as the character. The announcement of the sophomores winning the Spir- it Award lifted the sopho- mores’ enthusiasm back up. The excitement died down as the scoreboard displayed the final story — Visitors 2 1 , Home 14. Saturday night continued the festivities as students be- gan arriving at the dance with their dancing shoes on. “The Homecoming dance was the very first high school dance that I went to and it was a nice way to start off the year,” mentioned freshman Nick Autry. After hurrying to accom- plish the many activities in such a very short period of time, the student body slowed down to the normal pace, until the annual Homecoming events arrive again. Until next year, the time in between will be spent trying to create new themes, raising money and looking for possi- ble new Homecoming dates for 1986!
