jp- Cory Stringer, Chrissie Greenwood, 1.C. VanCleave, and Brenda Wheelock are enjoying a private joke during the Homecoming Dance's crowning ceremony. Poudre's jazz Band entertained the crowd during a relatively calm spell at the Homecoming pep assembly. City In the Clouds was the theme for 1987 Homecoming, and many stu- dents' heads were indeed in the clouds as the events of the week unfolded. The first taste of success came with the Homecoming football game against Front Range League rival Northglenn, in which Poudre tri- umphed, 32-O. Marty Vigil ran for two touchdowns in addition to indi- vidual touchdowns by Joe Griess, Tim Griesmann, and Vince Lucero. Both the defense and the offense were mas- terful, and these gave a hint of the team's success to come. However, what mattered to the huge, raucous crowd was that there had been a ma- jor whipping - and it put everyone in a great mood for the week's events to come. An event which was skipped last year but was a great reminder of years past was the bonfire. lt was originally can- celled due to lack of fuel and interest, but an all-day scramble the day of the bonfire resulted in a mass of donated wood and a large crowd. All gathered near Hughes Stadium after dark, en- joyed the warmth, and cheered. All in all, it was an admirable effort on the part of the students and a great re- minder of years past. Students showed even more spirit during the next day's pep assembly, which featured cheers, skits, music, and the recognition of this year's Honor Alum: our own jer- ry Hubka. Of course, the week also included dancing, and a lot of it. Friday night was a toga-style sock hop. Saturday night was the big one - the Home- coming Dance. It featured the crown- ing of this year's royalty: Greg Stoll and Keena Miller for sophomores, Cory Stringer and Chrissie Green- wood for juniors, and J.C. VanCleave and Brenda Wheelock for seniors. The decorations were beautiful and mysterious, designed to look like a mythical city in the clouds. Not for several years had Homecom- ing week had so much spirit, excite- ment, and fun. It set a precedent for many years to come and created memories which many at Poudre will remember always.

- Beatrice Sanchez, Sue Brown, Olga POL DRE GETS DOWN A SU-shelf and C-A. Erickson made the Oasis Saloon a great little SUNDOW 2 'i e' For you ladies out there, this dance was the perfect opportunity to ask that special guy to dance! For the guys, it was a temporary rest from the nervousness of having to ask a girl to dance! FBLA was kind enough to let the roles be reversed, but only for one night . . . sorry guys. MORP, or prom spelled backwards, was sponsored by FBLA with a country western theme. MORP was held early this January and was met with the quiet reserve and sophistication of a good ol' honky-tonk! Everyone really got into the swing of things. There was the Oasis Saloon, where you could get something cool to drink and just take time out, a marrige booth, and of course the traditional roll in the hay I mean pictures taken in a hay setting FBLA went to a lot of work to make sure that this dance would be one to remember, and that everyone would have fun r-rf Ken Nelson and Rachel Marquart really luv country swing Justin Macklin and Shannon Payton are so happy togetherl' 1 ' ll ll ' li if , I f lf 'I 9 ,ix w ' 1 , ' l ..
