Everybody loves a parade, especial ly San Gorgonio ' s Homecoming parade, which was held October 22, 1982. The participants stepped off from the Highland Congregational Church at the corner of Palm and Atlantic at 3:30 pm. Judges, Grand Marshalls, Homecoming candidates, floats, and lots of students prepared for their route to their Alma Mater. To the disappointment of many, on- ly three floats entered — Aqua Athletics, the sophomores, and the freshmen. The reason for the absence of the senior and junior floats was because of an old tradition. Seniors destroyed the junior float and the juniors sought revenge. After the hard work of many, these two floats were demolished beyond repair. It didn ' t matter though, because both were dis- qualified after the catastrophe was heard about on campus. Float awards were given. The sophomores received first place, Aqua Athletics took second honors and the freshmen float came in third. All the preparations for the Our Future Fantasy ' ' Homecoming parade were under the direction of Student Council members and headed by Jan- et Hobbs, treasurer of Student Council. The parade went really well this year. The participants were en- thusiastic and cooperative. People in the community even got involved by watching from their porches along the parade route and responding with applause. Coach Stockham felt it was one of the most organized and successful parades in many years. 78 student life

Fireworks proclaim Raylene Urena new queen Votes for Homecoming Queen were cast after a large list of nominees, sponsored by various clubs was narrowed down to ten can- didates. An assembly was held and candidates were escorted around the gym floor so the student body could get a look at their favorites. For those who wished to elect a queen, they went to the student council room where voting booths were set up. The winner was kept secret from the student body until halftime of the football game. The atmosphere was high because no one was definite about who the winner might be. Candidates and their fathers appeared before the crowd dressed appropriately for the oc- ca sion. Second runner up was an- nounced — Heather Shulte; first runner up — Felecia Dodson . . . and the winner of San Gorgonio High School ' s 1982 Homecoming Queen honors went to Raylene Urena. Everything was so confused. Everybody hugged me. They were telling me, ' Raylene, look at your name, look up, ' I didn ' t know what was going on. Her honor was celebrated by fireworks and her name lit up on the sidelines. This event was one that will be treasured by the candidates. Each will remember how exciting and how frightening it was to walk down the red carpeted isle, on the fifty-yard line, all dressed up, in front of a large crowd. 80 student life
