THAT WAS THEN THIS I5 NOW During homecoming, the school spirit livens, pulling many students out of their boring routines and into a fun-filled week of octivies. The activities started with the corona- rion oud. Laurie Little inherited the crown this year, becoming the 1986 Homecoming Queen in a close contest. All week the homecoming octivities fought against foul weother, and os o result, Power Puff football was cancelled, as well as the bonfire. Although the bonfire was smothered by the rain, school spirit was not. When Sot- urday arrived, spirits were as high as ever. Led by the queen and her court, Ioyol red and white fans filled the stadium. One couldn't ask for o more exciting game which unfortunately ended in on Assump- tion victory. The game, which started at 1:30 and extended into double overtime, left lit- tle time to prepare for the climax of the week - the dance. Homecoming night let loose hundreds of West High students into the fine restau- rants around the Quad-Cities, and then to the dance. The dance, led by the band CenterfoId, was o success ogoin this yeor. The rest of the night was enjoyable for most everyone. -Mitchell Knutson JUST HOWMANY people can you fir in a sleeping bag?

Hickenbottoml Gala started when the girls picked up their dates and got some pictures taken, Then most people went out to eat at the finer restaurants such as the Dock, Shogun, or Jumer's. The next stop was the dance. With the band, Avatar, providing the music, everyone enjoyed dancing. About half way through the dance, the crowning of the Gala King took place. Scott Ryan was chosen by West High girls as Gala King. Outside the dance in the cafeteria, many people got refreshments, and socialized with finely dressed people waiting to get their pictures taken. Then, slowly the crowd at the dance filtered out to go to after Gala activities. These activities in- volved golng to movies, or swimming and enjoying the luxuries at a hotel. To most people, after the dance is where the most fun began. All in being a switch from the tradi- tional guy ask girl dance, Gala was a fun time. Hopefully this dance will be a time to remember for a long time. -Mitchell Knutson
