Alumni Lured Back “Now and Then,” behind the scenes . . . Homecoming created new characters and recreated old memories. As students participated in the dress-up days, alumni were digging through trunks to find old letter sweaters, band uniforms and obsolete football gear. Some of these were worn by alumni on the juniors float. Dress-up days offered the school characters a chance to become, on Monday, a tourist, on Tuesday, a twin, and on Wednesday, a mourner for the Camp Verde Cowboys. Many assorted characters roamed the halls on Thursday and Friday was Spirit Day — when orange and black reigned supreme. The honored royalty, representing each class, were chosen through student body elections. The underclass nobility and King and Queen candidates were announced early in the week. The half-time activities at the evening football game included the marching band, the cheerleaders’ routine and the announcement of top point winner in Homecoming competitions. The Homecoming King and Queen, Joey Martinez and Debbie Riemer, were crowned at the post-game party, and then danced with their attendants. Thad Hansen 'Prays' for a senior win. Mrs. Debbie Brown and Mr. Dan Ayub get into the spirit of the homecoming week by dressing as their favorite characters. ▼ Asked “Was being picked King important to you? the response from Joey Martinez was, Yes, I think it was an accomplishment anyone would like, but most of all it meant a lot to my parents.” Nervousness was not apparent among the royalty, but when asked what was the most amusing event of the week. Queen Debbie Riemer replied, Singing ‘Oh Williams High School' over and over with Tammie to try and calm our nerves. spotlight Dedicatee Honored with Signed Game Bail John Lewandowski was presented the game ball by the Vikings after they had beaten Camp Verde 29 to 0. John had been injured the week before in the Joseph City game. “Duck,” as his teammates affectionately call him, had been the only Viking to miss a game this year to date because of an injury. John never missed a practice despite his injury. He remained an inspiration to the rest of the players. John has lettered in football three years and has earned his black helmet by being an accomplished weight lifter. Because of the injury to his neck, we now refer to our neck exercises in the weight room as DOWSKIS. Coach Richard Hoyt Student Life Homecoming 11
