Andy Petrovich and Steve Ponke proudly give warm hugs to Chris Castiglione and Sandy Placencia after the girls were announced as co-queens. A bit of excitement is evident, as Sandy Placencia receives her crown from alumni representative, Mrs. Murray. Mrs. Murray was on the court in 1966. The class of 66 was honored at the game. Leslie Bieke, queen from 1985 crowned Chris Castiglione. T wo queens - leads to memorable Homecoming Traditionally, Homecoming began much like other years. There was a drum roll to introduce each member of the court, parents presented flowers and the seniors were announced as winners of the Spirit Jug. Then the queen decision. As each of the seniors quietly held her breath, Mr. Gilbreath made a surpise an- nouncement ... there had been a tie. Chris Castiglione and Sandy Placencia were announced as queens. Applause burst from the stands as the girls were crowned. Chris stated: “I was in shock, my mouth was hanging open and I thought I was going to faint.” Sandy said, “I was really happy and surprised. It made my whole senior year.” As the sun shined on one of the few rainless days of the fall, the girls marched off the field to the click of dozens of cameras. Later that evening, the dance was held at the gym with a capacity crowd en- joying the tunes of d.j. Kevin Fenton. The entire week ended on positive notes. Total shock and suprise is evident as Andy Petrovich and Chris Castiglione react to Mr. Gilbreath ' s announcement. Seniors do it again! Leonard Pascoe proudly holds the spirit jug for the class. Leonard, as class vice president, accepted the jug as class president Kit Raymond was a member of the court. H omecoming - 17

F un and excitement roars through crowd at annual yearbook assembly Looking to create enthusiasm for the 1986 yearbook and provide a fun afternoon, the yearbook staff sponsored their fourth annual yearbook assembly on November 7. In addi- tion to the entire hour being devoted to fun and games, four yearbooks were raffled and each participant in a game re- ceived bonuses from free name stamps to money deductions on their yearbooks. As the assembly began four people were called to sit on blocks of ice. Samantha Baker said, “I was embarrassed when they first called me down, but after a few minutes, I didn ' t care. However, it was very cold. Pop guzzling kept the crowd on it’s feet. Brian Lonergan said: All I could think of was guzzling it down. Pie eating remains a sticky favorite. The pies were a little unappealing as during the day, they melted into chocolate messes. By the end with each class screaming for victory, the an- nual tug of war continued. Throughout the years, the tug of war has become a high point of each assembly. It becomes a point of honor to be on the tug of war team and pull your team to victory. As Scott Schumacher stated, I participated in the assembly to help my class win. Sticky pop running down their faces didn ' t matter for Brian Lonergan and Mike Brockley, who were eager to win points for their class. 18 - Yearbook Assembly
