Float Competition The 1983 Homecoming Parade was a big success. The Wheeler Marching Band led the parade fol- lowed by several floats, and the queen and her court. The seniors won the float competition giving the freshman second place, and sophomores third. Other floats include the junior class float, drama club float, FFA float, and pickups sponsoring football and volleyball players. For the first time since 1973, a class dominated the homecoming float contest all four years. The class of 1984 began this task their freshman year with the float, “Wheel Deliver a Victory.” It was adorned with a large stork. The fol- lowing year the victorious float was a car filled with students. It read, “Wheel Stuff the Eagles.” With amazing luck their junior float won although it didn’t participate in the parade. Its theme was “Wheel Combine Our Efforts and Harvest a Victory.” The highlight of the float was the stubborn combine which would not start. Their senior effort topped them all as they built a self- contained papermache float. It was Winnie the Pooh catching the eye of the audience and waving to them. Congratulations to the class of ’84 for their continued efforts in produc- ing quality floats for the Homecoming parades. This page sponsored by Leo and Donna Kessler. Homecoming Parade 29

John Albertsen Sheila Barron Lesley Boysen Dan Chambers Ronda Christiansen Tom Coyle Clint Hansen Shanell Moreland Corinne Young Michelle Nissen—the victim In 1983 the drama and music de- partments made a change. Rather than having a musical, the sponsors decided to put on a variety show. The show was greeted with great enthusiasm from elementary stu- dents to adults. The show included appearances by many famous individuals such as “Mr. Rogers” and “Edith Anne” in addition to the larger productions in- cluding the one-act play “Games,” Swing Choir .Mime—Jim Shima Kris Jensen Annette McCuen DeEtte Ridgeway .Wendy Layland Michelle Nissen .Kyle Karstens One-Act Play “Oom Pah Pah,” a production num- ber, and a few songs by the swing choir. Many people contributed much ef- fort as well as time to the show, but the general opinion was that it was more than worth the personal sacri- fice. The show was also good in that more people had a chance to show their original talents. Congratulations to the cast of “Fifth Avenue Follies.” 30 Variety Show This page sponsored by Dr. H.T. Barnes.
