A A A A Candidates share their feelings about the honer of being selected TIME TO REMEMBER A A A A A A I A A A A A A J Autumn brought a carnival of excitement to the homecom- ing festivities. Football, mums, the Bronc Bomber, a carnival, a parade, the traditional foot- ball game, and the homecom- ing dance filled the day and night with an air of excite- ment. The selection of a B-Day kingand queen highlighted the homecoming celebration and dance for both students and candidates. When i found out I had been nominated, the first thing I did was call my mom, senior Karen Simonich said. The excitement I felt was something I cannot express in words. To be selected by your classmates is an honor. Students really do care and appreciate the hard work that many seniors put into Senior High, senior David Quiroz said. Royalty gave many of the B-Day festivities a touch of class. The candidates were proudly presented by horsedrawn carriages to the student body and some par- ents during the afternoon par- ade and to the the homecom- ing game’s crowd during halftime that evening. The most memorable ex- perience for me was riding around in the carriage, senior Erika Boggio said. CARRIED AWAY. Homecoming Royalty travels in style during the B-Day parade.

There seemed to be a spe- cial closeness between all of us, senior Jenny Oakley said. Being one of the only infor- mal royalty dances, the candi- dates dress consisted of casual attire. Many wore slacks or blue jeans and sweaters. It was nice to be able to relax and dress casually. You did not have to worry about all the formal attire, senior Becky Gilbert said. While 10 seniors waited anxiously for the announce- ment of the king and queen, others relaxed and danced to the music provided byZ97.
