Accepting her honor, Monica Garza—a court member, smiling at the crowd and her boyfriend gladly received her crown from Candy Cole. Parading in the rain, the court members slowly make their way around the football field on homecoming. 12 Homecoming A Fairytale (cont.) “Tall for once!” exclaimed 5’1” ju¬ nior Veronica Gonzalez, who sat on her friend’s shoulders in order to see the happenings at the fire. “It gave us all a feelings of togetherness and school spirit. It was great!” Finally September 22, was the day designated to meet the rivals, the en¬ tire kingdom dressed in its official col¬ ors—blue and gold. In order to show the Warriors that everyone was be¬ hind them, a pep rally was held. As buckets of rain poured outside, the Warriors gathered inside the field- house. With speeches, skits, and a lot of help from the colorguard and cheerleaders, hopes were held high that the game would still be on so that the Warriors might be victorious that evening. Many old subjects of the kingdom returned to watch the battle between the Warriors and the Pioneers. As eected, the Warriors might be victori¬ ous with a score of 33-33. “Even though we won by a lot of points, the best part was winning in front of our family, friends, and the alumni,” said senior Paul Etter. “The game was fun for everyone because for the first time this season, everyone on varsity got to play,” added senior Pete Wilkins. Another highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen and Mr. Touchdown. For the first time in years not one, but two Mr. Touchdowns, Paul Etter and Bill Smith, were crowned with laurels. The royal court consisted of Monica Garza, Tracy Horvat, Lisa Juscik, Su¬ san Lentvorsky, and Danielle Stofko. As each girl waited in anticipation for those words which would make her fairytale come true, it was announced: “And the 1986 Homecoming Queen is ... Tracy Horvat.” “When I heard my name all I saw was flashing lights. Then the hugs and tears came right away. Those meant the most because I realized the Homecoming Queen was me; Tracy Horvat.” After all the activities that took place in the Warrior Kingdom, the grandest festivity of all was the Royal Ball. The cafeteria was where the gala was to be held. At the stroke of 7:00, the occasion began. It was the first year that Father ordered a D.J. for his people. The decorations were com¬ mented upon with favorable results. “It was fun helping set up for the dance. The decorations themselves were a ‘dream’,” said senior Maggie Martinez. As the clock approached 10:30, the Warriors danced their last dance with their dreams come true. “The success of the Homecoming Dance was a true sign of an excellent senior class,” said senior Susan Lent¬ vorsky. Thus at the stroke of 10:30, the Warriors want out on the town for dinner and fun.

“The unity and closeness of the cast and crew was overwhelming.” Musical Afloat •‘Bring us back something green, David,” Noah sets the bird, David, free after the flood in search of dry land. Noah, Pete Saliga, sings ‘‘Two By Two”, the title song of the show, which explains to Japeth why God intended for the male and female of each species to be brought on the ark. Brother and sister, hus¬ band and wife—junior Pete Saliga and senior Aline Saliga played lead roles as Noah and Ester in the musical Two By Two. Noah, presented as a mod¬ ern father, faces many prob¬ lems with his children. His el¬ dest son Shem is greedy, selfish, and only worried about his position and money. Ham, his middle son, is lazy and does little, yet expects to get the most. The youngest son Japeth goes against ev¬ erything Noah tells him. Two By Two is the story of a caring, kind, patient father that has enormous love for his children despite how they treat him. A lot of effort and time went into producing the play. Friendships were developed and strengthened along the way. “I loved working as a stage manager because it was something I never before ex¬ perienced. The unity and closeness of the cast and crew was overwhelming. It is good to see that great talent is be¬ ing put to good use,” said ju¬ nior Jodi Tomsic. Working on the sets gave many a different angle of viewing the produc¬ tion. “Working back stage was great! It gave me a chance to see how a theater produc¬ tion is run. I also learned how to build a set,” senior Val Cuddington said. The mood of the play was set as the audience was greet¬ ed at the door by a monkey and a skunk. “I loved usher¬ ing and seeing the little kids look at me as if I was a real monkey, they were cute,” said senior Eileen Kristi. With a successful outcome, the play served to stengthen the theater department and was a rewarding experience for those involved. 14 Fall Musical
