Let's Go Hawaiian, was the them© for the 1986 Homecoming Week and dance. The highlights of homecoming were the bonfire, parade, and, of course, the football game. Although we lost we still held our heads high and looked forward to the dance. The bonfire was held on October 9, which sure was a good night for it because it sure was cold! It may not have lasted long but it was worth it. Everyone ei- ther kept warm by the fire or found someone to keep warm with. The pa- rade was the highlight of the game. Since the theme was Lets go Hawai- ian , everyone who participated with the parade all went Hawaiian style with grass skirts, printed shorts, and skirts. The floats were full of color and a special touch was added from all of the classes. The seniors won all three events this year, which included: best theme, most creative and originality. As the night progressed and it was getting colder and later, the football team was trying their best to win. We lost; but at least we played a good game. Homecoming for every school should have been a memorable time which should never be forgotten. — Michelle Lopez

Home- coming has been a dance which is held at the beginning of the school year to welcome all the students back for another exciting year. The theme for the dance was, Let's Go Hawai- ian . This was one of the best themes we have ever had. The theme was so universal, that many people went stag or with a group of their friends. Many were paired up with someone by the end of the evening. The dance was held in the cafeteria. It started at about 7:30 p.m., and lasted until 11:30 p.m. A pair of leis was given to each couple as they arrived at the dance. Homecoming 14 The entertainment for the evening was the All Night News Boys”. They played many popular tunes, ranging from pop to slow music. Students helped themselves to the fruit and punch layed out in Hawaiian style. Pic- tures were taken all evening by the Life Touch photographers. The back- ground setting was a very elaborate Hawaiian sunset with palm trees. At 10:00 it was time to announce the Homecoming Queen. Judy Brown gave her crown up to Betty Ward Homecoming Queen 86-87. — Tracie Kowalski Right. Nicole Richardson and Jay Jurek share a special moment.
