Despite time limitations, Homecoming spirit soars Because of time-on-task requirements the 1984 Homecoming was unlike home- comings of previous years. Major changes were the elimination of the traditional Homecoming Pep Session during the last class period of the school day and the loss of float-building time during school hours. As a result only two floats entered Homecoming judging. Despite the changes some things re- mained the same. The hall decorating by classes did take place. Each class was as- signed a specific hall area to decorate. Because of its elaborate decorations the Senior Class hall display won the 1984 award. Throughout the week before Home- coming Day, Broad Ripple hallways WA VINC TO onlookers along the Homecoming Parade route up Broad Ripple Avenue, ROTC king and queen candidates Aaron Smith and Kimberly L. Johnson are driven by Army Recruiter SSG Pres- ton Harden. Later they were crowned king and queen. were also filled with hobos, punks, and Roman citizens. As BRHS tradition would have it, each day was set aside specifically for a dress theme — Nation- ality Day, Toga Day, Hobo Day, Punk Day, and finally Orange and Black Day. As Homecoming Day arrived, clubs, societies, and auxiliaries each made last- minute preparations for floats, decorated cars, marching units, and naming of homecoming king and queen. Elected king and queen were ROTC candidates Aaron Smith and Kimberly L. Johnson, seniors. Building the winning float in 1984 were the Thespian Society and the Masque and Mime. Major events of Homecoming Day were the parade up Broad Ripple Ave- nue; the Homecoming Game, which Broad Ripple won; and the Homecoming Dance afterward. The spirit had been rekindled during a week of activity aimed at developing pride in BRHS.
