 1. 2. The October 11. 1985 homecoming theme, ‘Rockin' Rampage”, was a theme of perfection as the spirited Vikings enjoyed a fun week of activities based on Rock n-Roll. This year's Homecoming also came with a few sur prises: The introduction of the first Viking mascots, the addition of a junior court, and the revining of the parade through town which drew a large crowd. Following the traditional bonfire, the Vikings played a masterful game, but the Maple Valley Lions slipped by with a 7 0 victory During halftime, the Juniors were awarded first place for the best float. Seniors captured second; Sophomores, third; and Freshmen, fourth. The new king and queen. Doug Hughes and Amy Crampton. were crowned by the returning 1984 King Dave Herman and Queen Tammy Harsh. The dance afterwards was enjoyed by all with music provided by ‘‘Escort”. 24 Homecoming 3.
