King, Queen reflect on Homecoming Week I felt very fortunate to make roy- alty as I'm sure, everyone did I enjoyed the whole week and I think everyone showed a lot of school spirit. Becoming queen was a surprise to me. but I felt honored and even a little embar- rassed. Being part of royalty and the whole Honeconing Week made me feel closer to my class- mates and more a part of things. As I thought of Homecon- ing I also thought of graduation and how my last year at CHS started out great and how this will be my last year with the people I grew up with and the people I really care about. Homecoming 1987 was a great and memora- ble experience especially win- ning the Homecoming football game, and I'm sure I'll never for- get it. Kris Kruse The 1987 Homecoming week was one of the most memorable weeks of my high school years. As a senior, experiencing the exceit- ment of the homecoming festivi- ties, such as coronation, the as- sembly and, of course, the foot- ball victory was extremely fun. David Viereck
