WONDERLAND The night air was warmed by the hot flames and glowing smiles of stu- dents as the 1982 homecoming fes- tivities for “Wonderland” were offi- cially underway. In a colorful field adorned with posters depicting the fall of the Clinton River Kings, Blue Devils screamed words of encour- agement to their classmates partici- pating In the sac race, tug-a-war, and egg toss. As the fire dwindled down to the last coal, the students departed in anticipation of the an- nouncement of the queen the fol- lowing day. The royal day arrived, and after the court of Stacy Crouch, Debbie Rat- cliff, Mary Williams, and Lisa Ohl- weller was escorted through the majestic tunnel formed by the flag corps, a teary-eyed queen was crowned. “I was honored to be cho- sen to be a candidate and surprised to be part of the court,” explained Mimi Tyler in front of a standing audience, “but becoming queen was not something I expected!” But, be- fore anyone was content the dilem- ma facing Alex (Charles Johnson), who had five unwanted dates for homecoming, had to be resolved. Following a series of meetings with a Little Rabbit, a Big Rabbit, Twee- dle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber, a Catlpillar, the King of Hearts, a Cheshire Cat, and the Wiz, Alex was relieved of his five dates. That evening the state-bound Blue Devils conquered the Clinton River Kings 58 - 15, in a chilly stadium filled with enthusiastic fans. With only the dance remaining as the climax to our fantasy, estatic couples filled a glittering gym. Tick- ets were punched, pictures were taken, and arm-in-arm happy cou- ples danced away our wonderland.
