NATIONAL A Time For Fun Homecoming has always been a special time for the students at Coldwater High School, and this year was no exception. The fun began on Monday when students were asked to display school spirit by wearing their catchiest sneakers on a day aptly dubbed as “Sneaker Day.” Action continued Tuesday, “Shades of Bermuda Day,” when students wore sunglasses and tropical colors bright enough to blind. “College T-Shirt Day” was the high point of the week, when students wore shirts ranging from MSU to Harvard. That night a large crowd competed in the first annual Homecoming Olympics. Extra points for Homecoming were awarded to winners of the Peanut Roll, Ping-pong Throw, Shave a Balloon Contest, and the infamous Pie-eating Contest. Seniors put their noses to the grindstone (or the gym floor) to win the Peanut Roll and the Ping-pong Throw. Pigging out royally on chocolate, lemon and coconut cream pies, the juniors won the Pie-eating Contest, while the freshmen, barely able to shave themselves, finished first in the Shave a Balloon Contest. Thursday everyone but the teachers wore jeans on Jeans Day, and the week ended with Red and White Day on Friday. 1. “The Begley Look — Shawn Bagley wears a bit of the Islands on “Shades of Bermuda Day. 2.

A Time Of Changes The 1986 Homecoming will perhaps best be remembered as “the year of changes.” It all started amidst rumors regarding the elimination of floats. Floats, the pro- ducts of many a headache, were replaced by static displays. That change ended up convenient, since week-long heavy rains made working outside almost impossible. Injuries and controversy marred what turned out to be the last Mudbowl Football game played. However, even with those changes. Homecoming 1986 proved to be one of the best ever. Who could forget the controversial “Get (CENSORED) at Mudbowl ’86 by the Seniors” shirts, the juniors' hotly con- tested Mudbowl victory, the monsoon rains, the fun of building static displays. Another change involved the week of competitive events. For the first time, all games wire played in the gym on a single night, a sort of crazy Olympics with classes competing against each other. Students tried their luck at everything from pushing peanuts across the gym floor with their noses to shaving a lathered balloon. “Where’s the Beach?” seemed to sum up the week of fun. Homecoming 1986, a week to remember. 3. Freshmen pose showing their Cardinal Spirit on their second place static display. 4. Sophomores Michelle Worden, Wendy Bushouse.
