On November 6, Americans voted in the 1984 presidential election to select our 40th leader. About three weeks before that, Crockett students voted for their 1984 Homecoming Court. The presidential election was held by secret ballot but in our election, the ballots were sent to each advisory with a list of nominess from that grade level. A ballot for queen was sent to each senior advisory. Nominees were then voted on by the entire advisory. Top nominess were then presented before the start of the Homecoming Game. Winners were an- nounced the following evening at the dance. Freshman class winners were Princess Nancy Christian and Duchess Raquel Garcia. For the sophomore class, the representatives were Princess Shari Boortz and Duchess Lisa Perry. Junior class winners were Princess Patricia Torres and Duchess Sara Barrington. Princess Evelyn Casas and Duchess Teresa Carney were the senior class win- ners. The 1984-85 Homecoming Queen was senior Melinda Cantu. by Kelley Creasey use ,vigil tm. Homecoming X 15

radition Although many traditions of football endured 1984, others were lost for the homecoming game. For the last several years, Crockett has played the Travis Rebels for homecoming. However, the University Interscholastic League changed the Austin high schools' football schedules so that the Travis Rebels and the Reagan Raiders would play the last gameg which they figured would be very ex- citing. Because of this change, we played Travis too early in the year for homecoming and ended up playing Reagan instead. While the game has usually been played on Fri- day nights, students have not attended school that day due to Staff Development. On this day we usually had attended or participated in the Cougarland Parade. Unfortunately club sponsors vetoed the 1984 parade because they believed there was a lack of student support. When students arrived at Burger Center it still did not seem like homecoming. Neither the Tex- Anns nor the band wore their dress uniforms. In- stead, they wore pep rally uniforms. The change of uniforms was due to the bad weather we had had for several days. Also, the Athletic Department had informed both organizations earlier in the day that because of all the rain the field was very mud- dy and they would be unable to perform. With all the changes, the 1984 Homecoming game resembled all the other games for there weren't any special distinctions. No one thing stood out in any student's mind. The feeling of togetherness and excitement for the school spirit was absent from the homecoming festivities because the students had no one focal point to put their emotions into, said junior Christy Hodson. - Michelle Creasey tif.. ,WX W. 14 lHomecoming Time-honored rituals of parade, South zone rivalry halftime shows challenged by required changes if P. 1,4 4 Above Varsity football players break through the weekly spirit sign made by Tex-Anns, cheerleaders, and Texans.
