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
