iie Piide £ gac Crowns, Dates, Spirit . . . Rain? The rain came. The Giants came. But the spirit and pride shown in the week before proved nothing could ruin the Hawk ' s Homecom- ing against the Giants, on October 3rd. Despite the rain and the loss, this Homecoming was my best ever. The spirit was so much greater this year, that the problems didn ' t matter. I think Decatur is taking on a new attitude, said Junior Kelly Cole. The week began with dress-up days. Wednesday was Sweats day. On the next day the students were allowed to break the dress code and wear Bermuda shorts. Participants were not only students but some faculty members, in- cluding Principal Brad Eshelman. Friday was the traditional Blue and Gold Day. The students wore their letter sweaters or blue and gold colors to help prepare for the game. Halls were decorated with class pride and many sayings like We hate purple. At 2:30 the Hawks piled into the gymnasium for a pep session. Dur- ing the pep session the Homecom- ing Prince and Princess court was announced. For the Junior class Brian Harrington and Debbie Tut- sie were chosen to reign.

Mike and I really ap- preciated all the support we got during halftime; it was one of the happiest times of our Senior year! The Circle City Covette Club made an appearance to chauffeur the candidates around the track in the winning parade. The game ended without a vic- tory, yet spirit and pride didn ' t leave when the Giants did. No, D.C. spirit stayed only to prove the Pride is Back.

3 tde ' ?4 ' g c6 — On the day before Christmas break, Santa (Mr. Furniss) makes a trip through the cafeteria. Mr. Furniss also ended the daily announcements with saying, Let ' s be good to each other. Teddy bears played an important role under Christmas trees in 1986. There were many different types of bears in- cluding the Lazarus bear, Blocks bear, and the traditional Care Bears. On Valentine ' s Day I was really surprised when my boyfriend Michael gave me roses. That really made my Valentine ' s Day special! commented Junior Jill Green.
