Second runners- up were Kells Christian and Tina Fox. First runners-up were Brandon Mendoza and Melanie Overby. The Homecoming King and Queen were Grant Denny and Janie Sibley. When asked how she felt about the honor of being chosen as Homecoming Queen, Janie re- marked, uThe feeling of being selected Homecoming Queen was the highest honor that I could receive during my high school years. Knowing the honor came from my peers is most important. The night of Homecoming I felt like l was the happiest person in the world. The game added even more excitement to the even- ing with a score of 33-20 and was a perfect precursor for the dance immediately afterwards. Many found on that special night that you don't have to go over the rainbow to find happiness because all the love and friendship you'll ever need is right in your own backyard. 28fHIGHLIGHTS Cas.
