Extending the Crown Homecoming contained many new surprises, especially the Hall Decorating Activities, which were very different compared to last year ' s. Instead of each class decorating a hall throughout the school, the cafeteria was decorated. Each class was given sections of the walls to decorate making sure, though, that enough wall space was left for the cheerleaders. The building was closed at 7:30 promptly to finish the decorating. Although some were not finished, then, they had to leave. With their hall theme Trojans Re- write History , the freshmen class won the decorating contest. They re- ceived a plaque with the year of their class engraved on one of its twenty plates. Friday ' s festivities began with an annual chili supper which was spon- sored by the Student Council. A Prince and Princess crowning was added for 1985. The candidates for this new category were freshmen Les- lee Hardwick and Troy Wilhelm, sophomores Lisa Brinson and Kenny Hughes, and juniors Janice Kinker and Jeff Dierckman. Janice and Ken- ny were crowned the first Prince and Princess in the history of E.C. Leslee Hardwick commented afterwards, I was happy for the girl who was cho- sen and glad I made it this far. Following the Prince and Princess crowning came the long awaited mo- ment to see who would be this year ' s King and Queen. Tammy Pies and Bill Stalnaker were crowned the win- ners by Benita Reese and Student Council Representatives with the help of the much excited crowd. Their court consisted of Mike Alig, Rhonda Bailiff, David Wendelman, Lee Ann Kemme, Mike Fledderman and Angle Kichler. After the football game, which was won against South Dear- born by a score of 34-6, a dance was planned featuring The Works. This band was newly formed and featured many performers from Rockbound. Since many students enjoyed the mu- sic, some were disappointed to see midnight come. Despite their wishes.

Country Charm Prepared to Parade. Pumpkin Show candidates settle on their float before traveling the one mile parade route through Versailles, on the morning of September twenty-eighth. Luckily it was held on a warm day allowing many patrons to come. At first glance, the eighty-third Versailles Pumpkin Show and the Aurora ' s Farmers Fair may have seemed like any other typical fall event, but they weren ' t. A closer look at the people, personal- ities and events showed the feelings of anticipation, excitement and nervous- ness. Invariably all the country charm shone through in all its true colors. The crowded streets at the Ver- sailles Pumpkin Show were filled with concession stands whose smells lingered in the air, many competi- tions and games, and a parade which made the smiles light up on many faces. The expressions which envel- oped the feelings of the Junior and Senior high band members changed to confidence as the parade pro- gressed and their skill increased. The excitement peaked when Missy Wues- tefeld competitively challenged the nine other candidates for the title of Pumpkin Show Queen. Seniors to represent East Central at Ready with the answer, Missy Wuesterfeld, Pump- kin Show candidate for East Central, starts to answer a number of questions presented to her at the Pumpkin Show in competition against eight other girls. the Aurora Farmers Fair were Kim Konradi and Eric Rennekamp. They diligently answered the questions th ey were presented, with hopes of soon becoming the new King and Queen that night. Kim remarked that while she read her question she thought, I ' ll never be able to answer this ques- tion. She was relieved when it was over and she could finally sit down. I was really nervous ...
