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.

EyCTPiH Learning Adventure Living thousands of miles from home . . . going to a strange school where a dif- ferent language was spoken . . . these were not everyday exper- iences for most people, but for Ariadna Garza, from Mexico, and Susanne Gaass, from West Ger- many, these experiences were re- ality. Susanne, who lived with Martha and Mike Smith of Sunraan, found school to be different than it was in Germany. Instead of changing classes each period, the teachers came to each room. Students stud- ied fifteen to twenty subjects per year and the schedule varied every day. It is a very big experience for me to be living away from home. It helps me a lot to learn about my- self. It ' s very interesting for me to leave everything behind and start life new, commented Susanne. For Ariadna, who lived with Gloria and David Record of Hid- den Valley Lake, school hours were drastically different. In Mexi- co classes were held from 7:00 to 1:00; then a two hour lunch break and students went back from 3:00 to 8:00. The grading system was based on numbers, 1-10, instead of letters; in order to pass, a student had to have at least a six. First thing it was crazy. The meals were at different hours, said Ariadna. She also added, In other countries they have the con- cept that Americans are really lib- eral, but not in a good way. Here, there are good people with good morals. Both Ariadna and Susanne were able to visit other parts of the coun- try. Ariadna visited New York City with the Social Studies Club and Susanne visited Chicago and Wash- ington, D.C. Susanne summed up her expefr ience by saying, Everyday is aB adventure, somehow, because yo i learn new things. Catching up on the latest.
