Freshman Stephanie Reynolds helps get a car ready for the parade before the football game. Spirited students make Homecoming a success! Homecoming ... It was more than just a dance, game or activity. It was a tradition.and a week-long series of events. The thought of Homecoming, for some, began as soon as school opened. The sweaty feeling in the hands when a boy asked a girl to the dance was felt by seniors and freshmen alike. Age and maturity did not seem to change this feeling. Homecoming Week began with Twin Day. Many friends got together and dressed up in the same clothes. Tuesday was Cowboy and Indian Day. Many Scarlets got out their cowboy boots, guns, hats and loin- cloths for this day. On Wednesday, East was invaded by the Revenge of the Nerds. Many people got on their best polka-dotted shirts, high-water pants and bow ties. Thursday, we showed how neat and nice we could look. This was Dress-up Day, and many young ladies and young men, dressed in their finest, showed up on this day. Finally, Homecoming Week ended with Spirit Day. Everyone put on his red and black clothes to provide spirit for the school. Two new events were added to Homecoming Week. The bonfire was complemented by a street dance, and a car parade before the game had about 40 to 50 cars participating. Student Government was again in charge of the Homecoming activities. Kim Heck, president of Student Government, thought that Home- coming Week went extremely well: Even though we didn ' t win the game, a lot of enthusiasm was shown. I feel that the street dance and the car parade helped add even more to the spirit of Homecoming. Seniors Heidi Ricks and Julie Elder dress in sim- ilar clothing and hair styles for Twin Day.

Justiniano, Seniors-frosh win On a sunny October afternoon, two teams of awesomely ferocious, muscular females faced each other in the challenge of the Powder-Puff football game. The Powder-Puff game, a highly regarded tradition, was fought Wednesday, Oct. 3, among a bevy of delighted fans and agile male cheerleaders. The winners, the seniors, along with their freshman cohorts, wreaked havoc among members of the soohomore-junior team by beating them 21-0. The event was highligh- ted by the crowning of the Powder- Puff Prince, Sal Rincon, senior. The assembly on Friday, Oct. 6, brought about a mixture of ner- senior Pug Starcevich) and Cara Carter, senior, dispel this notion as they dance to the pulsating beats played at the Homecoming Dance on Oct. vousness and anticipation as the Homecoming Court was presented for the first time. The freshman attendant was Susie Murrow, escorted by freshman Jim Grant; the sophomore attendant was Les- lie McCee, escorted by sophomore Andy McHugh; the junior attendant was Tracie Moore, escorted by jun- ior Mike Pavon. The Queen candi- dates were Angie Hodges, escorted by Lance Stephens, senior; Laura McMahon, escorted by Paul Mumma, senior; Natali Justiniano, escorted by Curt Heiting, junior,- and Kim Heck, escorted by Jeff Stock- bauer, senior, who was standing in for alumnus Scott Bryan. 6. We had a great time at the dance! It ' s too bad it didn ' t last longer— I could have danced all night! said Tami. Tension mounted as Mr. Walt Kennedy, Student Government advisor, ripped open the envelope annoucing Natali Justiniano as the 1984-5 Homecoming Queen. Her first royal walk was enhanced by the voices of seniors Kim Heck and Ted Garrington singing the theme song, Heaven. Taking place in the cafeteria Sat- urday, Oct. 6, the dance was a huge success. Couples had a good time. Many remarked that they really felt as if they were in Heaven. During her first royal walk, newly crowned Homecoming Queen Natali Justiniano pauses on the bridge to flash a happy smile. HOMECOMING 9
