1980 Homecoming Homecoming 1980 began on Thursday October 16th with the traditional Snake Dance. On Friday, the Homecoming Pep Session was especially peppy . As the students entered the gym, the band was building the excitement by playing songs from its marching show. After everyone's favorite “Battle Cry” cheer was done (Seniors winning, of course!) Student Council President, Mike Hill, announced the 1980 Homecoming queen candidates. Candidates were Whitney Swanson, es- corted by Mark Walters; Susn Schnepper, escorted by Mark Stine; and Lori Lyon, escorted by Jay Dee Waggoner. Lori Lyon was crowned 1980 Homecoming queen by the 1979 queen, Patti Hill. A Homecoming King contest was pul on by the Pep Club. Candidates were Mike I evitt, Greg Clow, and Brad Cummins. Each picked an activity to perform, and the one with the most applause won. Mike I evitt won for his muscle-showing and his sexy looks! Greg and Brad came in close though. Greg had to do a strip, and Brad demonstrated his skillful ability to get a girl to go out with him (except this girl was a teacher Mrs. Schmalhausen!). After the football players and girls vol- leyball teams were introduced, and the school song was played, everyone was dis- missed to return to class. The Homecoming football game was a spectacular success! With a score of 20 - 0, the Tigers led on to a victorious victory. The game was followed by the traditional Homecoming dance, featuring the band, Stasis.
