Spirit spread as the week dedi- cated for Homecoming came clos- er. Dresses were bought, made, or borrowed; and suits that came out from the back of the Closet were dusted off and tried on for a last minute fitting. Corsages were ordered, reservations made, and plans drawn up as the dance ap- proached. Then came Spirit Week, filled with the coronation, the pepfest, the game, and finally the dance, bringing the festive week to a close. Homecoming Court was a spe- cial one this year. As Sean Collins UZl put it, tilt was picked not by popularity but by the way people are. These people acted the same all through high school. This makes a special court. The court was very unified and many new friendships were made. As Mary Shulze t12l described her experience on court, she stated, liltis a real honor to be in such a neat group of people. We all be- came really close, like a family right from the start. Activities brought the court members to- gether almost every day, estab- lishing great friendships and an excellent Homecoming exper- ience.

Angie Dobies 02L a member of court, had her own opinion which many others shared and stated, By the time coronation came around, I real- ized that every single person on court was a king and queen; each in their own unique and special way. Scott Thorpe OD, Master of Ceremonies, welcomed the en- thusiastic crowd to the royal cere- mony. Matt Bertram tlll and Lora Aadalen till introduced each of the eleven couples.

After a brief huddle with the boys, Charlie ran over, and after mo- ments of tension and suspense, grabbed a surprised Beth DeVoe 02L crowning her Queen of Edina. The whole court celebrat- ed afterwards during a festive re- ception in the library put on by Gretchen Nelson all. Spirit and pride continued the following day during the pepfest.
