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. As Thursday afternoon ap- proached, the halls were hum- ming with opinions of who would be king and queen. 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.

With a huge hug from the 1986 Homecoming Queen, Katie DeVoe, Charlie Ei- frig UZl was crowned King. 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. At 2:00 Friday afternoon masses of students and faculty decked in green and white poured excitedly into the gym.

We ruled over ABUF! By the way, could anyone hear ABUFls skit at the Home- coming pepfest?! Of course, let's not forget ABUF, our own bunch of fools, who also por- trayed their school pride at the pepfest.

As an added attraction, the pa- rade was coursed through down- town Edina. Over 400 students were involved in the parade in some way or another, and it was composed, among other things, of a semi truck for the Senior Women, a gang of mopeds for members of ABUF, language floats, publications floats, the band, Cheerleaders, Hornettes, Homecoming Court, and various other components. The prize for the best float went to the Latin Club. The pride of Edina High School could not be hidden as Friday night's Homecoming game was played. With the slogan: Come on Make Some Noise, Hornets Rock the Trojan Boysl , our foot- ball team led us through a spirited game, resulting in a 0-27 score against Wayzata. Although the game resulted in defeat, Edina's enthusiasm was at its greatest HOMECOMING height. ttEven though we lost our Homecoming game, the crowd had spirit e thatls all that really counts, commented Darrin Du- fresne ll U. Saturday night, the finer things appeared at the Homecoming dance. With the band Random Ac- cess, couples danced the night away with dates and friends. A new occurance this year was the court dance, during which the royal couples danced for their kingdom. With the theme ilThe Finer Things, the school was decorated with colorful bows, top hats, balloons, diamonds, arid champagne glasses. Molly Bor- gen l12l summed the evening up by saying, ll It was definitely one of the high points of my year.
