 The Russian Club offers a toast to the Edina Homecoming Court. Then Bruce took his turn at choosing royalty. He walked back and forth before the female counterpart of the Court, letting the suspcncc rise, before he and his entourage swooped down upon the thrilled Dina (12) to pronounce her Queen. The happy King and Queen then rose to sit on their thrones, and acknowledge the applause and cheers of the crowd. After the big pep-fest there was a number of smaller celebrations, and one very important one. The Homecoming game. To start out this event, the court and a variety of interesting floats (all had to be carried on foot because of the new all-weather track) gave a parade for all of Edina. Then came the game, which was unmitigated fun for everyone, including the opposite team. With all the action and dent body declared the Homecoming to be a truly satisfying event, and the 1984-'85 Homecoming Court humorously donned track shoes, ballet slippers, and various other forms of footwear in their walk around the track.

The decorations were not the only things that were fantastic that night; the appearances of the students left a lasting impression as well. “The outfits were incredible,” exclaimed Jennifer Abrams (12), co-chairman of the Homeocming celebration, “and I really enjoyed giving my time to make the dance and Homecoming work As the hands of the clock approached midnight, couples filtered out in groups to talk over the dance.
