The parade, however, was canceled because of high winds. Brenda Hess (12) head of the Parade Committee, said. It was totally unfair of them to cancel the parade. They should have consented with the students in charge before doing it. It was a real bummer. In the game against Burnsville. Edina showed those Braves who really had courage! The final score was Edina 13. Burnsville 6. Saturday, the final day of Homecoming week, got off to a lazy start. Around 1:00. people began to arrive at Bachmans, as hundreds of little purple boxes emerged from the back room. The Decorations Committee was hard at work adding touches of summer to the commons and cafete- ria. There were goldfish bowls on the tables, and all was ready for the dance to begin. Happy couples, after exchanging flowers and humoring the oohs and ahhs of nostalgic parents, drove off to various fine Twin Cities restaurants. After dinner, to the dance they flew. Arriving fashionably late. 9:03 for the sophomores, 10:20 for the rest, couples found themselves surrounded with cheerful chatter and bee-bop music. Some couples amused themselves by dancing the night away, other by mingling with friends. At 11:30. the dance drew to a close. After-dance activities included parties. restaurants, hotel rooms, and movies. This year's Homecoming festivities were fantastic, all who participated felt Homecoming '85 was the perfect “kick off of the school year. At the Royal Coronation.

HOMECOMING Our Spirit showed through oil week long. ell. I wanted to go with W Bob. but he's taking Suzy. though Suzy would rather go with m but Tom has a crush on this girl ho, in my opinion looks like a gerbel. id if she goes with Tom then Fred's onna be mad 'cause he's bought his it already, and the girl who sold it to 77, her name is Darlene, is sick of her oyfriend. Jason, 'cause Larry might •k Ellen, and if Ellen says no. that eons that she wants to go with meone else, but nobody knows who. 1 least half the senior men think it's em. but that's all right — cause Bob obably won't ask Suzy and this imecoming will be hunky-dory! Hence, the trauma of many young males at Edina during the weeks here, and heaven forbid, even the aek of Homecoming. Early in September, the school be-in to buzz with excitement. Stu- nt Council began recruiting mem-jrs to head the various committees. Soon it came time to pick the Homecoming Court. Ballots were distributed to senior homerooms, and at long last, twenty-two people were selected for court. Although it was a tough choice for whom to vote (for the juniors and seniors.) it must have been even more difficult for our lower classmen. Perhaps one of their deliberations went something like this Gee George. do you know who to vote for the homecoming King and Queen? Like nowaymanareyoukidding? All the women are so like fan tubularly hot. I Just can't get enough of them, ya know? I see. You think that each woman is individually groovy-don't George? Oh dear, makes one wonder if they ever did come to a decision. Anyhow, the school did make it's choice. The drumroll intensified fhe excitement as Dina Isenhuth, the 1984 Queen, gleefully chided the eager candidates by pacing slowly up and down their row. The gym took on a blue glow as everyone held their breath. Finally Dina threw her arms around Jeff Bisson (12). The picking of the new Homecoming Queen. Hayley Bush (12) was to follow. Hayley and Jeff made an adorable couple as they strolled down the royal paper carpet. Students cheered, mothers shrieked with excitement and several Dads with state of the art vidieo equipment captured the whole ceremony on tape. The court then enjoyed having their pictures taken at the Pillsbury Mansion downtown, and a visit to Dave Bur-bidge’s (12) grandma, who lived in the apartment building next door. After that, one doesn't know what they did. but rumor had it that they just missed sixth hour.
