Homecoming '81 Clawson, Robl crowned King and Queen Though a disappointing 8-0 loss to the Sterling Black Bears Oct. 9 end- ed the 1981 Homecoming festivities, the general feeling was a feeling of success toward the day. The day started with an all school pep assembly by the EHS cheer- leaders. During the assembly they awarded the junior and sophomore classes the spirit awards for winning Spirit Week. The next prize went to Monte Miller, junior, for winning the Mr. Irresistible contest. Following a pep talk by Head Coach Bill Seidl, the day continued to the Homecom- ing assembly. The Homecoming assembly took place in the auditorium that after- noon at 2:30. Seniors Jess Starkey and Michelle Branson were the mas- ter and mistress of ceremonies. They announced the candidates with the accompaniment of sophomore Bar- bara Biays on the piano. Rita Robl and Kraig Clawson were then crowned Homecoming queen and king. The brother and sister combo of junior Darrell Seitz and senior So- nya Seitz sang “Looking Through the Eyes of Love.” The theme, Fall Fete, was rein- forced by the stage setting of huge leaves painted in fall colors. Crownbearers were Rebecca Herr- man, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Herman, and Joel Dewey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Dewey. The game that night against the Sterling Black Bears was scoreless until the last two and a half minutes when the Sterling quarterback threw a touchdown pass. Fog started rolling onto the field about the second quarter, making it almost impossible for the fans to de- termine which team was running the ball, and worse yet, where the two teams were. “You couldn’t see very far down the field, and it was hard on the re- ceiver to see the ball especially,” ju- nior tackle Jim Helfrich said. Later that night the Student Council sponsored a dance, with the group “Power Glide,” in the gym.

Theater reigns again The 1982 Junior-Senior Prom, May 8, was a total success, according to most of the students who attend- ed. The theme, “Rockin’ the Para- dise,” was chosen for the special event, and the old theater which used to reign in Chicago was resur- rected for this unforgettable evening. The ballroom at the Black Angus in Great Bend was decorated totally as the Paradise Theater. Tim Vogt, president of the junior class, welcomed the students and fac- ulty and then introduced Monty Fox, freshman, who sang the intro- duction to “Rockin’ the Paradise.” Then a musical film was shown which the junior class made especial- ly for Prom. This film was the high- light of the evening as it turned out. The film presented members of the junior class attending a rock concert in which the band members were sophomores Tony Thill and Craig Amerine, and freshmen Monty Fox, Scott Christiansen, and Mike Thill. These five pretended to be the group “Styx”, and the juniors were down below the stage screaming their praise. The Mystic Blues then sang the “Fame” medley, while synchronized flashing of strobe lights made the group appear to be in slow motion. A new event this year was the crowning of Prom royalty. Candi- dates for the honor were seniors Lorri DeWerff, Nancee Dannebohm, Robin Buckbee, Kraig Clawson, Dale Hogg, and Curtis Arbuckle. The 1982 Prom king and queen were Kraig Clawson and Nancee Dannebohm. “Myth” was the band for the sec- ond year in a row. Many compli- ments were received about them. - Reviewed by Sonya Seitz Time to get close. Senior Sheryl Whittaker and date, Mike Hood, enjoy this slowing down in pace.
