WW Fun-fi I led week: aww nd the 1986-87 Homecom- ing Queen is . . . every- body in the community and student body waited with excitement and an- ticipation to learn the identity of the new queen. As the half came to a close, the five nervous and hopeful candidates and their fathers walked on to the football field. The Ellsworth March- ing Band, led by director, Dennis Smith, played Black Saddles and He Ain't Heavy during the crown- ing ceremonies. As the Homecoming Queen, Tami Price, was announced, she was awarded the signed football and the queen's crown. When l was announced queen, l was very surprised and very happy. It was a great honor l will never for- get, Price said. Attendants to the Queen were Cin- dy Adamek, Leah Bruce, Laura Ste- fek and Denise Woodbury. It was a very special time for me, but it went too fast, Woodbury said. The escorts for the Queen candi- dates were Ron Davis, Todd Price, Nick Rodriguez, Shane Russell and Paul Snyder. Clouds of cold mist drifted over the crowd and football field as the Bearcats fought the Sacred Heart Knights. The Knights prevailed, how- ever, in a 33-7 victory. At the Queen's Assembly, before the parade, senior Kellie Headley sang Greatest Love of All, by Whit- ney Houston. The Pops group sang Perhaps Love and Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire. The cheer- leaders performed by dancing to Pri- vate Number by the Jetts. - Pam Schmidt - Denise Woodbury HOMECOMING GROUP: Escorts.

Spirit Week started out as a hit on Monday as Lee or Levis day. Along with their Lees or Levis, students also wore boots and cowboy hats. Many showed their patriotism on Tuesday with Born in the LI.S.A. day by wearing red, white and blue. Along with everything else, the seniors painted the streets on Tues- day. Almost everyone turned up be- cause it was a night for only seniors. Nerd day was on Wednesday. Clothes that clashed, taped glasses, short pants and big bow ties were some of the accessories worn. lt Cdressing like a nerdj let my true personality shine through, said senior Mary Dolezal. l had fun locating all the old clothes l wore, said senior Marisa Ericson.
