NITE TIME IS the right time! Ring!” The sound of the bell that ends the seventh hour blues on Friday afternoon is also the signal for Nite Life to begin. Students rush home to eat and get ready for the Friday night game. After the game some students go to Italian Village for pizza, to be with their friends, and to celebrate a victory; however, other people ce-lebrte a victory by cruising with their friends. But then again some students decide just to go home. The Nite Life varies for the students at ECHS. Lets see! We don’t succeed unless we have fun try- ing. — Kristin McQuitty Getting together with your friends on the weekends can be a highlight of anyone’s Nite Life. Tina Lovell stated, My Nite Life usually consists of going to Italian Village after the games and then having a friend stay over or vise versa.” Stacey Rickabaugh commented, I like to stay over with my friends, go to the ballgames, ride around, and yell at all the good looking guys!” Having Chinese fire drills with Mrs. Scharff, Marianne Perez, and the other cheerleaders is how I get carried away with my Nite Life,” stated Kim Werline. Usually on Friday night the Nite Life is at Italian Village. One tends to wonder how the employees feel about all of this excitement. One employee commented that it is like trying to feed fifty elephants on one peanut; however, they do enjoy the crowd. After the exciting weekend, it’s back to good ole Monday!

PROUD AS A PANTHER Elwood Prevails The weather was perfect for winning the 1985 Homecoming game. The Panthers defeated the Bruins 21-0. This win has to be a memorable event for Coach Hughes, since this was his first Homecoming as the head coach for the Panthers. Homecoming was different this year. There was still the parade and a powder puff game, but instead of being on Saturday as it traditionally has been in the past, the homecoming game took place on Friday night. Everyone seemed to adjust quite well to the change. Mike Linder, senior, was picked by Student Council as the parade marshal. Thursday night before the homecoming game, the junior and senior girls challenged each other in fheir annual powder puff football game. The juniors were overwhelmed by the seniors, 22-12. During half time of the powder puff game, Larry Gibson was crowned king. Vying for the title also were Jim Beecher, Steve Helpling, Cliff Hoskins, and Demetri Pappas. Those who oppose will fall — Cliff Hoskins Tension reached its peak as the awaited announcement came closer. The crowd grew silent. The silence broke when Kim Werline was announced as the 1985 Homecoming queen. When I heard my name announced I was so surprised and excited,” stated Kim. The queens court consisted of Jill Champion, Christy Decker, Marianne Perez and Stacey Rickabaugh. Mrs. Merritt was asked to name just one highlight of the homecoming activities. She responded with, The crowning of the queen had to be one; the band’s new uniforms and the parade were a few others.” The senior class nominated the following Homecoming queen candidates for 1985: Christy Decker, Stacey Rickabaugh, Kim Werline, queen, Jill Champion, and Marianne Perez. Kim was crowned during half-time of the Homecoming game. The mighty Elwood Panther offense is in their stance ready to outscore the Blackford County Bruins.
