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.
