' Skins unite in Homecoming spirit but lose game The crowd was on the edge of their seats. The time was fast approaching for the an- nouncement of the 1981 Homecoming royalty. Principal Gene Austin stepped to the microphone, and the crowd grew ex- tremely quiet. It was finally time. Mr. Austin said, The 1981 Homecoming King is . . . Rex Soladine. The band then played a rousing fanfare, and Rex came forth and was crowned by last year ' s queen, Angie Mina. Minutes later Mr. Austin announced, Our 1981 Homecoming Queen is Dawn Morse. At this time the band played Miss America. Dawn accepted her flowers from last year ' s king Philip Fingers and her crown was presented to her by Angie. After the crowning the king and queen presided over the remainder of the game from their throne that was set up by the Key Club. Queen Dawn Morse commented, Others who won told me that they cried, but I could not make the tears come because I was in a state of shock.
