Homecoming 1987 A Time to Celebrate On a brisk October evening. Homecoming festivities got un- derway. It was an evening of celebration and the Redskins really had some things to cele- brate. It was perfect football weath- er, and the ' Skins were ready. Then the team scored its first touchdown, the fans went wild. The band played, the cheer- leaders danced, and the crowd was on its feet. Band me mber Ron Winkler, senior, expressed what many spectators were thinking. Compared to last year, the spirit was very high. With the spirit so high, it made the play- ers play harder and want to win even more. Although the game was the main attraction for the evening, the half-time ceremony was also exciting and colorful. Sen- iors Steve Cox and Kristie From the sidelines, team members shout words of encouragement to their teammates on the field. Schwert were crowned king and queen. When the Redskin team took the field after the half-time fes- tivities, they did so with a new- ly-found sense of confidence. They had to hold the state- ranked Ritter Raiders for two more quarters. And hold them they did! As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the score- board said it all. The Redskins had shut out the Raiders 25-0. Principal Eugene Austin had praise for the students. I felt better this year than ever be- fore. There was more red and white in the stands, and I was really proud of the way the stu- dent body handled themselves. Obviously pleased about their corona- tion. Homecoming King Steve Cox and Queen Kristie Schwert smile for their official portrait.
