Keeping Tradition A floatless homecoming for Evergreen? That was the threat that shadowed the student body. A compromise between Mr. Millisor and the Student Council saved the floats just before all hope was lost. Pre-game excitement began with the marching band playing while attendants were escorted across the field by their parents. Next, the action of the game helped take everyone’s mind off the threatening rain. By half-time the Vikings were low in points but determined the game could still be ours. While the team re-grouped, festivities began with Vikettes and band performing “the Magnificent Seven followed by band numbers “For Your Eyes Only,” and The Heat Is On. Then floats circled the field portraying movie themes. “Friday the Thir- teenth,” the sophomore float took first place: Senior float Nightmare on Elm Street,” took second. Anticipation climaxed with the crowning of Queen Jamie Thibert and King Mark Smith. During the second half the Vikings tried to claim victory, but their efforts fell short. Saturday night spirits recovered as couples danced to the music of “Tux Music Company” and observed the formal crown- ing of the royal couple.
