Michelle Parker's truck was one of the better decorated vehicles in the parade. The 1986-87 Home- coming was a first in many ways. The first thing different about Homecoming was the idea of King and prince candidates. Andrea Porter, senior said, “I thought the idea of having king candidates was great. It got more people in- volved in the process of choosing, instead of just the football players.” As usual, school was dismissed early at 1:15 p.m. for the parade. This years parade was the largest ever, having 97 entries compared to last year’s entry of 82. The theme for the parade was “The Heat is On“.During halftime of the game against Northtown, the winning float and car were announced. Coming in first in the float compe- tition was the seniors, sec- ond went to the sopho- mores and third to the freshmen. The Tigerettes walked away with the first place in the car competi- tion while NHS took sec- ond and J.V. cheerleaders placed third. “I thought this years parade was better than last years, and longer too. The weather was perfect. It was a good day for the parade,” Becca Livingston, junior, said. TMS 'EM4 ‘ J %L . Grand Marshall Richard llyder. West princi- pal, leads the parade.
