All week long the students at EHS dressed appropriately. On Mon- day the students wore crazy attire. Martin Boyd wore a dress and many wore old shirts and had their friends sign them. On Tuesday, the students had to dress up punk. Boy, were there some pretty crazy outfits! When Wednesday rolled around the students had to sweat it out and wear clothes such as sweat pants and sweat shirts. With the hot weather it didn't go over so well. Also on Wednesday, it was the in- troduction of the queen candidates. There was a short assembly to show the students whom they would be voting for later on in the week. The ten candidates were Barbie Hill, Karen Killen, Mary Han- sen, Michele Petersen, Jodi Petersen, Sharon Petersen, Judy Robinson, and Judy Muhr. 4 V The EHS students get psyched up at the bonfire for Homecoming. 2) The Queen and her court: LuAnn J. — Lady of the Court, Karen K.
