Sue Hill Third In Family For H.C. Queen The 1984 Homecoming week was definitely one to remember. Almost every class decorated a float and had it in the parade. However, this year the windows uptown weren't painted. This year Spirit Week had a few changes. Sign Up Day was dropped and replaced by Toga Day. On Mon- day it was Shade and Hat Day. For this, everyone wore hats and their sunglasses. Tuesday was Toga Day. Each person was encouraged to wear a sheet as in the movie ANIMAL HOUSE. On Wednesday everybody donned cowboy boots and hats. This date was desig- nated Western Day. Thursday was the traditional Jer- sey Day when each girl wore a football boy's jersey. Later on that night was a pep rally and snake dance. It trailed to the dump where the bonfire was lit. Amy Schroeter commented, This year homecoming was different because it's my last one. Pamela Coglon also thought this year was different because, I was in the court and had a great date for the dance. Friday was the busy day. It was Dress up Day. Besides that, everyone was running around decorating and preparing. Early that morning student council members went to the cafeteria to decorate for the dance which was entitled Rock Me Tonite by Billy Squier of the Signs of Life album. 5 AUDUBON-EXIRA CO-OP

Exira Over O-M Later that afternoon the queen coronation was held with everyone waiting for the results. They were: Sue Hill was queen, Janelle Wolf was princess, Beth Hackwell was countess, Teresa Wheeler was duchess, and Pamela Cog- Ion was lady of the court. The parade uptown was after this. Then everyone went up to the peprally uptown at the park. This concluded the afternoon's activities. At 7:30 the game everyone was waiting for finally arrived, the football game against Orient-Macksburg. The Vikings gave it all they had and won. This great win really got the students excited. They looked forward to the dance later on. The band was Rose and they played from 9:00 until 12:30. By the end of the dance everyone was ready to go home and most of them would remember it for quite a while. The majority of the kids really enjoyed the whole week. The dance was open to many different views by the EHS students. Anne Taylor said, 1 didn't care for the band and I had never heard of them before. Joy Clemsen, Beth Hackwell, and Sheri Dennis thought they were really good and played great songs. 1 K AND J FEED AND SEED
