Homecoming plans Week includes activities for all students It was a time of excitement as the student council planned another Spirit Week for Homecoming. Throughout the week students had the chance to participate in many activities. 50's day, new wave day, nerd day, and the traditional color day were some of the ways students could dress up and show their style. Halls and banners were decorated. The cheerleaders put together games, and during the noon hour many students competed. On Friday afternoon the parade began with the band leading the way, followed by a variety of floats that were decorated by the classes and different organizations. After the parade, everyone gathered on the court house lawn for a pep rally. Even after a loss to Atchison at the game, students were excited for the dance that followed. Harry Arnold said, Homecoming was a fun time for me because everyone was having fun at the game and at the dance. It could have been better if we would have won the football game.'' Even though not everyone participated, students had a good time during Spirit Week. Sophomore Susan Kirkendall said, Homecoming was a lot of fun for me. My best friend came back, and I met a guy that I really liked. I don't see how it could have been better, unless it would have lasted longer. The band leads the way during the Homecoming parade. A crowd gathers on the court house lawn to watch a skit during the pep rally.

Homecoming royalty Dream becomes reality for homecoming. It was super cold, and I was freezing. I remember none of us were sure where to stand, so we kinda just scooted over to make room for everybody. Then came the big moment! I couldn't believe it. I go, Brian, where do I go? Brian said, I don't know. Go stand by David, I guess. It was a very happy evening. Homecoming '85 is a time I won't ever forget. ... by Angie Huebner On that Friday, it was like living in a dream world. I was trying to keep my mind on Homecoming was an occasion to celebrate. I felt very honored and surprised. I never pictured myself standing among the candidates for The FaHs City High Marching Band performs at halftime before the Homecoming ceremonies begin. Homecoming royalty announced at halftime were Shannon Shaffer, Donnie Slice, Queen Angie Huebner, King David Merz, Barb tape, and Brian Kirkendall. Candidates lining up for the parade were Barb Lape and David Merz, top right; Brian Kirkendall and Angie Huebner, bottom right; Donnie Slice and Shannon Shaffer, right. Angie and David the game more than halftime, but it was hard because in fifth hour I got roses from my mom and sister. It was a special day for everyone. After they anfiounced my name, I was surprised I got it. I thought it felt good because my mother was queen when she was in high school. I remember standing there with Angie right in front of all my friends, some of whom were making faces at me. That moment is possibly the greatest I've ever experienced. ... by David Merz 8 Homecoming
