First sophomore ever reigns over Football Homecoming As the leaves on the trees surrounding Memorial Field changed colors, cool breezes rushing through them created an atmosphere of ‘““Autumn Whispers’’ for Football Homecoming. For the first time ever, a sophomore was selected Queen. Deb Zerns reigned over the Oct. 1 festivities with King Pete Bowman, senior. For the first time in three years, Class of ’83 did not win “‘best deco- rated car” honors. That distinction went to the juniors with their stylishly jazzed-up wheels. Car competition between classes was fierce; it was reported that students were even peeking through garage win- dows to check out opposing vehicles dur- 10 Football Homecoming ing the week preceding Homecoming. Candidates for Homecoming King and Queen, nominated by classmates, were seniors Lori Bowman, Jenney McPheeters, Pete Bowman, and Mike Col- gate; juniors Mary Hile, Patty Hile, Mark George, and Doug Shippy; sophomores Tammy Wellhausen, Deb Zerns, John Bo- dey, and Rob Knott; and freshmen Dixie Helmick, Gina Seigel, Sean Ferry, and Greg Velpel. Student Council sponsored the halftime crowning ceremonies and the traditional dance following the Railroaders’ disap- pointing 18-14 loss to West Noble.

Basketball Homecoming succeeds without theme Basketball Homecoming, sponsored by Student Council on Jan. 28, offered the- meless festivities on a snowless night. Even without a theme, decorations in the Bateman Gym were as attractive as ever. Halftime crowning activities began with the introduction of King and Queen candi- dates: freshmen Doreen Zolman and Tom Firks, sophomores Julieanne Johnson and Joe Talley, juniors Patti Kleber and Scott Mason, and seniors Sandy Sparks, Eric Mossberger, Deanna Wappes, Mark Bow- man, Twylia Emigh, and Jay Johnson. The climax came with the announcement that Eric and Twylia were the new King and Queen. Twylia received her crown from Lena Sorensen, 1982 Queen, while Greg Bock, reigning King, presented a plaque to Eric. An exciting second half of basketball action ended with the Railroaders on the short end of a 57-56 battle to the last minute against Fremont. Despite the loss, GHS students were in good spirits for the traditional Homecoming dance in the Ober Auditorium. The band “‘Byte”’ pro- vided music for about 170 dancers.
