Juniors awarded best decorated car Tracy Curtland and Kip Maggert were crowned homecoming queen and king during halftime of the Prairie Heights game. Crowning was done by the 1984 royal couple, Rob Knott and Tammy Wellhausen. Class of 1987 won best decorated car honors for the third year. Renna Mathews, senior high student council treasurer, presented the plaque to her classmates. Homecoming football fans, although disappointed in the outcome, got their money’s worth in the 17-14 football battle between the Railroaders and Prairie Heights in which the Pan- thers scored the winning touchdown with only 54 sec- onds remaining. Members of the royal court were seniors Paula McFann and Lance Dills; ju- niors Lori Kobiela, Todd = ,? J ne Richmond, Kacy Shafer, and Mike Harrah; sophomores Tammy Bodey, Mark Clax- ton, Robyn Clauss, and Joel Haynes; freshmen Shelly Lantz, Jerry Egolf, Teresa Wiant, and Jeff Barry. Homecoming ceremonies began with a parade of king and queen candidates in their decorated class cars through downtown Garrett to Memorial Field. Following the candidates were their support Cars. However, there was ‘“more than meets the eye” when Tracy was crowned queen. As student council president she was among several coun- cil members who had spent hours planning and staging the event, and so elevation to royalty was a real delight for her. Tracy exclaimed, “I was really surprised.” —Renna Matthews HOME OF THE j S a ‘ ’ i. ey GA ; a .% aS ty i “ ee» : i Football Homecoming Court—Front Row—Freshmen Jerry Egolf, Shelly Bodey; Queen Tracy Curtland; King Kip Maggert; juniors Todd Richmond, Lantz, Teresa Wiant, Jeff Barry.
