SS Ve a 2. a CONFUSION precedes parade “We had to rush around and put flowers that fell off back on the car ten minutes before the parade started at Yoder Ford,” junior homecoming candidate Carson Claxton said. A two-car collision in the mid- dle of the homecoming parade route added to the confusion for 1988 homecoming candidates. Mrs. Darlene Bockelman, Stu- dent Council sponsor, said, “My first thought when | heard about the crash was that the parade would be late, and we wouldn't make it to the game on time. Then | thought, ‘| hope no one got hurtl’” During halftime of the Garrett DeKalb varsity football game seniors Teresa Wiant and Jerry Egolf were crowned 1988 homecoming queen and king. Teresa commented, “As | walked across the field, all | could think about was tripping and falling on my face.” Homecoming began with spir- it week during which students dressed for college day, rainbow day, and maroon and blue pride day. Friday student council members worked diligently sorting sweetheart flowers and balloons to be passed out in hon- or of homecoming. That evening candidates rode in their class’s decorated cars in a parade ending at the football field. Sophomore candidate Jeff Weaver said, ‘‘People really helped a lot with decorating the car, but they didn’t care about the outcome. They just wanted to have a good time.” Following candidate introductions, reigning queen and king Tammy Bodey and Lance Baughman presented a crown and engraved homecom- ing bracelet to Teresa while Jer- ry received a bracelet. Student council member Julie Wolf pre- sented the best car award to the junior class. Other members of the court were Lori Hunter, Jim Delauder, Nichole Myers, Carson Claxton, Tonya Lampe, Zak Shafer, Karalee Slabaugh, Jeff Weaver, Catina Hart, Rob Smith, Jonelle Coyer, Mike Helmick, Sarah Bigelow, and Ryan Craft. “It was a fun experience, but real chaos getting everything done,” freshman Jonelle Coyer commented. A dance after the game fea- tured the homecoming theme, “Hold Onto the Night.” —Tina Carlin

We See Them Enough at Home!” arents ... you can’t live with them, you can’t live without them. How would you like to go to school with them? There are several students at GHS whose parents teach here. Although it can be convenient, it has its bad points as well. “My dad can help me with my science homework after school when | need him, but sometimes people harass me when he disci- plines them in class,” senior Lori a Hunter said. Senior Michele Baker said, “It’s nice having my mom here when | forget my lunch money!” There are negative aspects to Mini-Mag having a parent nearby, such as, “My mother hears all the gossip about my friends at school. | like the fact that I don’t have to ride the bus to school though,” senior Beth Lemper commented. “It’s alright having my dad here when I need the car, but, on the other hand, it’s generic when he finds out everything that happens to me,” senior Teresa Wiant. “It’s especially difficult having your own son in class,” Mr. Ron- ald Weimer said, “I’m not here for my child. When | had Dean in class, | was more strict with him that with the rest of the stu- dents.” oS Bristol Lar ® Greentown 13 4 grloc (26) e O oO @, | Alay arttlris “Foreign Relations ... id-week many GHS M students find them- selves counting the hours until the weekend for obvi- ous reasons such as boredom, lack of enthusiasm for homework, and a need for sleep. For some students, however, weekends are the only time they can see that special someone from another school. “At times it can be difficult dating someone from another school because you miss them a lot while you’re apart,” senior Brad Przemielewski said. Junior Valerie Francis com- mented, “When you date a guy you don’t see every day at | Fremont Poxagon (120) OL Sr. Pk. = eneva AG New © g Corydon JJ school, it decreases the chances of getting sick of them.” Another pro for inter-scholastic dating is that, “When you finally see your girlfriend you make ev- ery moment count since you know you won't see them for a while,” senior Ed Placencia said. On the down side, “Some peo- ple give me a hard time about dating someone from a rival school, saying that I’m a traitor,” freshman Emily Hollinger said. In any case, dating people from other schools is popular. ‘“Every- one does it,” senior Brett Cramer said, “It’s a great way to keep up foreign relations!”
