King Tomasic, and Queen Witzke crowned Oct. 11 {( 1 didn ' t think I had a chance of winning. I thought that every- one except me could of won, I know everyone deserved it. I was shocked and surprised, but I also felt really honored that all my classmates picked me.j — senior Jerry Tomasic As the tune of Lionel Richie ' s song, Truly finished its last chords, the crowd became sud- denly quieter as the voice of the announcer read the winners of the 1985 Homecoming King and Queen candi- dates. Diana Witzke and Jer- ry Tomasic were the victo- rious seniors. The crowd burst into ap- plause while several of the reigning cou- ple ' s friends gathered around to con- gratualte them. The process of chossing the King and Queen candi- dates took place one week prior to Home- coming night. The seniors who were chosen were: Heather Bart- lett, Kelly Grede, Barb Maglish, Lisa Sainato, Diana Witzke, Troy Grady, Ken Konopasek, John Lynk, Dave Ruiz, and Jerry Toma- sic. Throughout the week, anticipa- tion mounted as to whom the King and Queen would be. No one knew who would win but all hoped for the ones they gave their votes to. On Thursday night during the activities, a King and Queen candi- date competition was held to see just how much coordination each couple had. There was a race where the girls had to put some old clothes on the guys, then the guys had to jump in a wagon and the girls had to push them until they passed the finish line. Their coordination proved to be normal but their driving abilities . . . Once Friday night arrived, the environment was filled with an- ticipation. The band filed onto the field to do their halftime routine. The last song, Truly , was played while each couple walked down the middle of the football field. Little did anyone know that it was necessary to wait for the final cou- ple to be in place for the awaiting announcement because the final couple, Diana and Jerry, were the long anticipated King and Queen. I was very nervous and sick to my stomach. I couldn ' t wait for them to announce the queen. In a way I felt really sad because practi- cally everyone in the court I ' ve gone to school with my whole life and we all are really good friends and have a blast together. To think that it would be our last Home- coming was really depressing, said Queen Diana Witzke. I was really nervous standing in front of all those people but all my nervousness seemed to vanish after my name was announced, said King Jerry Tomasic.
