Thursday brought on class competition day on the football field, Friday night was the game, and Saturday night couples dressed up for the dance. The annual community pep rally on Thursday night saw the bleachers filled to capacity. Highlighting the week was the crowning of king Scott Lazzarotto and queen Penny Corpus that night to reign over the game and dance. Red-and-white day on Friday found the student body, faculty, and administration forming a HALL 87 in Nesti Stadium for the yearbook title page. A hard-fought game found the Devils coming up short 14-8 against Kewanee. Climaxing the week was the Homecoming dance in the Red Devil gym. Couples danced and enjoyed the music of “Missing 51.” The evening ended as couples went their special ways. 10 HOMECOMING

Anderson, Baima crowned Little Abner, Daisy Mae at Sadie ’86 A strange transformation took place on November 14. The Hall gymnasium was magically turned into Dogpatch, U.S.A. Under the direction of Mrs. Kusek, members of the sophomore class worked at a feverish pace to get ready for the Friday night affair. Crepe paper in fall colors was artistically twisted and placed in the gym lobby. Art students painted a background, bales of hay were borrowed, and a rail fence constructed for the Sadie photos. Couples spent the night getting married by Marrin’ Sam and Samantha, Kevin Heitz and Jennifer Kurtz; having their Saciie picture taken; dancing to the music of “Ruckus”; and just plain relaxing. Dogpatch deputies were kept busy arresting those who were carrin' on and not legally hitched. With the announcement of John Baima as Lil’ Abner and Crystal Anderson as Daisy Mae, the night soon came to an end. The last couple was married, the last photo taken, and the last song played. Sadie '86 became a fond memory. 12 SADIE
