 Homecoming 1986 was something to cheer about. Although Iowa Park tied Springtown with a score of 14 to 14, the students en- thusiasm and the events leading up to homecoming made homecom- ing weekend a huge success. Kicking off the homecoming weekend was a bonfire which was held in the vacant lot next to Ken's Pizza. Cheerleaders, pep squad, band and football players were all present. The lot was filled with peo- ple as the football players started the bonfire and the band played the fight song. The traditional homecoming parade was held at 4:30 Fri- day afternoon. The theme of the parade was Hawks — A Texas Tradition, as it tied in with the sesquicentennial year. The state championship football team of 1969 was a feature entry. The crown- ing of homecoming queen Lana Swan began at 7:30 p.m. before the kick off of the game. Other candidates for homecoming queen were Wendy Trantham, Tina Escue and Kerri Richardson. After the game Friday night, a homecoming dance was held and sponsored by the Optimist Club for all high school students. And topping it all off was Whoop-T-Do on Saturday, which helped make homecoming weekend one of our busiest and most successful weekends of the year. 14 HOMECOMING '86

Much Ado About. . . Whoop-T-Do Whoop-T-Do 1986 was a great success. In addition to all the regular booths, there was an old- fashioned costume contest, baking and canning goods judging, and even a fried okra cookoff, which Robert Palmer was declared winner of. Entertainment was provided by the Iowa Park Band and stage band, high school and junior high school choirs, show choir, and the Dynamites Dance Team, pictured below. Even though Saturday's Whoop-T-Do activities were cut short by two hours because of a bomb threat, it was still considered to be one of the most successful in years.
