BEAUTY KNOWS NO LIMIT As the Decatur fans made their way to Hawk Stadium, they saw the rem- nants of the pre-game festivities; bal- loons, candy, ribbons, and streamers were scattered throughout the streets. Multitudes of people were preparing for the big Homecoming game. The football teams were psyching up, the bands were warming up, the cheerleaders were jumping up, and the Homecoming Queen nominees were dressing up. The evening began as the four beau- ties were escorted by their fathers to their locations. The 1987 Queen can- didates were Stacy Boren, Christy Cravens, Missy Gossett, and Angie Martin. Each was nominated by the Senior Class and then the honored title was decided upon by the entire student body. Time seemed to stand still as the crowd awaited the announcement. The momen- tous occasion arrived when Stacy Boren was announced as the 1987 Homecoming Queen. Miss Boren's high school accomplish- ments were: two years of cheerleading and one as head cheerleader; two years of pep squad; one year of Quill and Scroll; four years varsity track, where she made it to Region in the 400 and 800 meter relays; and three years of basketball, one of which was on the varsity team. She was also involved in one year of choir; and one year of Journalism. She was a two-year member of National Honor Society, in which she served as parliamentarian her senior year; Student Council for three years; and the senior class secretary. The 1987 Homecoming Court consisted of Christy Cravens. Missy Gossett. Angie Martin, and Stacy Boren. 12 Homecoming
