a An evening I will remember On October 15, 1982 a Riley tradition was carried out. This year the annual homecoming game was played against Elkhart Me- morial. The stands were full of dedicated fans who withstood the cold to watch the evening ' s events. During half-time the homecoming queen and her court were announced. Each girl was individually introduced along with her escort. I stood there try- ing to remember to smile and pretend I wasn ' t cold, reflected Kelly Woods. The girls had many differ- ent reasons for selecting their escorts. Homecom- ing was a special occasion and I wanted to share that with someone special, re- marked Debbie Stroop. The court consisted of 11 girls and their escorts: Kel- ly Woods (Tom Warner), Debbie Stroop (Bobby Bonk), Sue Rogers (Erik Mailing), Julie Johnson (Tim Gavin), Varena Town- send (John Binion), Shelia Flint (Mike Seradski), Cheri Gustin (Chris Jordan), An- gie Boykins (Jeff Camp- bell), Stephanie Hoch- stetler (Dan Hennessy), Linda McClurg (John Leap), and Donna Swover- land (Todd Lehmann). The position of queen was awarded to Melanie Rowe. I felt it was a great hon- or, reflected Melanie. When I was told I was queen, I was really sur- prised. Following the game a dance was held in the Jack- son Middle school gym. It was neat to have the whole school participating in something, remembered Tammy Moore ' 84, we don ' t have dances very of- ten and it ' s fun to get to- gether. Many things made up homecoming and for each individual homecoming meant something different. For Debbie Stroop ' 83 It was an evening I will never forget. Twelve girls were selected from the Senior class as possible queens for the 1982 homecom- ing. One girl was chosen from the twelve to be queen. Greg Elin ' 83, along with a famil- iar face, helped to lead the fans in school spirit at the homecom- ing football game. Student Life 23
