Something to look forward to Music of the 80 ' s, whether it was new wave, rock, punk, or raga, filled the lives of many Riley students, es- pecially at the dances during the school year. Riley ' s dances provided memories of a pulsating beat to move to. I think the music at the dances was great be- cause they played a vari- ety for everyone, stat- ed Lynne Franklin ' 83. Some of the dances at Riley had themes, such as a 50 ' s dance spon- sored by the yearbook staff, a new wave dance sponsored by the news- paper staff, and a sock hop sponsored by the pom pon squad. If I could choose a theme for one of Riley ' s dances, I would prob- ably choose Soul, West- ern, or Toga, suggest- ed Kelly Freeman ' 85. The dances were usu- ally held after basketball or football games, giving UPPER RIGHT: Sunglasses, T-shirts, rolled up jeans, and grease help Brent Woodard ' 85 and Dave Dunlap ' 85 re- flect the tough guys of the fifties.

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
