The ingenuity and time spent on the floats was apparent. The Speech department made a Pac-Man-like float, but they called it Yak-Man. The sophomore class had a large trailer covered with posters and red, white, and blue helium balloons. It seemed like the whole com- munity was also celebrating. Purple ribbons decorated mail boxes along streets leading to the school. The JV police escorted the parade while the JV fire truck carried the junior varsity cheerleaders through the parade which ended at a night-time pep rally. It was Saturday, October 1, 1983, Home- coming Night, as a purple and yellow chain Draped in purple, yellow and white streamers, seniors jeff Boyd, Susan Lacorte and julie Geveslzausen ride in Valerie Crowleyk jeep declaring their Falcon spirit. 5,4 , ...- iq . . .,7, .1 ,W be .4-II V. , I A , ' V .

Streamers of red, white and blue and purple and yellow decorated the stands with colorful balloons in correspondence with the school theme, Up, Up and Away on the Wings of America. Bells tinkled as girls with huge mums leaned forward to get a better look at the half-time activities. Spirit was high because JV was leading Scar- borough 17 to 7. The Gold Dusters glided across the field spreading their wing-like skirts to the bear of Parada del Sol. As the band serenaded the Homecoming queen candidates, the Gold Dusters formed a circle for them. Nominees walked with their fathers as their names were announced with their accomplishments and future plans. The Homecoming queen for 1983 is . . . Lisa Benge, said the announcer. It was funny, laughed Lisa. When I walked out on to the field, my dad and I didn't know where to stand because I missed the practice session because of cheerleading practice. Smiling she said, And when they named the queen, the band got louder, so I could not hear who was the winner. I didn't realize I had won until everybody started running toward me. Although JV lost the game, fans took pride in the fact that the Gold Dusters danc- ed energetically, the JV band and Drum Corps performed flawlessly, and a new queen was crowned. f tii'i fff Ti f .Q N , ' as ...,.f we v - M Wa . c ,..,, . ,.,, , , .
