Catch the wave Sophomore prince Brian Orr and princesses Lmdy McAfee and Mia Vargas Paquette, Whisenhunt win crown Stasi Backsheider Sports editor The exciting week of homecoming came to a climax with the Coronation Ceremony. Brenda Paquette and Kelvin Whisenhunt were crowned King and Queen. “I was very surprised and didn’t believe that it was my name that was called.'' Whisenhunt said. I was happily surprised, because all of the candidates were well deserving,” Paquette said. In the crowning of sophomore princess, there was an unusual occurence. A tie took place between Lindy McAfee, and Mia Vargas. Brian Orr was crowned sophomore prince. Max Craft student council sponsor, didn't think the tie caused any difficulties. “It wasn’t a problem. It just made it a little more challenging to pull it off and still keep it a secret.” Craft said. Dawn Davisand K.C. Smith were crowned Junior Princess and Prince. Smith was unable to participate in the Coronation Ceremony because he plays football. How did he feel while he was in the locker room during half time while he knew the coronation was going on? I really wasn’t thinking about it. All my intentions were focused on the game.” Smith Sfiid. “The Homecoming game itself went astonishingly well By the end of the first quarter the score was 40 to 0 in J.C.’s favor. By the end of the game it was 40 to 22. still with Junction City having the dominate score “It felt great, but the only problem was that after the first quarter they took the varsity players out and we didn’t get much playing time after practicing so hard,” Andrew Jackson, said. The theme of the dance was “Catch the Wave. Drown the Trojans.” Over 20 kids and two sponsors worked for eight hours on and off Saturday afternoon to pull this dance off. “It was the most help I had on any dance ever, Craft said. The dance seemed to go successfully and people seemed to stay longer. The dance didn’t take it’s self too seriously and that's what made it work. Some dances take their decorations and themes too seriously. People lost their inhabitions toward the middle of the dance and decided to let loose. said Cindi Pratt, 87. The decorations were on the line of a beach scene. They consisted mostly of coconuts and palm trees and signs. Dancing to music provided by Karle Woodward.

Undergoing role reversal Senior team proves superior on football field, defeats juniors24-8 Trish Mathis DPS editor Breakdown Seniors!” “Breakdown Juniors!” These words could be heard for blocks around Fifth Street Park during the month of October. Junior and senior girls were fired up and preparing for Filly Football “86 The original date of October 25 was changed due to rain and cold weather. When the girls finally did suit up for the game in their custom made jerseys, they'd extra practice and were well prepared for the event. It was November 4. a chilly night with a slight breeze and a threat of rain. The senior girls took the field full of positive energy. They were warming up when the junior girls came onto the field chanting “Juniors, Juniors OHH AHH!’“ The seniors stopped and watched as the underclassmen confidently began their flawless sit-ups and toe-touches. A glimmer of doubt shone in the eyes of the senior team. They knew the juniors were prepared to fight. Finally—what everyone had been waiting for—the referees came onto the field. LET THE GAME BEGIN! The match started out slowly with very few yards compiled by either offense in the first quarter. The second quarter began, and senior running back Michelle Williams began to show her true colors. The first touchdown of the evening was executed by Williams, who was handed off to by quarterback, Tami Burch. That was just the beginning of a senior grip on the lead that lasted till the end. Half-time activities began with a routine from the J-Stompers-the male equivalent to the J-Steppers Drill Team. Five guys danced and kicked to I Can’t Wait by Nu Shooz Roars of laughter and claps of approval came from the largest filly football crowd turnout in years. Next the Filly Football Royalty Candidates and their escorts lined up on the track. Senior. Larry Forsyth was crowned king and was taken for a ride in a royally decorated shopping cart. Mike Rothfuss, junior, and Rob Wright, sophomore, were named as Forsyth's Court. Other candidates included Rob Smith and Ken Schmidt, seniors, Steve Selock and Todd Nabus, juniors, and Lance Dixon and Chuck Zimmerman, sophomores. Light rain began to fall and the senior team went to make three more touchdowns in the third quarter. This left the score at 24-0 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. In a desperate attempt to put points on their side of the scoreboard, the junior team illegally suited up Todd Nabus. their coach, and placed him in the game. He took the place of Julie Ganz. running back, and went on to make the underclassmen only touchdown of the evening as well as their two extra points.
