Students Cry Rain, Rain Go Away At Homecoming Changes were evident in this year ' s Homecoming festivities. A serious elec- trical storm put a damper on Friday night ' s game therefore making it impos- sible for the traditional activities to take place. On Saturday the skies cleared and the gridders took to the field only to face a tenacious Bomber defense which prevented the Kougar team from scor- ing. Sophomores took control of Spirit Week with an outstanding performance in the week ' s events. On Monday, stu- dents donned their hats and shades to get the action rolling. Although the Toma convocation on Tuesday pre- vented student participation in the Spirit Week celebrations, they showed their pride again on Wednesday by coming to school dressed in Hawaiian clothes. This was followed by Thursday ' s Hippie and Woodstock Day and finally Friday ' s Red and White Day. Also included in Friday ' s activities was a pep session attended by both the high school and the middle school. On Thursday night the Seniors pulver- ized the Juniors, 34-0. Senior Lisa McCarty had two touchdowns along with two interceptions. Tracy Brock also added two T.D.

Jennifer Perry stated, The team learned to work to- gether to win. The Seniors were coached by Doug Greenlee Tonya Price. The Juniors were under the direc- tion of Al Hendon Paula Wellmaker. Following the game the traditional bon- fire was cancelled due to the weather. This forced the teams to move their celebrations to Pizza King. Due to the varsity postponement, the queen crowning was held in the cafete- ria during the dance. After a brief pro- cession through the cafeteria, 1985 queen Barb Myers had the distinct hon- or of crowning her younger sister, Kelly, the new queen. Moments afterward the court and the representatives from each class danced to Words Get In the Way by Miami Sound Machine which was played by D.J. TNT. The court consisted of seniors Nicki Barger escorted by Chris Walstra, Tonia Parker assisted by Ron Belstra, and Amy Serhal escorted by Tim Lorenzen. The queen was escorted by Dave Brown.

Sunshine Society Entertains 188; Silver Bells Enchant Winter Night Sunshine Society ' s semi-formal dance was held on December 13. Red stream- ers, glittering stars, and pointsettias transformed the high school cafeteria into a winter wonderland highlighted by Silver Bells. A silver Christmas tree adorned with red and silver bells greeted the guests in the entryway. Dancing to the beat of TNT ' s platters was the main activity of the evening. Simple, but tasty refreshments were served at the dance. Sunshine Society purchased a decorated sheet cake to go along with the punch and cookies. Tables were set up at the dance for those couples who might want to sit out a dance or chat with friends. Tables were covered with white tablecloths and decorated with streamers and poinset- tias. Pictures were taken by Lovasko Stu- dio from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Memories of a moonlit evening were captured on film before a country scene featuring a deer standing beside a snowy path. Pictures ranged in price from $9 to $38. Officers and sponsors felt that a change needed to be made concerning the eligibility of each sunshine girl at- tending the Christmas dance. In order to attend the dance, every girl had to earn eight points. Points were earned by at- tending meetings, selling cheese and sausage, going to the Halloween party, and decorating for the dance. Although the officers were very strict on these re- quirements, 94 couples attended the three hour activity. Many couples be- gan the evening by traveling to near-by restaurants for a special dinner. Plans for the dance were orchestrat- ed by the club officers and sponsors, Mrs. Slaby and Mrs. Eckert. Chaperones for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Price, Mrs. Slaby, Mr. and Mrs. Eckert, and Mr. McEwan. Romance is in the air for Juniors, Shaun Fitzpatrick and Pam Hurt, who had a great time during Silver Bells. Pam ' s dress was one of many beautiful tea lengths purchased for the night at Susie ' s Casuals. Waiting patiently for pictures at the 1 986 Sun- shine Dance are Junior Marcia Eenigenburg and Senior Tom Brodner. Proving that years of dancing to the radio have not gone to waste Sophomore Monica Edwards gets down to the beat of TNT. 10 Sunshine Dance
