Silk and satin, leather and lace, ties and tuxedos were seen on the dance floor, strut- ting their stuff to the stylish new sounds of DJ, Classe. A magical feeling arose as the Homecom- ing Court was announced. King Marc Bon- ner and Queen Mouk Thammavongsa were then called upon to complete the festivities and to honor us by dancing the first slow- dance.

Spirit Dives On ou find yourself surrounded by shrieking teenagers wearing brightly colored sun-glasses, broad rimmed hats, and with nose kote smeared across their maliciously grinning faces. The sound of slip- pers scuffing across the hallway echoes loud- ly ... your heart suddenly skips a beat when Marc Bonner dashes past you in a pink night- gown! You watch bewilderedly as hundreds of helpless souls, with the misconception that they are in Ancient Greece, scurry by in their bedsheets, and all the while you are dodging savage teddy bears being waved in your face. You become rather frightened — has the school gone mad??? Have your worst night- mares come true???YES!! It was Spirit Week, the week preceeding Homecoming of 1985, and all self-respect was lost as the wild students compiled their energies in preparation for one of the liveliest weekends of the year. The best was yet to come —- an extended lunch on Friday served time for an exciting pep rally. Student partici- pation and enthusiasm was at an all time high; everyone wanted to see the Komets ‘‘Singe The Centaurians.” 6:00 p.m., Friday night, October 18th: The drum roll began — the band marched proudly into the stands. Every- thing was a blur of maroon and white and the music resonated, intermingling with the rest- less and excited cries of the raving crowd. The turnout was incredible, not only by cur- rent students but by devoted Alumni players, old and young, eager to cheer their descen- dant team onto victory, along with the 40 some Alumni Cheerleaders. The crowd be- came attentive for the kickoff, and then the screams ripped through the Stadium for the first two quarters of the game. Halftime entertainment the floats rounded the bend — decked with maroon, silver, and white balloons and a cheerful mob of Juniors. The float, “Heaven in ’87,” quickly took first prize. After they had set free their huge “K” to dominate the sky, “Cloud 9,” floated by in their trail with the Seniors and took second place prize for their picturesque interpretation of a heavenly paradise. Tension mounted until the Court was finally an- nounced and the crowns were placed careful- ly on the heads of the happy winners. Every- one could then resume watching the game as well as begin dreaming about Saturday night, and deciding what shoes to wear that would be most comfortable to dance in the whole 12 STUDENT LIFE night through. Sincere effort and fellow support was more than evident in the teams Homecoming challenge against University City High. Even though we didn’t win, it was a victory for Kearny on the parts of all those involved in any way. The team played with great dedica- tion and enthusiasm and will long be recog- nized as one of Kearny’s outstanding teams. Homecoming is over now, and is but a time to be remembered — yet another fond high school memory eternally implanted in your mind. You will sort through them some- day and recall those ridiculous looking man- lacs running through the hall in their beach and bedtime garb, and think proudly ... you were then you were there YOU WERE ONE OF THEM!!!
