 Something new Homecoming, the word echoed through the halls of Kennedy. Homecoming held more meaning than just a ceremony. The definition of Homecoming was not narrowed to a celebration, a Coronation, or a football game. Homecoming defined abstract ideas, such as spirit and eagle power. Homecoming was people, pride, and tradition. Twenty plus years of tradition lent an aura of pomp and circumstance to the gala Coronation of King Steve Cronkhite and Queen Debbie Bauer. Due to storm damage the Coronation took place in the gymnasium of Jefferson Senior High. The change of venue didn’t seem to dampen enthusiasm as students, parents, faculty, and alumni attended the ceremony. Homecoming became a part of every student for one week. Whether it was your first Homecoming or your last. Everyone pitched in and made Homecoming special. It was that involvement, that unity that made the experience of Homecoming magic. Homecoming gave you the opportunity to proclaim that you were proud of your school, proud of your spirit, and proud of your tradition. Reflecting the visible difference of Kennedy Homecoming, King Steve Cronkhite and Queen Debbie Bauer glimmer behind the blue and gold robes infused with twenty-three years of tradition.

Your high school years consisted of much more than education. You had eighteen school-free hours every day. Of course that’s not to say life became anarchy after 2:05. You still had responsibilities. Homework, household jobs, and beauty sleep held priorities. The time you had left was your own. You were selective about how you spent it. For many, after school activities took precedent. Sports, theatre, and music groups all required dedication. And dedication required time. You worked to develop your talents. You also worked to develop your finances. As a high school student, you were hit by the harsh reality that things cost money. Whether you were working for a car, an education, or to pay your Daytons charge, your job was a big part of your life. The rest of your time could be blissfully unstructured. You spent your evenings in a variety of ways-from skateboarding to watching movies. Or just talking with special friends. Along with high school came a new sense of independence. Planning your own time made you appreciate the things you did. It made a difference in your attitude-you were reaching out for the best things in life. At th« movies.
