Lunching students, Darlene Campbell, Lanita Davis, Charles Brooks. Greg Hornsby, and Shawn Nealy, (ill their trays to the top. Closed It’s a lunchroom jam! No longer were students allowed to walk across the street and patronize McDonald's. Circle K. Friches. or the many vendors waiting patiently along the sidewalk. These changes came about because of the numerous com- plaints from concerned parents and angry motorists to the School Board Another minor reason was the trash problem spread over the campus, which has improved but is still a concern. 26 Student Lite

“A Night on the Town,” was the theme for the 1985 Homecoming Dance which marked the end of Homecoming week. After a victorious win by the Lions over Plant City High School the night before, the students and faculty of King High School, all dressed to a tee, entered the gym in awe. Beautifully decorated with red. black, and white balloons, the at- mosphere was perfect for A night on the Town. The evening started off with dancing and conversation. Shy at first, most students met and talked with their friends. But as the night progressed, just about everyone was dancing to to- day's top hits, which were provided by a professional Disc Jockey. The high point of the night came with the announcement of the runners-up and the King and Queen. The results pleased everyone, and after the announcements everyone danced and celebrated. Finally the dance came to an end. It had turned out to be a fantastic even- ing for all, definitely one not to be forgotten. One could say of Homecom- ing 1985, It was like a night on the town. Meredith Trapp Fourth runners-up: Molissa Lott and Kenny Dupree. Third runners-up: Laura Bussman and Lonnie Mathis. Student Lite 25

To compensate for this loss of privileges, two electronic message boards were added to keep students up to date, and inspire school spirit. To accommodate the influx of students to the lunchroom, the ad- ministration added outside tables, a snackbar, and two more lunches to the lunch scene. The snackbar was added to give the students an option to the traditional full meal line, and is always swamped with students, at both the outside and inside stations. Seniors claimed the newly added sec- tion of the lunchroom as their own. Most students understand the changes, and said that the closed campus was not as bad as they ex- pected it to be. even though they preferred last year's arrangement bet- ter. Despite some students' questions, the administration held firm to their decision and did not re-open the campus. Debbie Akre Stixtent Lite 27
