Homecoming ii WflByths and Magic was the theme for Laingsburg's 1984 homecoming. The announcement of the- King and Queen candidates and their court at the pep assembly on September 28, 1984 started the magic flowing. Five King candidates and five Queen candidates were chosen by the Senior class. The court was composed of underclassmen, two boys and two girls from each class. Besides the excitement of Spirit week, homecoming was filled with heavy campaigning by the managers of the candidates. Campaigning started Monday, October 7, 1984. Signs decorated the halls of LHS, as peo- ple shouted for their favorite can- didate. Friday, October 12, 1984 was the final day of the festivities. Peo- ple walked around like billboards, wearing the variety of colorful but- tons. At 2:20 p.m., students assem- bled in the gym to hear the mana- ger's speeches. At 6:30 p.m. on Friday, the home- coming parade left the Middle School parking lot and made its way through downtown Laingsburg for all to see. The freshman float featured a witch using her magic to Stew the Shamrocks. Riding the float were court members Lisa Burt, Jami Shaw, Tim Bolles and Ken Hartig. The sophomores used the Myths and Magic theme into a protrayal of King Arthur's Sword and the Stone. Representing the 10th grade was Car- rie Buss, Lori Chrenka, Jimmy Shaw, and Greg Hutchings.
