Hom , home on the reign Homecoming week filled with various activities What really is homecoming? To senior Craig Cline, Homecoming was a special event to share with someone you care a lot about. Junior Debbie Bailey said, Homecoming provides many activities in which every student may be involved. However, senior Kolby Keeling answered, a time to spend a lot of money! Students had different ideas, but all agreed that it was an exciting week! During the week, homerooms com- peted against each other in spirit chain competition, buying links for 3 cents. Coach Mike Pringle's homeroom won with an average of S7 per person. The three classes also competed against each other in the traditional hall decorating contest. Breaking a senior winning streak, the juniors won with the theme of Viking Dreamland. Upon arriving at the pep rally, students found the gym overcrowded with the retum ofthe exes. Many seniors appeared in children's Halloween costumes as their dress for the morning. Teachers performed in a skit starring E.T. talias Frau Ruth Buechleinj as the hero of the Vikings. Finally the big night arrived! Because of a flooded Cravens Field, the game was changed to UTA. Students arrived at the football game dressed up and anxious for the evening to get going. At halftime, the homecoming court had its traditional march onto the field. Everyone listened closely as Kris Moritz was announced as the 1982 Homecoming queen. After the crowning was completed, the court marched off the field and the game continued. The Vikes, however, could not pull off a win, and lost the game 24-7 to L.D. Bell. Most students went out to dinner and then on home, ending the week-long excitement of Homecoming. Showered by confetti, Jeff Ballow, Matt Krzysiak, and Robert Frakes leave the gym after the pep rally. Some football players commented that there was an added pressure to win the Homecoming game since they were playing Bell, who was undefeated.
