“■ HOMECOMING ‘7 felt honored and proud to repre- sent our high school as the 1984 H omecoming Queen — for me, this will be my most memorable experience. ” Kim Key Thursday night a spark of emot ion escaped from the bonfire, and was carried on into Friday night’s game and Saturday’s Dance. The spark of emotion was Homecoming Weekend. As the Gales rolled to a 35-8 victory over Toledo Bowsher, the fog rolled to a victory over the game. An omniscient fog quietly crept onto Fulton Field and, by the fourth quarter, visibility had become so bad the field could not be seen from the press box, stands or sidelines. Unable to see the game, the announcers stopped keeping time and score. This caused the fans to believe that the game had been called, but in reality it was played in its entirety. The game will go down in history as the “fog bowl. Saturday, the fog dissipated and the romance began. Russell Carey of Q-FM- 96 supplied the music for the Homecoming Dance, as the couples could be seen “Dancing in the Dark.” Love and laughter filled the beige, blue and burgundy cafeteria, as the over 300 in attendance enjoyed the 1984 Homecoming. The whole weekend was started with a strike of a match at Thursday night’s bonfire. Students attended a pep rally in the stadium followed by the bonfire. Homecoming Queen was Kim Key, escorted by Jeff Brown. Attendants were: Senior Debbie Aucreman, escorted by Matt Petty; Junior Gwen Myers, escorted by Chuck Cave; and Sophomore Kim Rosser, escorted by Dan Crawford. “A Toast to the Gales” was the winning slogan on the Seniors first place float. Sophomores finished second and the Juniors were third with the first Generic float. 30 LHS Is Homecoming

LHS Is. Jjancin’ in the Dark “Dancin’ in the Dark” met its competition head on, drawing over 300 people. Its competition, the closing night of the fair, may have drawn some attention, but the Homecoming Dance, held October 13 at 8:00 p.m., was a memorable event few wanted to miss. The dance was a fun evening not only for alumni returning to their alma mater but also for current LHS students. Music for the dance was provided by DJ Russell Carey of Q-FM 96. Mr. Carey played a wide selection of dance music which ranged from the latest soft rock to standard rock, and even a bit of hard rock for the extra enthusiastic. Aside from the display of LHS students’ dancing abilities, other traditional events took place such as the introduction of Homecoming Queen Kim Key and her escort Jeff Brown. Following the introduction, . . a memorable event few wanted to miss Queen Kim was presented several gifts from local merchants and the student body. Top: Mr. Burgess presents Homecoming Queen Kim Key with a gift, as she is equally excited to begin her evening with escort Jeff Brown.
