MAGICAL SPIRITS A mood of celebration and re- membrance filled the air. Home- coming week started Monday, Sep- tember 25th, with backwards and in- side-out day. Students wore jeans, shirts, and a variety of other items backwards and inside-out. Wednes- day was No sweat to a Lion Victory day. Students showed their school spirit by wearing every variety of sweats one could imagine. Friday was the traditional purple and white day, along with hats off day. The colors of our school were proudly displayed by purple sweatshirts, and purple and white tennis shoe strings. Any kind of hat one could imagine was found on the heads of faithful Lion fans. Leo painter hats, cowboy hats, and baseball caps were very popular. On Wednesday night the annual powder puff game between the ju- niors and the seniors took place. The experienced seniors rallied over a tough junior squad to come out the winner. After a week of spirit and crazi- ness, the night of Homecoming ' 83 finally arrived. As the Lion gates opened, fans packed in ready to cheer their Lions on to a victory over their rivals, the Woodlan Warriors. The game began, and the Lion team managed to score one touchdown, putting Leo on top at the half. Soon the halftime festivities be- gan. The fioats bearing the theme A Magical Homecoming made their ways around the track. Of all the floats, the juniors ' fioat won first. The band and drill squad marched on to the field to make the tradition- al tunnel for the homecoming court to walk through. Next, after a mo- ment of nervous anticipation, the big moment arrived. Recieving the most votes, Cindy Bender was crowned homecoming queen by last year ' s queen, Tricia Tappy. The football game ended with a score of Woodlan 21, Leo 7. The loss didn ' t dampen the rowdiness, though, as Leo students moved to the gym and danced to the music of WXKE and Dr. West. Others ju; sat and refiected on the past by trac ing through their 1983 Oracles. ] Michelle Kie i One of the highlights of Homecoming is the crowning of the queen, Cindy Bender.
