Trainbusting All the activities of the week led up to the grand finale like fireworks on the fourth of July. Homecoming, the first major event of the school year was a continual tradition. Since 1968, every year for one week the typi- cally dressed students of Leo High School became as one may de- scribe, outrageously crazed in one-of-a-kind styles. Homecoming week was filled with hard work as well as excite- ment and homework. Most stu- dentsiound it hard to look as well at homework and even more ef- fort was required to finish assign- ments when little time was avail- able in which to finish them. Long before the week began, the hard work had already start- ed with the planning of the activi- ties. Two things which had to be settled early in the year were the Homecoming theme and the class competition categories. The excitement began Mon- day and lasted all week with the high points being the powder puff game on Wednesday, the dress- ing up of every day of the week, and of course, the game on Fri- day night. Last year ' s powder puff game was unlike others. The junior and senior powder puffers took this game very seriously and unnec- essary roughness became a big part of the game. The seniors came out the winners with a score of 36-12. Finally, the pep session on Fri- day consisted of the traditional cheerleaders ' skit, the revealing of the secret admirers, the rally of the football team, and the pre- sentation of the homecoming king, David Shaw. Being homecoming king, said David Shaw, was something I didn ' t expect, but it happened. Fortunately, the week ' s activi- ties and the spirit they generated paid off with the Lions ' win over the Garrett Railroaders on Friday night. Firing up the team and the crowd ' s spirit during the pep session, newly crowned king, David Shaw urges students to come and support the team against Garrett and gives praise to his classmates, the class of 1985. Being the typical nerds, Todd Harris and Rich Dellinger demonstrate what being a nerd is by wearing high waters, horn- rimmed glasses, and carrying loads of books A N Lifestyles — Homecoming Week

Lions Roar Over Garrett Winning isn ' t everything, but the victory over Garrett on Friday night helped make the 1984 Homecoming more thrilling. Homecoming! The sound of that word brought exceitment to the students, faculty, and staff at Leo. Last year ' s Homecoming, like all others, was a week long event, climaxing on Friday, Octo- ber 5, 1984. This was the day of the big gome. Last year, unlike the pre- vious two years, the Lions won. They defeated the Garrett Rail- roaders by a score of 21-6. This was definitly a boost to our school spirit. As Jami Carey put it, It ' s about time we won a Homecom- ing game! During halftime of the game, the winners of the class competi- tion were announced. The overall winners were: first place, seniors; second place sophomores; third place freshmen, and fourth place, juniors. Winners in the indi- vidual categories included the seniors for their skit, the sopho- mores for their gift, and the fresh- men for their float. The game, combined with the events afterwards, made Friday a big day. Before, during, and after the dance, the 1984 Oracle was passed out to eager stu- dents by the yearbook staff. After picking up their year- books, the students danced off the thrill of victory to the music of Mistaken Identity at the home- coming dance. As the dance came to an end, students slowly filed out of the auditeria, and the exciting day of the 1984 Homecoming came to a close. — Brian Lutgens Sophomores Jim Yankosky Melanie Brandt, Vickie Stuckey, and Damon Lercel look at the 1984 Oracle after the Lions ' victory over the Railroaders homecoming night.
