Adventure — cent. The Lions were defeated by Carroll with a score of 6-20. Coach Bollier said, We gave them a good fight, but we couldn ' t score when we needed to, and they broke some big runs that we couldn ' t afford to give up. However, we had the potential to win the game but didn ' t make it happen. As summed up by senior foot- ball player Wally Miazga, It was a highly emotional game. Leo ' s win- ning was not meant to be. Losing didn ' t dampen spirits. The night ended with the annual homecoming dance, which gave the students a chance to socialize with friends and sign each other ' s yearbooks. All in all, the Lions wrapped up another successful homecoming. — Chris Scheil While waiting on the sidelines, the Leo football players cheer on their teammates for a victory.

Homecoming gave the students an opportunity for adventure — LION ' S BIG ADVENTURE Leaving the lazy days of summer behind them, the students started another school year. Homecom- ing week gave the Lions a chance to forget the monotony of school and experience the excitement of high school football. The Lions ' Big Adventure began Monday, September 16, with Pa- jama Day. The Lions showed their spirit by wearing their warm fuz- zles and toting cuddly teddy bears. Thursday brought Nerd Day and Class Skit. The seniors won Class Skit for the second consecutive year. Nerd Day was a day when the students could dress in their absolutely worst fashions. Friday marked the long awaited arrival of the big game. A pep rally was held in the afternoon to fur- ther boost Lion enthusiasm. The cheerleaders presented their Pee Wee Herman skit and se- cret admirers were revealed. Tom Dykhuizen was crowned Home- coming King. That night, the fans piled into the stands, waiting for the excite- ment to begin. The Lions were up against the Carroll Chargers. By halftime the score was 14-0, Car- roll leading. Halftime began with the parade. Floats of all sizes, shapes and col- ors passed by — building the an- ticipation and excitement of the fans. Next came the band playing Leo ' s school song, The Minneso- ta Rouser . The homecoming court was the grand finale. As the eager crowd awaited, Tami Witt was crowned Homecoming Queen. She was escorted by Wi- ley Kite. The 1985 homecoming court consisted of: last year ' s queen Michelle Delegrange, es- corted by her brother Todd, senior Sa- mantha lemma, escorted by Greg Kelly, senior Beth Witte, escorted by Shannon Roberts, queen Tami Witt, escorted by Wi- ley Kite, junior Laurie MacQueen, escort- ed by Ed Bushe, sophomore Renea Miller, escorted by Dain Bufe, and freshman Jamie Carton, escorted by Jason Richards.
