Tears, Tinsel Three whacks for half a dollar and a carnation in the color of your choice! These were only two of the novelties that enhanced Homecoming week. Most found the three day week any- thing but boring! The first event involved a trip to the parking lot and a mere fifty cents to buy a part in the destruction of the gold Pontiac Tonka Toy.

Fifth hour we headed outside. A showing of excitement and school spirit set the mood for a fantastic royal pepfest in which the flag line, Brui- nettes and musical cheerleaders were featured. Two hours later... with their instru- ments covered with tinsel and stream- ers, the band excitedly marched down Queen Avenue, leading our own row- die and original Homecoming parade! Finally the game began with a solo of the Star Spangled Banner by Laura Waters. As the night went on, we were not disappointed. We sank the Skip- pers. 17-0! An exciting week ended with the long awaited Homecoming Dance. It carried a theme which described our Homecoming spirit and school pride perfectly... A Touch of Class. School colors were carried proudly by the (lag line during a special performance in honor of the royal court. Mascots Brenda Decknadei and Kathy Kerr found that school spirit is a lot more fun when you add a little quick steppin'! 12 HOMECOMING All football players please stand.

The crowd roared with approval as a very happy Greg Bell began his reign as Homecoming King. CORONATION 11
