Allowing their relief to show, Lisa Snyder, Dawn- ette Nungesser and Mollie Keller joyfully finish their routine. The Linkettes had a good reason to be happy—they made it through the show even though it entailed kneeling in the soupy mud. Slightly bowing his head, Pat Gaines reaches up to remove his crown. Besides being crowned Homecoming King, Pat was present for the game to sing the National Anthem with Concert Choir. The smiling queen, Tracy Light body, was honored and happy to be wearing that crown.

Not another “Yesterday” Homecoming made memorable by events It was a dark night. The fog and threatening rain made it gloomy. It was a night that warranted staying at home, warm and dry. But, football players, band members, spirit members, concert choir members and numerous students, had to abandon the warm-and-dry idea; this night was homecoming. At Seacrest Field, before the game, Homecoming seemed likely to be doomed when the lights went out. However, after a long, uneasy wait, the lights came back on. The game started a little late, but many students thought that the delay made the game more exciting since everyone was really hyped-up for the game by the time the field was illuminated. The band, needless to say, was not quite as eager to be out on the field that night. Heavy rain and the tearing-up effect of any football game had turned the field into a swamp.

When it came time for the half-time activities, the band and the Homecoming Court filed onto the field excited, even if a little reluctant. The court included Deb Lawson, Tracy Lightbody, Melissa Miller, Lisa Murray and Tammy Schriner for the Queen candidates. The candidates for Homecoming King included Kevin Burbach, Pat Gaines, Bill Sheets, Corky Simms and Steve Wise. Tracy was named Queen and Pat became King. Other Homecoming festivities included honoring Distinguished Alumni Francis Allen, Susan McClanahan and Carl Oleson with the annual double assembly that morning. Complicating the adjusted schedule for the assembly and the annual Homecoming pep rally, there was an unexpected fire in the woodshop. Luckily, the fire department put the fire out before much damage was done. Somehow, after all the little disasters shrouding Homecoming, it is doubtful that it will become just another “yesterday...” Homecoming wouldn’t be complete without the dance after the game. Deb Placek, Luci Jellum, Gregg Peterson, and Becky Boswell are just a few of the many dancers.

Although there was always something to do, sometimes extra money was necessary. Deb Schneber and Sally Kirsch prepare to pay for the giant swing they are waiting to ride. With Deanna Kingman and Kami Dudley looking on, Mr. Joe Skutchan pleads with the camera-woman not to catch him with his mouth full. Mr. Skutchan, Deanna and Kami were caught in the crowd waiting to buy lunch. The elephant ride was one activity at the Renaissance Fair.
