O ncouraging Strange Behavior It was a day like any other. The buses and cars pulled into the MHS parking lot just as they had a hun- dred times before. But what emerged from those cars and buses was different. The bodies, insteaa of being claa in Levis ana sweatshirts, were dressed in pajamas. Either the entire student body got up late or it was the beginning of Homecoming Week. Homecoming week had always been notorious for its encourage- ment of strange behavior. The pow- derpuff teams cheered in the con- course while the football players wandered the halls in togas maae of snoopy sheets. The weekly schedule began on Monday with a college sweatshirt aay followed on Tuesday by paja- ma day. Wednesday ' s activities in- cluded the coronation ana the pow- derpuff football game in which the seniors, yet again, came out victori- ous. Thursday was toga day and Fri- day was blue and gold day and the game against Oak Harbor that evening. As senior Suzy Yoon stated, Homecoming week is so special; it has an impeccable magic to it that fuses the student body into one. -Michelle Laffoon.

(drowning Royalty It was 1 1 :00 AM in the girls ' lock- er room, an hour before the 1987 Homecoming Coronatin Assem- bly. As hairs pray filled the air and make-up all over the place, each one of the ten girls were thinking about who was going to be crowned as the next 1987 Home- coming Queen. The feeling was tense. When everyone was seated, host and hostess Justin Iverson and Jodi Stave announced the theme of the coronation assem- bly, We ' ve Only Just Begun. At that time, Meridith Dollarhide and Jim Carleson were introduced to sing Up Where We Belong. That set the pace for the introductions of the court. Jodi Stave and Justin Iverson started by reading the biogra- phies of each candidate, as each couple walked out alphabetical- ly. After the formal introductions, Michael Addicott and Gabrielle Ferebee sang a song written by Michael, Looking Down the Road. By this time everyone was sitting on the edge of their seats with anticipation. The lights dimmed and the time had come to announce the court in random order, leaving the king and queen yet to be discovered. Both the host and the hostess took turns calling names starting with Princess Jennifer Lind and Prince James Ganion. Next to be announced was, Julie Opitz and Corey Dire. Everyone watched closely as the decision grew nearer. It felt strange to sit up there, wondering what was going to happen next. said Jennifer Opitz. The rest of the court was announced, leaving Princess Mi- chael Addicott and David Leudtke and Princesses Staci Sprout and Kerrin Cram. At last, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived hap- pen. The envelope was opened and Justin and Jodi took turns reading the last Prince and Prin- cess: Michael Addicott and Staci Sprout. That left the crowns to David Luedtke as King and Kerrin Cram as Queen. I was shocked at first, but the feeling was great, said Kerrin Cram. Everyone stood up as 1987 ' s King and Queen walked the isle, with flower and crown bearer ' s Christopher Daily and Christa Mer- kely following. I was so honored to represent such a great school of excellence. commented Da- vid Leudtke. The assembly was completed by the singing of Kath- leen Moore, Do You Know.
