Larry Crooks HOMECOMING Pride and spirit Make Homecoming Memorable. “Homecoming 1986 will always be a special mem¬ ory for me. The amount of excitement and spirit, especially at the pep ral¬ ly, was incredible. It was an honor to be named queen — one of the best moments of my life. — Brit Dietrichs. omecoming and Spirit Week are usually quite similar; however, 1986 was different. The pride was back. More people got involved in activities such as horsestick races, a root beer chug, spirit link competition, building floats and effigies, and the pep rally. Not only was it a year of new found pride, it was a new start for all areas of school competition. Entering the Pio¬ neer Conference gave Medina High School the chance to show even more people how much pride and confidence the school really has. This also gave Student Council the idea for the Homecoming theme, “Pride of the Pioneer”. The football team added their own touch to make Homecoming special. For the first time in ten years, Medina won the Homecoming game. Final results, after overtime; Medina 17, Brunswick 14. Ju¬ nior Jan Stekelenburg said, “Homecoming was better this year because the football team won. This helped to raise spir¬ its.” A roaring student cheer¬ ing section helped the cheer¬ leaders with chants and pro¬ vided even more support for the team. “This was different than other games,” said Mike Laribee, a cheering student, “because people don ' t usually get that involved.” The traditional Homecom¬ ing dance went well, creating a good turnout. Junior Jean¬ ette Wing summed up the evening by simply saying, “It was great. The music was good and everyone was having a really fun time.” D2 By Nancy Bohl and Jennifer Buckloh (Above:) Ann Kemp.
