As the football teams eagerly prepare for the Admiral King game, one of three parachutists floats down onto the field. Each one of the spec- tacular parachutists brought with him cither the game ball, the American flag, or the King's crown. During the pregame ceremonies, the queen candidates are escorted in to the stadium by ‘ classy'' convcrtables driven by owners in the community. Randi McCourt waves to the Middie fans from a flaming-red 1966 Ford Mustang. Other cars that paraded on the track were a black 64 Olds 442. a red 63 Ford Falcon, two yellow '71 Ford Mustangs and a brand new 87 Corvette. The Queen candidates then met their escorts and the rest of the court. 22 STUDENT LIFE

Portrait: A Match Made in the halls of Midview ' by sopho- more Leah Durkee. Has freshman Dan Frabotta swept soph- omore Robin Uehlein off her feet? Archie Ochletree was willingly carried off to a destination un- known by Brett Ste- vanus, Sam Spicer, and Joe Tackett. Autumnfest Is Better Than Ever No matter what your interest fun can be found As you sit, reading these words, look- ing at these pictures, and remember- ing Autumnfest, I'm sure that you'll agree that the energy level was high that day. It wasn't just a money-mak- ing function. It was a time for all of the student organizations to get together in a fun, fair-like atmosphere for stu- dents and faculty. Each booth had something different to offer for those attending Autumn- fest. Mrs. Caponi's children walked away with about five goldfish apiece. Greg Schacher won a necklace and gave it to Kelley Hatcher, who com- mented I'll cherish this for life.'' Rob- in Uehlein and Dan Frabotta got their pictures taken as girl Middie and guy Middie . Anji Heron had piano keys painted on her cheek. Jennifer Gordon was covered with whipped cream from head to toe. Kerry Fees bought a panoramic picture of last year's seniors. Even the people who didn't win anything, get wet, or plas- tered with something edible left the Autumnfest with something - memo- ries of crazy friends, wild times, andMr. Dawson's head sticking out of a hole, dripping with uncooked oatmeal. Since last year's Autumnfest was rained out, the freshmen weren't the only ones joining in this tradition for the first time. Junior Julie Ross found the meaning of jail when Brian Searle sent her there because it was her birthday. The jail was such a hot item that it was always full and the cheerleaders had to enlarge it to ac- comodate all of the inmates. It seemed that the members of the Spanish club would have been the most uncomfortable individuals at the Autumnfest. According toSue Keck, the Spanish Club's advisor, be- ing wet in the cold weather wasn't any worse than it had been in the past. A bigger problem that they faced was finding people who were skilled enough to launch the water balloons from the giant rubber band at the live targets. Finally, after discarding the rubber band, business picked up. Spanish Club mem- bers Scott Wilson and Rob Wuensch join Sue Keck as targets for the water balloon bombing. AUTUMNFEST 21

Homecoming Festivities Alumni and students anticipate this year's Homecoming weekend; both the game and dance promise excitement. It was a perfect homecoming game night. The air was filled with the ten- sion of the football players, the spirit of the cheerleaders and the excite- ment of every Middie fan in the over- flowing stadium. At 7:30, the band marched on the field playing the fight song. As Fight, Midview high School started, the band members and many fans let blue and white balloons, sold by the Midview Key Club, float up into the sky. The autumn sky was a collage of many blue and white. Middie-spirited balloons. The middle of the M formation on the field parted, and from behind the flags of the Flag Corp the king and queen candidates and the court were presented. The time had come for the crowning of the 1987 Homecoming King and Queen. The 1987 Homecoming King and Queen, Don Sanders and Kim Debo, are crowned by the 1986 King and Queen. Kyle Ewell and Shelly Jantz. Kim received roses from Student Coun- cil. Last year's King and Queen, Kyle Ew- ell and Shelly Jantz, were at the side- line waiting to present the new king his crown and the queen her crown, her robe, and a bouquet of roses, which were furnished by the Student Council. It is very nice that I can come back and give the future Queen her crown, said Shelly. The 1987 Homecoming King is... Don Sanders!' The crowd applauded and cheered as Kyle placed the crown on Don's head. The noise of the fans died down for the next announce- ment- the queen. The 1987 Homecoming Queen is... Kim Debo! The crowd roared again for the newly crowned couple. Don and Kim are not just King and Queen; they are currently dating! Flashes from cameras of proud par- ents and happy friends clicked every second at the extrememly cheerful couple, but Don had to go to the lock- er room to prepare for the tough game with Admiral King. The pre- game ceremonies had ended, and it was time to play ball. Queen candidate Tracy Hawke is escorted by king candidate Scott Acklin. HOMECOMING 23
