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

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

Dancing The As soon as the new school year start- ed, Student Council began all the plans for the upcoming Homecoming. After many meetings they chose the theme, Only In My Dreams, the band, The Intruders, and the deco- rations-a color scheme of various shades of purple with white palm trees. After all these details, it was time to sell tickets. The night of the dance, September 26, had the chill of autumn; the leaves were just starting to turn bright reds and yellows. As the couples en- tered the school's main gymnasium, they were greeted by the music of the band and by various faculty and ad- ministration members. During the dance, the Homecoming Night Away Court was presented, after which they danced the Court Dance. Throughout the dance. Creative Images By Rowe took pictures of the couples in the lobby. Walter Rowe showed his cre- ative abilities by having each couple in a slightly different pose than the others. Incredible Inflatables were hired by Mr. Rowe to make a fantastic balloon display for the setting. It fea- tured a purple balloon arc with indi- vidual balloons in the background. The midnight hour struck and the 1987 Homecoming Dance was over. In a few weeks, the Student Council returns to endless meetings for Homecoming '88! Judging from their faces, Kristen Mealy and Marlon ford must be having a good time even though they are back in school on a Saturday night. As long as no tests or term papers are in- volved, it must not be so bad. Midview s Homecoming Court came decked out in their finest on the night of the dance. Each proved to be all smiles as the camera caught them during their shining moment. Af- terwards, all enjoyed dancing to the music pro- vided by The Intruders.'
