On Friday, October 7, the Beatrice football team was scheduled to arrive at 5:30 p.m. To some it was just another night of football, but to others it was HOMECOMING. Ten students would remember this evening and the weeks before it for a long time. On September 23, Jeff Burkink, principal, announced the list of Homecoming candidates. Students Give Time To Plan Festivities Immediately the spotlight was focused on these ten students, but what about the people behind the scenes? So many preparations had to be made. Several clubs at NHS became active in the festivities by building floats, painting signs, and dressing up in costumes. First place went to the French Club, second to the Spanish Club for their floats depicting ‘Memories’. Candidates had a list of “to do’s” also. Gifts had to be bought, flowers ordered, attendants and drivers sought, dinners to attend, and pictures to be taken. That night began with anticipation and ended with a sigh of relief as Ken Geyer and Kim Monson were announced as King and Queen. Following the Homecoming Coronation, a dance was held for the students in the Forum. Dave Kruse and Cheryl Smith applaud as two of their fellow candidates enter onto the field during halftime festivities.
