Homecoming proves successful radition back A hot bon-fire and a damp parade made Norfolk Senior High’s 1986-86 Homecoming an event to remember. Prior to the bon-fire, two new features were introduced at Norfolk Senior High. The Norfolk High Booster Club sponsored a hotdog feed in the school cafeteria. Afterwards, a choir concert was given in the Forum by the two Norfolk High choirs and the Choraleers. The old school tradition of a bon-fire was revived by the Pep Club for the first time since 1979. An enormous crowd attended the bon-fire to participate in the first of the Homecoming festivities that were planned. Although the tradition of the Homecoming parade may not be new, the rain gave it a different twist. The floats were wet. but that did not dampen the spirits of the mighty Panthers. One of the activities that was planned for Homecoming was the annual Spirit Week. Many students and faculty members participated in the week-long festivities that consisted of Sweats Day, Hat and Tie Day, Clash Day, Fiftie’s Day, and Maroon and White Day. During half-time of the Norfolk-North Platte football game on Friday, Sean Korth and Christi Wilcox were crowned the 1985-86 Homecoming King and Queen. The football victory on Friday night and the dance on Saturday rounded out a very successful and memorable Homecoming week at Norfolk Senior High. It is unbelievable what crazy things people do during Homecoming Week. Pep Gub members are dressed up for the parade to show their school spirit. The bon-fire is an added inspiration as the football team captain Kent Crippen gives a pep talk to the crowd. This is the first time since 1979 that this type of event has taken place at NHS. The tradition of Homecoming royalt lives on. King Sean Korth and Quee Christi Wilcox are crowned during th Homecoming festivities. 20 HOMECOMING
