Despite the overwhelming success of this year's home- coming festivities, some stu- dents felt that they were handicapped academically during the week. It was harder for me because ev- eryone was so rowdy in class, noted Junior Mi- chelle Wells. Marie Moussa, a junior, said, It's not easy to con- centrate when cowbells are jingling in the distance!

Banners were created for the first time by groups such as the Key Club, which won the contestg and the con- stant jingling of spirit bells broke the usual silence of the hallways. Anticipation and excite- ment built up during the re- mainder ofthe week, and fi- nally, the real events could begin. November 5-10 was homecoming week, the most memorable one in North Garland's 13-year history. The victory over the Gar- land Owls made Friday night, Nov. 9 even more special. The varsity's recov- ery from the dismal 0-10 re- cord in '83 put hope in the heart of the school body. Also, the Raiders had never won a homecoming game before.

Then the nominees, Lisa Ba- ker, Michelle Doster, Vickie Hudson, Holly Metzger, Fe- licia Parker, Leah Rodri- guez, Christy Roe and Ka- ren Rotunda, were present- ed. Last yearis winner, Libby Underwood, passed her crown to Felicia Parker. Sophomore Travers Scott said, I voted for Felicia be- cause I knew that generally everyone had a pretty high opinion of her and she seemed like the only candi- date who wasn't a . . . glam- our queen. Afterward, the football team rewarded the school's years of waiting with their first homecoming victory, 21-7. fcontinued on page 2145 Stephanie Ramsey presents a flow- er to nominee Holly Metzger, who is escorted by her brother.
