PHINX Homecoming overtaken by Egyptian theme continued from p. 10 The morning after the Homecoming victory, sleepy Student Council members coverged on the school at 5 a.m. to prepare for the dance that night. It was kind of hard to see what we were doing through our eyelids, but we worked hard and fin- ished the job, said Senior Patty Younvanich. Stu- dents worked for about seven hours to transform the cafeteria into a likeness of an ancient pyramid. Scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., students began arriv- ing around 7:45 p.m. As more and more people ar- rived, the available dancing area in the cafeteria shrank to near non-existence. Having sold over 500 tick- ets to the ball, including several standing-room- only tickets, Student Council President Troy Prestenberg said, It was almost too crowded to dance, but this is great. I think this is the first time we have ever sold out Homecoming and had ad- ditional people ask for tickets. The dancing and picture WITH GEORGE STRAIT'S You Look So Good ln Love playing in the background, Sophomore Mi- chelle Hess and her date share a taking was halted at 9:30 p.m. to present the 1986 Homecoming Queen and her court. Senior Heather Colombo was officially crowned queen by 1985 queen Raye-Anne Talton. As the queen and her court danced to Boston's Aman- da, the dance continued. Couples then began de- parting for various restau- rants for a late dinner. the dance formally ended at 11 p.m. But as senior Don Schmelhaus said, The decorations were great and the win over Greenville made Home- coming my senior year the best yet. I'll never forget it. LOST AMONG THE couples on the dance floor, Senior Eric Be- shires enjoys a laugh with his date, Senior M'Recia Arceneaux. anfe HoMEcoM1Nc3 13

1 PHI Homecoming overtaken by Egyptian theme The band boomed the Homecoming medley as the Mamselles and La Pe- tites stood with their heads held high. The crowd anx- iously awaited the an- nouncement. What name would be announced? All week long, students prepared for the celebra- tion. Clubs readied them- selves by constructing floats and banners that fol- lowed the theme, A Night on the Nile. In addition to the floats and banners, streamers lined the halls and cafeteria. Most of everybody showed a will- ingness to participate in the festivities, said Senior Chris Ewing. At the game, the crowd sat nervously as the nomi- nees Heather Colombo, Irene Holmes, Katherine Kelly, Michele Matlock, Denise Nance and Marci Willard were escorted onto the field by their fathers. When the name of Heather Colombo was announced, the crowd cheered. I was excited because I felt she was the best nominee. She plays a prominent role in the school, said freshman Lesli Palmer. Colombo took the ceremonial ride around the field in a Mer- cedes-Benz convertible. The celebration after the game was just as festive, as the Raiders defeated Greenville 49-28. But this weekend was far from over.
