Balloons And Fireworks Make It Spectacular Homecoming A Success On Friday, October 4, 1985 the Oil City High School football field lit up with fireworks in a celebration that brought to a close the week-long tradition of Homecoming. The highlight of the evening was the half-time crowning of Sue Stephens as Homecoming Queen. A semi-formal dance was held in her honor Saturday evening. Leading up to the spectacular finale on Friday night was a full week of activities planned by the Senior Class. Monday was Born in The USA day. Everyone wore red, white, and blue clothes or Bruce Springsteen attire. Tuesday was Concert T-Shirt Day, followed by Nerd Day on Wednesday, Dress-up Day on Thursday, and Blue and White Day on Friday. At 2:30 on Friday there was a pep rally and a pie-in-the-face contest. Each senior homeroom chose one student to be a candidate for the pie in the face and the penny-a-vote method was used to determine the winner of the contest; however, all candidates received a well filled pie. The candidates were Mike Gesing, Mike Jolley, Chris Conway, Brad Quat-tro, John Wolbert, Junior Whitman, and Mrs. Hardy. All the money raised was donated to the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh in memory of Gary McFall. Up, up and jway go the 500 blue and white balloons on Homecoming night.
