Lunch Time Laughter Homecoming without noon rallies? Impossible! They gave each class time to promote its theme and candidates. Even though cloudy skys threatened to rain on the lunch time activities, all four classes weathered well and did outstanding jobs. Seniors began festivities by appearing as vampires, skeletons, and even sea monsters. The Class of ’83 was spell binding; their noon rally included a mummy wrap and a coffin race for the candidates. On Tuesday the juniors revealed themselves in grass skirts, leis, and muumuus. The Hawaiian rally was truly original, involving the candidates in a pineapple eating relay and a contest to see which queen candidate could draw the best “Magnum P.l. Moustache”. Next the sophomores gave us their version of the west wearing old-fashioned frontier attire. A timed relay with king candidates riding stick horses around the quad, and blowing out a lighted candle with a squirt gun made the sophomores rally a real show-down. The freshmen surprised everyone on Thursday. The youngest class looked like pro's as they staged a “down home” noon rally. The Class of '86 slipped into comfortable country clothes like overalls, straw hats, and flannel shirts. They featured the king candidates going through an obstacle course of tires and unlocking the queen candidates from an outhouse. One judge commented grimly, “A very hard year to choose, in my eyes every class is a winner.” 1) Mark and Laurie make a dash for victory. 2) Senior creatures Roni Grohs. Bob Bcachamp, and Ron Corkin. 3) Tim Otto is that you? 4) Dennis Enser skillfully maneuvers the tires. 5) Ma and Pa get ready for the noon rally with help from the children.

Time To Come Home. By Lisa Gilbert Spirits were high, everyone was cheering and hoping to win the traditional King and Queen competition, yelling the loudest to win the spirit bucket. A nostalgic note to the traditional Homecoming rally, which made the event even more meaningful. The spectators included a special group of people- graduates of 1942. Spokeswoman Mrs. Edie Burroughs Thompson touchingly expressed, “Even though your peers grow up, change, and leave, keeping in touch and getting back together can be as exciting as graduating together.” Then the Class of '42 united in a tratitional cheer.
