 I think the floats turned out pretty smooth considering the amount of time we had to make them! exclaimed Senior Erin Duffy. Each class was only allowed one week to produce their floats. However, the shortened time limit didn't dampen the quality of the floats. Different variations in the theme Homecoming in Hollywood were portrayed by the classes as they paraded downtown to Harrison Stadium. The Frosh version of Snow White used a giant mirror and a mine complete with dwarves. I was surprised with the way our float turned out. It's not bad for freshman! said Trevor Hatley. Sophomores took the Mom Hot-tinger Spirit Award using the theme The Wizard of Oz. The life-like house and colorful rainbow were real crowd pleasers. It took a lot of work to finish our float, but with everyone's help we did it! said Stacey Foursha. The Juniors were ready for take off, as they represented the hit movie Top Gun with an airplane and a real motorcycle. Matt Chase said That was a bad motorcycle they had on our float. The Seniors were off to the land of lambda, lambda, lambda with the theme Revenge of the Nerds. Their float featured a sorority house and a moving ferris wheel. Well, to put it bluntly, I think we did a great job! exclaimed Patti Hopkins. -Tammy Flowers Seniors advertise King and Queen candidates Perry and Lena. 12 Homecoming Mirror, mirror on the wall, Freshmen are fairest ol them all.

 October 2, 1987 was a night for royalty as well as Tiger victory. The theme Homecoming in Hollywood suggested an evening of excitement which OHS proudly displayed. Just before kickoff of the Varsity game. Mistresses of Ceremonies Melissa Hottle and Kathy Quast announced each classes Homecoming float as they were paraded in front of the crowd. Thanks to the beautiful weather we enjoyed all week the floats were in perfect form and reflected many hours of hard work by all the classes. Following the floats, Mr. Bob Powers was named the recipient of the first ever Alumnus of tne Year award for OHS. It seemed an eternity, until finally halftime was approaching and tne candidates were making final preparations for the coronation. In the true spirit of Hollywood, OHS put on the ritz for its candidates by chauffering them around the stadium and formally escorting them to the platform to await the presentation of awards. The first class award of the evening was the float award bestowed on the class who's float was judged the best of '87. When tne announcement was made that the sophomores had won, the crowd went wild! But suddenly it was quiet again and we all awaited the presentation of the Mom Hottinger Spirit Award and with it the new Homecoming royalty.
