Two senior girls Step to the throne as PHS Hails Its Queens The scene was set by Student Council, decorating the north gym balcony with strands of streamers and a big banner reading, P.H.S. ROYALTY. With sponsor Kevin Reidy's new ideas for the basketball homecoming, underclass princesses were ad- ded to the queen's court. When the queen's name was announced, the booster section erupted with shouts of support for Donitta Richardson. Council president Tracy Powell placed the crown on the new queen's head, and secretary Shannon Stone handed her a dozen roses. Even though the ceremony lasted a few short minutes, the memory of becoming Paoli's 1986 homecoming queen will stay with Donitta for a long time. Donitta Richardson, above left, is honored with a kiss as Tracy Powell places a crown of delight on the new queen's head. 1986 Basketball Homecoming participants, above, were sophomore princess Donna West, junior princess Stephanie Powell, queen candidates Kathy Spencer, Donitta Richardson, Tammy Stroud, and Lisa Grim, and freshman princess Hilary Gaudreau.

Playing state ranked North Daviess didn't exactly set up a perfect football homecoming. But by half time, the Rams hadn't let up, and as the fans crossed their fingers for a hopeful upset, so did four senior girls. Each girl squeezed her escort's arm tighter, preparing nervously. It was Jason Long who ended up with the sore arm, though, when the name, Nancy Stroud, echoed through the bleachers to applause, roses and an unending smile. Nancy wore the crown that night — a crown that would remind her of her victory that special night when she was named Football Homecoming Queen for 1985. Her crowning is made official, above, as 1985 Football Homecoming Queen can- Chad Hess places the long awaited crown didates and their escorts are Jimmy on Queen Nancy Stroud. Kirby, Eva Warren, Ty Sibbitt, Tammy Stroud, Jason Long, Nancy Stroud, Deron Sanders and Wendy Price. 14 Student Life

After the Bell Rings Although most kids do not start working at age eight, for John Warren, right, pumping gas and repairing cars at the family station is all he has ever done after the bell rings and school is out. Gas station employment is a popular job among PHS entrepreneurs as well as babysitting, farming, car hopping and clerking in local stores. For most students, cruising the town, then parking in Pizza Hut parking lot is a must. Whether going there to meet friends and party or just to see what's going on in Paoli, this is “the place to be. 16 Student Life
