New Changes at Pat Hank Patrick Henry has been a tradition in the Camden area for forty-five years. This year's students felt it was time to make some changes. First, the Homecoming events were done differently from years past. This year, instead of having only the traditional Homecoming Queen and her four princesses, the male gender was included. Henry's first homecoming king and princes began new traditions of the 84-85 school year. Traditionally, the royal court had a processional around the football field at halftime. The new track excluded this tradition and in its place, there was a parade around the community. Floats were prepared by those who wished to gain a prize. The seniors and the Pep Club were the first to submit floats. Sno Daze Royalty this year included male and female underclassmen. No Senior King was crowned. With these good changes came a few bad ones. Pastels and Front Five Flag Girls were dropped from school activities. Pastels contained five to six girls under the height of five foot five. The Front Five had five girls over five foot five. Both performed at games and pepfests and both had been original features at Henry. In addition to the new things at Henry this year, we had the pleasure of the company of two foreign exchange students at our school: Vionica Choi, from Hong Kong, and Ives de Chazel, from Bolivia. Changes can create new traditions for future Patriots at Patrick Henry. PAR ABOVE: Tradition changes as Michael Finke is crowned Henry's first homecoming King.
