 Winning was definitely an honor. When they called my name out, I didn't even hear it called out. All 1 did was grab my father's arm and said, 'I don't believe it'. - Jill Eary It's Not Just A One Night Thing At Pflugerville High School, Home- coming isn't just a one night thing. From the beginning of the week until the end, the excitement of Homecoming was in the air. Activities scheduled for the week had students doing something different and crazy every day. The sell- ing of mums brought excitement of Homecoming into the air. The election of a Homecoming Queen is a tradition at PHS. This year was no different. This year five senior girls were selected to the 1985-86 Homecoming Court. The court consisted of Barbara Hees, Kami Kaatz, Jill Eary, Anna Chla- pek and Denise Damstrom. I think a good nominee for Home- coming Queen is someone who has a good personality, is active in school and pretty, said senior Roland Adams. On Monday, classes began painting their signs for the hall decorating contest sponsored by the cheerleaders. Each class had a hall, which was to be decorat- ed with a theme of their choice. The halls were to be decorated Thursday after school and judged early Friday morning. I think that the hall decorating helps raise spirits and brings classes and friends together, remarked junior Jody Markert. Wednesday the students of PHS were treated to a pep rally parade. Students gathered at downtown Pflugerville and piled into cars and trucks and proceeded to the high school for a night pep rally. Friday afternoon the cheerleaders and the band led the spirit train through the halls. The train, which consisted of the whole school, led the students to the Panther Stadium, where the pep rally was held. During the pep rally cheer- leader sponsor Cynthia Sivek announced that the Freshman class won the hall decorating contest. The seniors were the winners of the OEA spirit chain and the spirit stick for the week. The spirit and excitement of the week followed the students to the game that night. At halftime the 1985-86 Home- coming Queen was announced. Jill Eary was elected by her fellow classmates to represent them as Homecoming Queen. The football game ended on a sour note with a loss of 14-7 to Kerrville - Tivy, but spirits were kept high throughout the evening at the Home- coming Dance, which was held in the High School commons. Homecoming 1985 was a fun filled week with cherished memories for the students at Pflugerville High School. by Dawn Brtak 1.

Kiss A Pig As the 1985-86 school year rolled in, the traditional pep rallies began. Every Friday during football season, many stu- dents joined in and competition was high. The class that won the spirit stick had the most creative, most spirited and loudest class, said junior Vicki Wenzel. Thanks to the cheerleaders, the band, and a special thanks to our new addition — Big Blue. Their performances helped in making the pep rallies great. A special hand also goes to the drill team and color guard who gave outstanding perfor- mances for everyone. As a freshman Crissy McCoy said, It's very exciting to perform in front of an audience that is fired up and ready for the game that night. Two very exciting things occurred — 8 Pep-Rallies
