The Marching Panthers step off the 1985 Homecoming Parade. The Panther shows a “‘touch of class’”’ as he enjoys the lead over Eldorado. An enthusiastic crowd watches the Homecoming Variety Show. Cheryl Houghland keeps the fans fired up during Sectionals. Lance Jones is “‘caught in the act”’ of being himself. The 1985-86 school year was char- acterized by change. The school staff changed as Mrs. Jean Chester was ad- ded to teach three Art classes. Much heat in year’s beginning brought the shortening of the daily schedule with class periods varying from day to day for much of Septem- ber. Announcements informed the school of the “‘ultimate catering class- Catering Unlimited’’, and the forma- tion of Math Club meant two new or- ganizations. A new set of School Dance Guide- lines was adopted, especially affecting students planning to bring non-PCHS students to dances. Homecoming brought about many changes, one of them being a Blue and White Spirit Day on Friday to replace a week’s worth of dress-up days. The Variety Show and bonfire were held on Friday night, and Saturday was filled with the parade in the morning, the game in the afternoon, and the dance at night. The homecoming court changed to include only seniors; an alumnus, Marion Rushing, was chosen as the first pa- rade marshall, and an alumni band was added for the game’s half-time show. Into November, an assembly spon- sored by SADD brought national speaker and former Olympic athlete Davis Johnson to talk about the dan- gers of driving after drinking alcohol. Also, an all-school Career Day brought over 50 guests from our area to relate experiences in various professions to interested students. Fall sports and activities gave way to winter sports and activities; 1985 passed on to 1986, and the first se- mester ended.
