Running Eating, Climbing Lead to Junior Win In evilmania Leading the way by nine points, the junior class won the annual Devilmania games with a score of 53. Not far be- hind was the faculty and taking third place with a score of 40 were the sen- iors. The sophomore class came next with 37 points and the freshmen fol- lowed with 28. The traditional games began at 1:00 on the day of Homecoming but the preparations started weeks before as a time schedule was worked out and classes began to organize teams for the different events. Some of the events used other years included battle cries, poster decorations, volleyball, softball, tug-of-war and rope jumping. Some new events were added this year and these included an egg toss, a monster walk and a lip-sync contest. Modeled after the popular television show, the singing contest asked teams to dress as their favorite music group and imitate them. The faculty team consisted of Princi- pal Steve Bernth and Instructors Cecil McKnight, Tom Schirmer and Frank Kokotajlo. The group impersonated “The Village People. The senior team consisted of Cari Schrieber, Chris Volwiler, Pam Jensen and Dan Huebner. Their group imper- sonated “Motley Crue.” The juniors impersonated “KISS.” The group consisted of Laura Williams, Missy McCormick, Dawn Plog and Bekkijo Barkus. The sophomores and freshmen didn’t compete in this com- petition. The pep rally went as planned with the football cheerleaders. The chant that really got everyone's attention was the traditional battle cry. The bat- tle cries ended in a tie between the juniors and seniors. Senior Kurt Johnson commented, “It was a good ortime! The results of Devilmania are as follows: Poster Decorations: freshmen; Lip Sync: seniors; Monster Walk; facul- ty; 3-Legged Race: faculty; Tricycle Race; sophomores; Obstacle Course: juniors; Banana-Split Relay: juniors; Egg Toss: sophomores; Pyramid Build- ing: juniors; Tug-of-War: seniors; Soft- ball: seniors; Volleyball: faculty; Jump Rope: sophomores. Chris Winscot, Steve Brink, Steve Felthousen and Spencer Pohlmeier were proud ot their vic- tory for the juniors in the banana-split eating contest. Lagoon shorts were popular accessories for the sophomore football players. Pictured are Da- vid Lesher, Troy Ferdig. Jim Herdlitchka and Chad Hart. 11

Royalty, Devilmania Create Successful omecoming It was Homecoming and all through the school not a student was to be found ... Where were the students? They were at the football stadium where the scoreboard read 17-16 in favor of the Blue Devils over the Gretna Dragons. This victory set off the evening of Sept. 17 just right. Homecoming is a “big thing and all the students were busy buying their tickets to the dance, going shopping for last minute things and participating in the popular “Devilmania” games. The dance was held in the cafeteria again this year. The cheerleaders were in charge of decorations and the Food Service II class provided the refresh- ments. Steve Warga, of the Music Spectrum, was busy playing all the popular tunes requested by the stu- dents. This year, as before, the Homecom- ing candidates were chosen by the football, volleyball, girls’ golf and cross country teams. Also cheerleaders and drill team members voted on candi- dates. Five girls and five boys were chosen from the entire senior class. King and queen were then voted on by the students in each class, 9-12. The voting was set up a little differently then the years before. Instead of mak- ing sure each student voted, there was a box in the main hallway in which a person could chose his her top choices. Then, once a student had vot- ed, his name was crossed off the list. The 1985-86 candidates were: Kevin Dasher, Richard Church, Dave Rei- chart, Jeff Patenaude, Brad Krauth, Jodi Cundall, Trish Lewandowski, Lori Jeanneret, Kari Fogal and Kathy Bee- be. Reigning this year, King Richard Church and Queen Kathy Beebe were crowned by Mike Jackson and Molly McCormick, 1984-85 Homecoming king and queen. Congratulations to all ... and to all a good-bye. After watching the Blue Devils sneak by the Gretna Dragons, Senior Chris Volwiler and Junior Heidi Birdsley enjoyed listening to the latest pop songs. Climaxing the week of activities was the dance. Former PHSer Jay Martin attended the dance with Senior Angie Pohlmeier. Cheerleaders took charge of decorations. Pictured here are Alumni Scott Wehrbein and Senior Jodi Collier. 13
