Working for Weekends Senior Janelle Pecha rests up after a long weekend. Juniors Kylee Schaffer and Deana Conn perfect the art of cruising. Another Thought Cruisin', that's what this town thrives on. Everyone at some time or another ends up taking a cruise! Cruisin' people usually stop some- where to hear the latest about Plattsmouth and the people that live here. Cruisin' is a two-way street, you can either participate in coppin' a Main, and then down Chi- cago, or you can observe all cars driving by. It's a time-killer, but can ‘be fun. There used to be a group of peo- ple who sat at Quik-Pic in the sum- mer and played hack (hackey- sack). People had the impression that these were drug-addicts but that's not true. It was just a place to meet people and buy a pop. Cruisin' will always be around. High school kids will never forget about copping a cruise. Sophomore Dawn Davis Cheerleaders take time out of their week- end to support the Blue Devils. Shown are Michelle Norris, Kelly Ogle. Jeanne Carmi- cheal and Tina Porter Seniors Laura Ranney and Stephanie Long enjoy an evening at the Homecoming 14 Weekends dance.

Brad, Bekkijo Reign As Homecoming Royalty Neither rain, loss, nor cold of night could dampen the spirits of the PHS student body as the students trad- ed in their rainboots after the game for a more comfortable pair of dancing shoes and spent the rest of the evening, Hunting for Glory at the 1986 Homecoming. It was definitely one of the bet- ter dances I've attended, com- mented Senior Craig Martin. Every- one was enjoying themselves and I found our class winning Devilmania set the mood for the whole even- ing. After the seniors defeated the ju- niors that afternoon, the visiting Ant- lers of Elkhorn spoiled the evening for the gridders by defeating the Blue Devils, 21-8 in what some called a mudfest. The party moved to a drier area for the dance. The dance was again held in the cafeteria with the cheerleaders in charge of the decorations. Steve Warga and the Music Spectrum was there to play requests and later in- troduced the candidates and the Homecoming Royalty. This year the candidates were chosen by the cheerleaders, the drill team and the fall sports partici- pants. The boys nominated five girls and the girls nominated five boys from the senior class. The king and queen were then chosen by all students by balloting. Each student voted for one girl and one boy. The candidates were Brian Bres- nahan. Brad Brown, Robie Church, Jerry Dasher, Spencer Pohlmeier, Dena Ostrander, Tami McGowan, Missy McCormick, Bekkijo Barkus and Trisha Horn. While it continued raining out- doors, reigning inside were King Brad Brown and Queen Bekkijo Barkus. The couple was crowned by last year's royalty, Richard Church and Kathy Beebe. New to the agenda this year was a bonfire. Football Coach Cal Jacobs spoke to the crowcj Homecoming 13

Students Cram Fun Into The Weekend Plan As the clock strikes 12, a dreadful thought occurs to many PHSer's as a little voice inside says, It's time to be home! Despite efforts to sneak into the house, there is still a big voice (more commonly known as dad) just wait- ing to inform the student: “You are late! Do you realize the pain and suffering that you have caused your mother and I?! Many students refer to this as “The Guilt Trip. Students' activities include 'just a touch' of everything. Some of the more popular ways to spend week- ends are shopping, eating out, movies, parties and, of course, cruis- ing. Junior David Klanecky stated: “Most of the time I go out and cruise with my friends. If I don't, I stay home and rent a movie. For some students, sitting on the Quik Pik dumpster (while eating Dori- tos) seems to be quite entertaining. Other popular gathering places in- clude Main Street, Ruback's parking lot and Ofe's gas station. Weekend plans usually become the main topic of conversation in the hallways and classrooms begin- ning on Wednesdays. Frequently asked questions are “Where are the parties? , or “What is going on? Junior Stacy Schreiber added; “I usually go cruising and socialize. For those students who have dates, their plans usually include them. Senior Chris Winscot com- mented; “I usually go out with Leslie and we have fun together. We'll see a movie, play putt-putt or go to a party. The song “Workin' for the Week- end by Loverboy seems to cap- ture the attitudes of most PHSer's. Senior Amy Wehrbeln daydream of taking a cruise. Weekends 15
