THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE If a tiny alien spacecraft had landed undetected on the PHS campus during the week of October 28-Novcmbcr I, they would have received a very warped perception of student life. They would have seen Dorthy, Toto, and even a house wandering the halls in a spirited daze. What they wouldn't have known is that it was Homecoming Week. No space creatures did land during those frantic days, or at least none were reported, yet some students had a hard time believing what the mind was capable of inventing for costumes. Was that really Cheryl Pendergrass pretending to be Dorthy’s house? During the rest of the week get-ups deviated from the theme, “There’s No Place Like Homecoming,” and students were expected to dress according to the mode of the day: Monday- Fansatic 50’s; Tuesday- Tacky Tourist; Wednesday- Theme Day; Thursday- Halloween Costumes; Friday- Blue and Gold Day. A few students were disappointed that they couldn't drag out their love beads and tie-died shirts for a Psychedelic 60’s Day. The decorating of the halls began slowly on Monday, and by Friday the school resembled a set for the Wizard of Oz. Senior hall, designated to be the Emerald City, was decorated with a waterfall and a hot air balloon. If you continued past the office and turned down junior hall you would have found yourself in Kansas. The animals lining the hall were remarkably true to life, and almost everyone bumped into the torando at least once. On making another right turn at Mr. Carter’s room, before you lay Munchkind Land. Munchkinds on one wall faced blue and gold lockers on the other. After the bright chccrincss of Munchkind Land you found yourself in the gloom of the Witch’s Forest or sophomore hall. Throughout the week private predictions were made as to who would become Homecoming King and Queen. On Friday, at the pep assembly, students cast their ballots for one of the candidates—Queen: Michelle Carrol, Michelle Howell, Cindy Tenney, Heather Wagner. Christen Whcrlcy, and Susie Williams; King: Ron Fain, Joe McNally, Bill James, Esteban Mancha. Mike Houston, and Tim West. Late in the afternoon on Thursday, rain clouds moved in over Prescott and threatened to make the parade and pep rally a wet affair. Luck, being on the side of the Badgers, produced clear skys during preparations at PJHS. With a police escort leading the way and the Pride of Prescott striking up a spirited beat, the candidates were driven up Gurley Street to Ken Lindley Field. Noticing that their photos were being taken for the yearbook, many varsity football player’s assumed becoming poses for the camera. Once a substantial crowd had gathered on the grass of the field, the Poms and Cheers began raising the level of excitement for the next night's games with cheers and the burning of an effigy of a Cortez Colt. Some students voiced an opinion that they would have liked to have seen the parade and pep rally before the game on Friday. This would have allowed returning alumni to participate along with current students in creating an intense atmosphere of school spirit. These events led up to Friday, the day of Homecoming, the football game, and the dance. The Badgers were ready for victory. homecoming 25
