Royal Court Above: Trumpet fanfare starts Coronation. Silence fell as the lights dimmed and a spotlight gleamed upon the nervous candi- dates for Homecoming Royalty. The hushed crowd waited anxiously to see who would be crowned as the new King and Queen. Last Year’s Royalty, Brett Corson and Barb Grant, were on hand to pass on their crowns. Finally after several dra- matic pauses, the new crowns were placed on Kash Priebc and DeAnn Hanson. The Above: Preston-Fountain pep band adds music to Coronation.

The night air was crisp and clear for the blazing bonfire, which was the first official function for the new royalty after their official portraits were taken by the professional photogra- pher.

Homecoming Spirit Sparkled in 1980 The spirit from Coronation continued on into the next day as all academic classes were cancelled to allow each class to build their floats for the parade in the afternoon. At 2:30 p.m. the Band led the parade around the court house square of Pre- ston. It was obvious that a lot of forethought and attention was given to the construction of every float. The football team proved to be victorious that evening, beating the Spring Valley Wolves 30-18. Winners of float building competition were announced at halftime of the game. Senior high winner was the class of ’80, while jun- ior high honors went to ’85. LEFT PAGE: Float Building Activities result in these examples of creative endeavors.
