ESV? Y Q, rirt if .,-.ai E Q' W Q: ' M1' .QQ. i ' ' E. reigns at homecomin g Homecoming. It is the time of year when laughter mingles with the sounds of clanking bells and rustling ribbons. It is a time of spirit and unity that even the rain could not dampen. The week before Homecoming was an extraordinary one with competitions, which included everthing from spirit links to floats. Also, there were fun filled days that involved dressing Hawaiian, wearing special class colors, wearing maroon and white and showing off hats and formals. Each class also challenged each other in the spirit link competition, racing for proof of who had more spirit. The juniors came out on top. The float competition was entered by every class and a few organizations. This year's theme was Legends In Our Time. The parade also had a procession of classic cars in which the Homecoming nominees rode, winning the hearts of the crowd as they passed by with friendly smiles and waves. After the parade came the bonfire which acted as a city-wide pep rally. The floats were parked on the track to be admired and judged for originality and appearance. The juniors, once again, took first placeg second place went to the sophomores and third place went to the seniors. All the classes were very proud of their work. All the next day tension hung in the air mixed with hope and anticipation. Everyone was busy thinking of the game and the possible outcome. At the start of the game, SPINNING THE WHEEL of victory are the freshman Sean Fitzpatrick, Kelly Klinke, Stephen Williams, Joseph Parr and Amy McClure.

Www' Mlm rairifa f l the crowd settled into the bleachers to see the nominees again and wait for the action. Some time in the second quarter a light mist of rain fell and the crowd thinned out a little. By halftime the mist had stopped long enough to crown the new queen, Kara Deal, senior and the princesses, Felicia Hitt, senior, Jennifer Logan, junior, April Leazure, sophomore and Marla Shue, freshman. Though the Hawks did not win, the feelings were not all of sorrow. There was a different prevailing mood. It was the great show of spirit and support that lifted the wings of every Red Oak Hawk. W!
