Homecoming Week Filled With Memories Homecoming week is a week full of special moments. It's a time full of activities and excitement. It's dressing up in crazy outfits, cheering at pepfests, attending the crowning of the queen, rooting for the home team, and dancing with your sweetheart. It's a week in which memories arc made. Homecoming week '85 was kicked off with a pepfest. Monday afternoon. The cheerleaders and band helped stir the crowd by playing and yelling enthusiastically. Students could be seen rising to the Spartan beat and clapping along with the school song. Unfortunately spirit was dampered by groups of students who were rude and disruptive. Homecoming Week started with two new dress-up days on Monday and Tuesday. There seemed to be little participation from the students. but as the week went on more spirit was aroused. Hardly a student could been seen not wearing red or white, either on his face, in his hair, or in his clothing on Friday. All in all Homecoming Week was filled with memories to last a lifetime.

Suspense, Cheers, And Excitement After two weeks of waiting and wondering, the crowd assembled in the Auditorium with excitement and suspense. As the drum roll began, 1984 Fire and Ice King. Greg Mellscmoen, paced the stage ready to reveal the 1985 Homecoming queen. Then, suddenly, cheers filled the auditorium as Beth Ashland was crowned 1985 Homecoming queen. “It is such an honor to be chosen by your peers,” said Beth. “I was nervous and excited throughout the whole week, especially the night of coronation.” Two nights later. Queen Beth and her court made their traditional ride around the football field in classy convertibles during the Homecoming game halftime. The cold night air kept the girls a little numb, but nothing could keep them from being happy and excited. Although the Spartans lost to Jefferson 21-0, the crowd was rowdy and full of spirit. Many alumni returned for the game making it a super “homecoming.” OS PARADE — Queen Beth and pngcs Darcy Smith and Andy Trudeau parade around the field in a convertible during halftime.
