It was a time for rallying with the crowd and planning special outfits to wear for each day of the week. It was a time of suspense as students awaited the queen's coronation, athletic events, and the homecoming dance. It was a time when students could uniquely express themselves. The week started with students rallying for a pepfest on Monday. Hawaiian outfits flooded the bleachers as stu- Homecoming Week dents waited to meet the queen candidates. The band, Tapaires, and cheerleaders remained enthusiastic for what several students later admitted was a mellow pepfest. For the duration of the week, students' spirit slowly became apparent. Tuesday boasted 50's Day, with poodle skirts and penny loafers bobbing down the hall. Dress-up Day (or dress-down day for the seniors) was widely participated in. Likewise, Thursday's Nerd Day caused positive results as seniors in white and designed toga sheets dominated the scene. By the end of the week, red and white could be seen worn by everyone. As usual, some students went all out each day to create a scene of school spirit, while others remained less daring. Overall, the week held the potential for all students to show their unique creativity.

Homecoming: Not Excitement ran through the school as the 1986 Homecoming Week began. On Monday, the homecoming candidates and their escorts were introduced to the school at the pepfest. On Wednesday evening, the crowd assembled in the school auditorium for the coronation of the 1986 homecoming queen. Before the name of the new queen was released, the 70th Street Singers provided entertainment for everyone. Also on the program was a solo by Becky Keith and a duet by Lowell VandeKamp and Jay Matuzak. Then, as the tension grew, announcers Jenny Gilpin and Tim Schweitzer introduced the 1985 Fire and Ice King Peter Kraker to reveal the new queen, and the crowd cheered as he hugged Lila Overlee. I want to give a special thanks to the class of 1987 for selecting me as your queen. An thanks also to the faculty and the student body, said Lila. On Friday night the queen and her court took their traditional ride in convertibles and had front row seats at the football game. The game was exciting, as the Spartans defeated St. Louis Park 14-3. This Year's homecoming was truly not to be forgotten. to be forgotten HOMECOMING ROYAL COURT (above) — Kim Pelo, Bill Linnemon; Charla Carriere, Chris Cregar; Kathy Sonday, Tom Brunes; Lisa Tvetene, Brian Provost; Jenny Zubick, Scott Carlson; Lila Overlee, Kevin Larson; Jill Hickman, Trent Mo-braaten; Christy Holt, Spencer Dahl; Tracy Martin, Tom Best; Gina Fornicoia, Troy Flanagan.
