An enthusiastic crowd, fine entertainment and anticipation made the coronation A Royal Affair Tension filled the auditorium Wednesday evening during Homecoming week as the 1987 Homecoming Queen was about to be chosen. It was quite a surprise when Beth Johnson, escorted by Pete Skwira, was hugged by last year's Fire and Ice King, Scott Carlson, and crowned Homecoming Queen. When I moved here at the end of my sophomore year, I never thought that this would ever happen, said Johnson, It is such an honor! I would like to thank the Senior Class for selecting me as your queen. I am honored and proud to represent the class of '88. Have a great year! Following the tradition, the coronation had entertainment from the Jazz Ensemble. As additional entertainment, seniors Becky Johnson and Becky Keith sang solos, senior Michelle Holm played a piano solo, and senior Kris Heruth did a jazz dance to U Got the Look by Prince. The MC's for the coronation were Peter Gokey (12) and Jennie Richardson (12). Being a candidate was great because being chosen by your peers to represent your grade is a terrific thing, senior Kelly Williams said. Williams also said that she met a lot of people and had a lot of fun doing the various Homecoming activities. There was a little variation in this year's Homecoming week. This year the football game was the Friday before the coronation. Because of that, there was no queen reigning at the game. However, most people felt that this change did not disrupt the Homecoming activities. It was a change, but I don't really think it affected the spirit of Homecoming, said junior Samantha Sutton. Obviously, most of the students would prefer to have the game following the coronation, but Homecoming enthusiasm was not hurt by a change in dates. — Jeni Jensen BUTTERFLIES — Queen Candidate Missy Spinner anxiously awaits her introduction at coronation.
