During a homecoming week filled with colorful activities, students were THAT HORNET!!! — Senior Spinner, homecoming queen can-tried to pin a tail on the hornet. Getting Fired Up ror the first time in history, the Homecoming game was played without a reigning queen. The football game was played on the Saturday night before the official coronation. The victorious (21-3) football game over the Edina Hornets was not surprising, since Richfield was undefeated during the regular season. Reactions varied about the game being held on Saturday. I did not like it, said sophomore Shawn Moore. They should have the dance right afterwards. The Lake Blue policy, which prevents games being played on religious holiday, was the reason for the Saturday game. A rowdy pep fest was held during third mod Friday. A variety of acts were held like the introduction of the homecoming candidates who played pin the tail on the Hornet. The guy Tapaires were the best, said sophomore Tracy Ohland. The number one danceline, the Tapaires, also performed and the MC was the fabulous Steady Eddy. The pep fest was rowdy, but did not get students fired up for the football game that was held on Saturday, said Angie Wilkinson (11). New twists came in spirit week, too. There was more school spirit this year than others, said senior Karla Olsen. The rowdiest day 'was Nerd day. It was also the funniest, said Mary Wright (12). The week ended with many couples going to We're so happy together the theme for the homecoming dance.

Best friends, good music and fun times made everyone U GOT THE LOOK — Junior Stephanie Illg snaps along with the beat. So Happy not only did the Homecoming Dance theme describe the relationships between couples, but it also set the tone for the night of October 10: So Happy Together. The dance was a lot of fun, much more relaxed than dinner, said Todd Dexter (12). It was really casual and it started the fun for the night. Spirit Unlimited provided the entertainment for newly crowned Queen Beth Johnson and her royal court. The music was great, said senior Rob Clinite. Much better than a live band would have done. This way we could actually dance Together to good music. Although there were several couples on the floor, they did not compare in numbers to the crowds of people who waited in line for pictures. Everyone seemed to want some sort of memory from the biggest dance of the fall. Overall, the dance was an exciting night for everyone, good music, fun times, and best friends, a great ending to an excellent Homecoming week! said Nichole Stavros (12). — Kelly Williams WANNA DANCE? — Juniors Mi- CHILDREN BEHAVE ... — Molly chelle LaDue and Jay Ritzman get ready Doyle (11) and Jay Walter (12) sing along for a slow dance. with their favorite songs.
