;m ULj wuuu ! STOfcfiKVS THt CLfiSS r 87 fckJua— r p A Knight in Hollywood —— The stars were out and shining throughout the en- tire 1986 Homecoming. The events culminated with the football game on October 17 and the dance on October 18. Despite the heartrending 7-2 loss to Spalding, the festivities continued. Senior, Penny Proksch commented, the halftime procession really adds a lot to the Homecoming fes- tivities. Students, parents, and alumni filled the Richwoods stadium to view the emotional game and the glittering halftime events. The queen candidate's were driven around the track in convertibles. Mitzi Lee was crowned queen and rec eived a bouquet of roses. The winner of the spirit stick was also an- nounced; the seniors prevailed in the annual contest. The band and the Royalettes also performed to add to the excitement. At 8:00 p.m. the next evening, couples began to arrive at the dance. The theme this year was A Knight in Hollywood, and the g m was decorated accord- ingly with the help of the Student ( ouncil. The queen's backdrop was the famous Hollywood Hill, and the other decorations included an array of bou- tiques and the four class corners. The senior corner was chosen as the best with it's version of the movie theater. In the middle of the evening, the queen and her court were escorted to the platform where the queen received her gift. Then, the traditional queen's dance occurred and the festivities contin- ued. A new twist, however, was the source of music. A duo of disc jockeys called Us provided dance mu- sic and a light show, junior Cary Thompson liked the change, The disc jockeys are a lot better than live bands because they can play anthing we want to hear. Another new twist was the use of key chains , designed like tickets, which c ouples could keep as a souvenir. Student Council Vice-President Cathy Hartman was in charge of the Homecoming events and was happy to report, “Homecoming was a sue c ess thanks to the hard work of committee chairmen and the help of many students. In spite of all the work, I had so much fun. I'd happily do it all again. I As 11:00 p.m. drew near, the last homecoming event for 1986 was slowly winding down. Couples dispursed for parties, small gatherings or for a snack before heading home. The night was indeed a Knight to remember. n Irtlum bir I SThe Knight mascot, John .m«l the « heerlearlers psv« hr up the itiiwil (luting the homecoming game.
