Neither Linda Ehrmann nor Shannon Maddox actu¬ ally know what a Maroon is. but does anyone? Capturing the look of the 30 s gave Mary Beth Udy and Richie Ballinger the opportunity to cuddle close. The balloon toss needed a delicate touch and water repellent clothing. The bon-fire gave students the chance to rally be¬ fore the Homecoming game. Opening 5 ■■

Clowning around is a favorite Homecoming time activity. Good times rolled Good times did roll over the 1986 Homecoming festivities and Rocky students had a great time. The traditional Homecoming assembly was one of the best. The Pep Club’s performance of the Rocky Shuffle brought smiles to team members, coaches and students. Laughter couldn ' t be contained when the overly made up second string cheerleaders were introduced by Bertha . Not wanting to be shown up, the real cheerleaders performed an excellent choreographed dance routine to the tune of Kiss by Prince. The assembly ended with the announcement of prince and princess, Chester Hickman and Twyla Perkins, and the crowning of King Fred Oelshlaeger and Queen Wendy Hunter. A blue sky and warm temperatures were the perfect day for a parade. The Junior ' s colorful rolling pin rolled its way to the number one award winner. Even a defeat by Moline couldn ' t ruin fans loyal school spirit as they cheered until the closing second. The brightly decorated girls gym was the place to be on Saturday night. The music played by alumnus, Ron Hotchkiss, had everyone on their feet keeping the beat. The night ended too soon, for another Homecoming had come and gone. But the memories of the 1986 Homecoming will be of Rocky’s ability to Let the Good Times Roll.
