secutive year for Spanish Club to win the car decoration category. After the car decoration awards were given, it was finally time to an- nounce the queen. Tension filled the air and Mr. Adams made the an- nouncement that Anastasia Fegaras, representing the Academic Team, was Rogers' 1986 Homecoming Queen. I felt really fantastic, Anas- tasia explained. It felt great when they announced my name and all those people in the audience were cheering for ME! Anastasia is sure to remember her night as Homecoming Queen, as will all the other girls who participated in this special moment. Homecoming is an event that most of us look forward to each fall. Cathy Drzewiecki summed up homecoming by saying, I didn't even want to win, it was just fun being a part of it. -Amy Russell The candidates and the escorts wait for the announcement ot the 1986 Homecomng Queen From left Mke Herald, donee Dumas.

How am I going to get a car to deco- rate for the homecoming parade, and who will help me decorate it once I find one? What color dress should I buy? What will I do if it rains? These are some of the many questions that run through a homecoming candi- date's mind after she has been in- formed that she has been nominated to represent a club in homecoming. This year, twenty-seven senior girls were lucky enough to be able to ask themselves these questions. Once answered, the girls busied themselves with preparations for the big night, October 10.Shopping was done for just the right dress, tissue flow- ers were made by the gross, and that important phone call was placed to the perfect escort to ask for his assis- tance. The weather is not as easily con- trolled as the other items in question, but fortunately, the weatherman co- operated totally this year, providing not only clear skies, but nearly ideal football weather . The candidates, their escorts, and drivers met at the Park-n-Shop to get ready for the big parade down Franklin Street to Ames Field. The band led the parade, followed by the class floats and then the candidates in their well- decorated cars. During halftime, the candidates were introduced to the spectators and awards were presented. In keep- ing with the tension-building tradition, the awards for the best-decorated cars and floats were announced first. For the third consecutive year, the class of '88 took first place for the best- decorated float. Minnesingers took third place honors for car decorations, and Math Club took second. The first place award for the best-decorated car was shared by Spanish Club and 9:30 VIC A.; this was the second con-

 Hey, now that's a fire! The flames blaze higher and higher and so does the Raider spirit. What's going on back there, ? one freshman asks an- other. I don't know, man. I think one of the mad scientists upstairs has built a bomb to blow up the school. I'm going to tell Mr. A. Moments later a loud intercom comes on full blast. It's Mr. A. This is rumor control. No, there is not an attack of foreigners loaded with atomic bombs in the back of the school, nor is that the new smoking area. It's a bonfire! Come on! Get out there and help celebrate ... ah ... celebrate ... celebrate everything! Go yell and scream and cheer and go CRAZY!!! Mr. A. excitedly invites all students to join the party. But we'll have no daredevils. Anyone who touches that fire gets a three day vacation in the in- house room. So the freshmen decide, Hey, let's go check it out. The band is playing the fight song as the cheerleaders fire up the crowd. The football team is doing their thing to psych them- selves up for the big game. Mr. Lange introduces all the mem- bers of the fall sports teams. Par- ents and fans grow closer and closer to the fire. The spirit's hap- penin' here at Rogers. Catch it! Catch it! -Lori Grams- The cheerleaders strut their stuff to the fight song as the firemen anxiously await to extinguish the fired-up crowd. Now that's a fire! , exclaims Mr.Kent Lange as he fires up the crowd at the bonfire 8 — spirit
