Expressingdelight at the pre-qame pa- rade, Jeanne Mar- quecho watches as floats, cars, and queen candidates pass by. The ' 85 Pep Squad was joined by alumni from past squads who cheered dunnq the qame. There were no fireworks in the sky but excitement was still high as students celebrated with a Tro pical Treat Football Homecoming ' 85 Could it really be football homecoming without fireworks? Could it really be that halftime would fade into the third quarter without so much as one boom? Apparently so. In spite of the typhoon — courtesy of the Santa Ana winds — this was the best homecoming in my four years here, said Chris Boyer. Despite the lack of traditional fireworks on the evening of Novem- ber 1 , football homecoming — with Tropical Fantasy as a theme — upheld many of the customary annual events. The week began with flustered class councils attempting to corral classmates to flower making parties. Tuesday saw students in Hawaiian shirts and grass skirts and those same students appeared Wednesday in dictated disguise: Freshmen were nerds, sophomores dressed as surfers, ju- niors appeared in ' 50 garb, and seniors wrapped them- selves in togas. On Thursday students masqueraded in Hal- loween costumes. Friday was the traditional black and gold day. I thought students participated in the dress-up days with enthusiasm. I saw many in my classroom with outra- geous costumes on, testified Paul Kumamoto,leacher. The contest for the spirit stick turned into a surprise when the Class of ' 86 came from behind to overpower the juniors and seize a victory with only a one point lead. I ' m so happy we won, exclaimed Kristy Wansa, a senior. Stubborn Santa Ana winds welcomed Friday ' s festivities. Our float, joked Ernie Wright, senior class advisor, cer- tainly doesn ' t look anything like it did last night. Neverthe- less, judges were suitably impressed: the Class of ' 89 won the class float competition, the Pep Squad won in the club float category, and the Student Store was deemed to have the victorious club car. Joanne Eddy, a member of the Poms Squad, was crowned Homecoming Queen. Despite the loss to Colton on the field, students celebrat- ed the tropical fantasy for the last time at the dance at the 2001 Roller Rink. e Top Picture: From the tower on the held.
