10 Students strive for the best Homecoming competition Competitiveness while having fun was the dominant attitude among the student body during Homecoming Spirit Week. Each class worked together to show their spirit and support for the football team. Monday was Pajama Day and also poster competition with the imaginative work of the Sophomores capturing first place. Everyone, includ- ing many teachers, backed their favorite on College Day, and Wednesday found clothes re- versed for Inside Out Day. 60's outfits were abundant Thursday, and waves of tra- ditional black and gold filled the halls Friday. Class spirit was very evi- dent Wednesday night at the pep session and bonfire. The Seniors showed their stuff by winning the class cheer, boy's tug-of-war, and foot- ball dress. Senior Vince Car- levato proved he was the fastest banana eater around as he won his fourth straight pep rally eating contest. The Juniors were victorious in the girl's tug-of-war and pyr- amid building, before every- one dashed off to see the bonfire. The float competition took place during halftime of Friday's game. Each class had been working on their float for four weeks, and for the Seniors, the many hours of creativity paid off when their Take A Victory Ride On The Wildcat Express, float was awarded first place. Soph- omores took second, and Juniors were third. Al- though the Freshman float was damaged in a storm ear- lier in the day, they showed a lot of spirit by riding out on their wagon to cheer on the football team. Spirit week was a time when we all worked togeth- er toward common goals. Whatever our reasons for participating, spirit week will be remembered as one of the highlights of the school year.

The customs only get better Homecoming tradition Adrenaline was flowing for the Homecoming game and dance. Not only were the football players pysched, but so was the entire student body. At halftime of the game, the Homecoming queen candidates and atten- dants were introduced. Before Homecom- ing week, each class had voted for the girl they wanted to represent them. Freshman attendant was Becky Berrisford, Chris Montgomery was the choice of the Sophomores, and Lisa Harris served as Junior atten- dant. The seniors elected three candidates for Home- coming queen, Donna Haase, Amy Harris, and Kylie Helt. Voting for the queen took place on Wednesday of Homecoming week, but the results were not known until Friday night when a very elated Kylie Helt was coron- ated. I was surprised and really excited when I heard my name ' Kylie said. The Wild- cat football team met a tough con- ference foe in the Attica Ramblers, and they were de- feated 41 to 12. Moonlight Memories were found Saturday night at the high school foyer for the Homecoming dance. The cheerleaders were sponsors of the dance that brought Homecoming Week 1986 to a captivating end.
