UF 1983 CORONATION ACCENTS YEAR, EVENING IS MEMORABLE “It's the first time anyone in my family has been elected for anything exclaimed Steve Banwell, Homecoming King candidate. “My mom was on the phone all night. This was one senior's reaction to coronation while Queen candidates, Mary Borgen and Karen Tysk reflected upon the week as being “very nervous, totally busy, but great.” After Dave Anderson and Cheryl Gunness, Host and Hostess, announced the Lords, Ladies and King and Queen candidates the actual crowning began. Within minutes, Tony Taschner was revealed as the new King and Colleen Culp the new Queen. The crowd went home, but the night was still young for the members of the event, who still had dinner awaiting them at the Camelot. Because of the late evening, members were excused the following day until noon. Taschner and Chris Franz had a hard time explaining why this was so to Roger Thompson, trigonometry teacher. He was temporarily unwilling to accept this as a valid excuse. Coronation proved to be a time of smilea, activity and friends. It was a highlight of the year and was memorable for those who voted, set it up, and participated.

Maybe just because I'm a senior, but I think that a lot had to do with people becoming more involved. That made it better”, said Lori Oestreich. Added to all the usual activities held at homecoming time, in 1982 the first campout was held. “I thought the campout was a blast.” said Karen Coulin, “except that it was awfully cold and the school seemed really far away. Maybe co-ed tents and Satellites next year will solve that.” Bruce McLean, advisor of the campout, felt that “it went off very well. Students behaved themselves and there were no major problems. It should become a continuing tradition.” Other homecoming activities carried their usual spirit raising prestige. The pie-eating contest was, as usual, the most popular event. Seniors stuck their faces into pies for the last time, while freshmen gained their first experience, and sophomores and juniors simply enjoyed the fun with more contests to look forward to in the future. The volleyball games occupied two nights of the week, as students served up spirit. The lunchroom games, backgammon and ping-pong, kept students in the homecoming mood throughout school hours. The pepfest was highlighted by the Varsity Show, a skit about two girls from the fifties launched into the eighties via the Twilight Zone. It also boosted the already high spirits in preparation for the evening's game and dance. Right: Jim Thiei and Sara Unger prepare to build a fire at the campout. 1983 INVOLVEMENT
